"We were able to document one of the earliest benign bone tumors ever found, one individual may have had a surgical amputation of his hand, and several individuals had examples of osteoarthritis which may have made them a little stiff in the morning," said Dr. Monge. SUMMER 1999-When researchers from the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology were given the first-ever opportunity to study the radiographic images of the famous Krapina Neandertal fossil bone collection, they were looking for signs of pathology, disease, and weakness in a group of hominids long thought by many to have "died out" in classic Darwinian survival-of-the-fittest style. Their ultimate diagnosis, however: these Neandertals were in large part a robust, healthy people. "This is exciting new data, and the first time researchers have had an opportunity to view, in total, so many radiographic images of fossils from an entire group of Neandertals, as found together in one site," noted Dr. Alan Mann
HOMO SCHIZO I: Chapter 2: HOMINIDS IN HOLOGENESIS AMEGHINO S ARGENTINE hominids Argentine paleontologist and archaeologist, are duea review in the light of recent oceanography, paleontology, and anthropology. http://www.grazian-archive.com/quantavolution/QuantaHTML/vol_06/homoschizo_1_02.
Extractions: CHAPTER TWO Might all types of known hominids and proto-humans have been of the species homo sapiens (schizotypus) in physiology and culture? Might these and all modern races have appeared during the past 14,000 years? Might man have originated hologenetically in the holocene period, by quantavolution? Such is the line of questioning and argument to be followed here; outrageous as it may be to conventional theory, it may be also productive. He was connected with homo erectus in time and with the Acheulian-Chellean culture at Olduvai, which culture extends into the Terrafine of North Africa and is found also at Swanscombe and Steinheim, with practically modern man. Opposing the theory that australopithecus was human stands largely the thesis that he is anatomically too different from modern man. To the forgoing response may be added the following: we do not know what are the limits of variation within the single species or how the principal distinction employed that interbreeding be impossible would apply here. It is of significance that Johanson had persistent doubts about classifying his fossil hominid, "Lucy." He argued that she might be called homo, but relented at the prospect, then, that all australopithecines would logically have to be regarded as of the homo line. Where would we go to find our hominid ancestors? The search for the missing link would begin again.

Extractions: Registered: Apr 2002 Message 31 of 46 06-24-2002 12:35 AM This isn't really a "reply", but more of a way to mention a point that has been overlooked by both sides. Simply put, the idea that the earth of millions of years ago isn't geographically the same as the earth of today. So, you must redefine what you mean by global. Mark I didn't agree that stratigrpahy matches phlogeny whenever the data is good. Can you show a reference that states that with supportive statistical data? I don't think Benton has shown this and he's almost the only one doing this stuff systematically. The anecdotal story of the horse is not good enough. We do expect this result to a certain extent becasue we also expect a certain amount of correlation with homology.
Human Evolution At The Crossroads: Integrating Genetics And Paleontology more feasible for primate studies. Research on early hominids, she argues Researchthat integrates paleontology and genetics may provide some resolution to http://www.innovations-report.com/html/reports/life_sciences/report-25833.html
Extractions: Hlusko organized a Monday symposium on human evolution at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. She brought together experts who study phylogenetics, ancient DNA, developmental genetics, quantitative genetics and primate evolution so that they could share the same stage to discuss their current work, and where they may be able to go on together in an effort to understand the evolution of our ancestors. The session was discussed Sunday at a news briefing. Research on early hominids, she argues, has benefited from an abundance of new fossil finds, but the emerging data are leading to competing interpretations of human origins and evolution instead of providing clarity. Research that integrates paleontology and genetics may provide some resolution to these debates, she said.
Extractions: Recent reports of fossil finds in Ethiopia may change the way scientists draw the human family tree. The fossils, over 5 million years old, give new information about the way early hominids moved and the habitats that they lived in. We'll find out more. Plus, new research into the structure of dinosaurs' noses says that many depictions of the ancient creatures are all wrong. We'll talk about it.

Extractions: ...the discovery thus seemed to undermine the simplest linear models of hominid evolution. If the earliest hominids like Toumai were directly ancestral to australopithecines like Lucy, Dr. Lieberman pointed out, there would have had to have been two reversals to reach the advanced characteristics of the Homo lineage. Otherwise, he added, Toumai is ancestral to some other hominids that then gave rise to the Homo species, in which case australopithecines are a side branch outside the human ancestral line.

The session was discussed Sunday at a news briefing. "Data from developmental genetics and biomedicine, coupled with advances in computer technology, now provide us with a wealth of new information from which to better understand the genetic and non-genetic influences underlying primate, including human, evolution," Hlusko said in an interview. "By combining these different data sets with the fossil record, we don’t have to be just paleontologists, or just geneticists. Because selection operates on the genome through our anatomies, it makes better sense to conduct our research with a similarly integrative approach. Recent advances in genetics have now made this method more feasible for primate studies. "

Extractions: The Geology of South Africa Geological Map of South Africa South African Geology and Palaeontology Introduction to Geology South Africa is a unique geological and palaeontological destination, providing an overview of 3.5 billion years of earth history and the evolution of life which cannot be studied in such completeness anywhere else in the world. South Africa not only hosts some of the oldest rocks in the world, source of South Africa’s great mineral wealth, but also some of the oldest known fossils. The famous Bushveld Complex, the earth’s largest ore deposit, hosts the largest platinum, chromium and vanadium deposits in the world. In the context of the history of gold mining in Southern Africa, there are the numerous gold rush towns of Johannesburg, Pilgrim’s Rest and Barberton in the north and Millwood in the south to be visited. Also famous is the Premier diamond mine, where the famed 3106 carat "Cullinan" diamond, the largest ever found, was discovered and later incorporated into the British Crown Jewels. There is also ample evidence of ice ages occurring throughout earth history as well as of continental drift and the break-up of the ancient continent of Gondwana to form continents as we know them today.
