New discoveries and new information appear in modern civilization from time to time.
It is a wonderful thing.
As a species, we continue to learn and develop an enormous body of knowledge that if used to think critically and carefully will result in a continued advancement of our common culture.
Sometimes, there is so much evil nonsense and fascism about that it seems like all is lost and that may yet happen. The images of the 1930’s of book burnings and exultant crowds marching in the streets celebrating the massive evil of their leader seem like a rehearsal for America today. And I know that some of us wonder if the death camps and the crematoria cannot be far behind.
But at the moment, there are still signs of science and progress. Here is a link to the story and a short quote.
Prof Chris Stringer, an anthropologist and research leader in human evolution at the Natural History Museum in London, said: “This changes a lot of thinking because it suggests that by 1m years ago our ancestors had already split into distinct groups, pointing to a much earlier and more complex human evolutionary split than previously believed. It more or less doubles the time of origin of Homo sapiens.”
