Tiny Hominin Ancestors

 Ancient ancestor mastered use of fire

    Source:  HealthDay

(HealthDay News) -- More bones of a tiny hominin species called Homo
floresiensis have been found on the remote Indonesian island of
Flores.

The new bones include another jaw bone and the right arm that belonged
to the owner of a skull found during the initial dig, which was
described in Nature last October.

The latest bone finds provide further evidence that H. floresiensis
was a naturally tiny species and did not suffer from an abnormally
small brain size, the researchers said. Dating of the bones indicates
that H. floresiensis lived on the island as recently as 12,000 years
ago.

The researchers also said they've found evidence that H. floresiensis
had mastered the use of fire. Other remains found at the site showed
that H. floresiensis butchered a small, elephant-like species called
Stegodon.

These latest findings appear in the journal Anthropology.

Given the subject you wrote, do you feel competent to tell the origin
of a bone? Can you distinguish a money bone from a hominid?

You mean as opposed to a money bone from a non-hominid?

I wish I had a money bone.

Easy find a very old Bone that no one has ever seen before, call it
ahomonid, and make fortune. I guess little green men from mars are
homonids, just like bigfoot.

That's why our paper money is mostly green.  The martians are in

Yep. Which is why they are letting lots of people look at these bones
instead of locking it away.

Now answer my questions: do you feel competent to tell the origin of a
bone? Can you distinguish a monkey bone from a hominid?

Of course we do! And as was said before, this is one reason why artifacts
are made available for study rather than just locked away...

Now can you tell us all why you think that one hoax from nearly a century
ago automatically negates the validity of all other fossil finds everywhere?

Put up or shut up.  (Not that I hold much hope that you'll do either
one.  It's not in an evolutionists nature to shut up when they don't
know what they're talking about.  And there's no way in hell they can
produce non-existent evidence.)

Only an complete net-nube or idiot would expect that.  He's nymshifting with
almost every post now to avoid killfiles and get people to reply.   Also,
anything cross-posted to rec.ponds or AFN is Jabbers.  You might want to
remove those NGs if you want to reply to him.  Spare everyone else the
torture.  :-)

I don't usually waste time and energy responding to Jabbers, other
than to plonk his latest incarnation.

Quick Watson, there are several moments to lose!
Let us weigh up the evidence:
Mmm.. "Tiny brain", "recently extinct", "nearly human".
Egad Watson!
I think we have found duke's ancestors!

Well, there's people who are trying to unravel the physical evidence, and
come up with a reasonable hypothesis to explain the origins and evolution
of hominids.  There are other people who think that a book of Bronze
Age mythology has all the answers anyone ever needs, and only evil, wicked
people would even question its completeness or accuracy.  Those people I
refer to as "idiots."  Unfortunately, idiocy is not against the law, not
even Nature's Law.  But it should be.
