Rainbow can be pretty confident of his lineage. Why did you even mention Ardipithecus ramidus? No remains of them have been found outside Africa.macdoc wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 7:24 amUmm Africa is not America and are you sure of your lineage?

It's making me dizzy!Some days fly by faster than others, and it's not a figment of your imagination.
According to the people who watch the world's clocks for a living, June 29 this year was one of those days.
Earth completed one spin in 1.59 milliseconds less than 24 hours, making it the shortest day since the dawn of atomic clocks.
On July 26, Earth shaved 1.50 milliseconds off 24 hours.
If the trend gathers pace, timekeepers may need to create the first ever negative leap second to keep our clocks synchronised with the planet's rotation.
So why is Earth spinning faster? And what impact will it have on the way we — and our computers — tell time?

Re: Science news of the day thread.
did you actually read his post'
His comeback is
a) wrong continent
b) wrong content.... Australopithecines are not as direct as Ardi and more of an offshoot/parallel evo stream as chimps and bonobos etc are rather than "evolved from."
The article is about humans in the Americas.Big deal. Humans have been in Africa, since humans first evolved from the Australopithecines.

If you are truly interested, read the book by the people that found Ardi. Fossil Men.
This is a good bit of information.
