Keep her lit grey Quote I'm not sure why you keep mentioning homo erectus to support you're stance, Francie, but I was under the impression that homo erectus fossils have been found in widespread areas of Asia, Africa and Europe and have been subject to much investigation, including ct scans. No one in palaeontology doubts they existed, so, again, I can't see what your point is ? Cheers. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You need a licence for a dog in Ireland, but no licence needed for big cats, wolves, monkeys, alligators etc. You're legally entitled to own them and no laws against it. Don't think the government even keep a register. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dai was on the machine cutting the coal face.and said they had huge hydraulic rams holding the ceiling up..he called it the squeeze coming on when the whole roof would start lowering down.he said the even the huge rams would struggle when the squeeze would happen..that's some environment to be mate.and I know you done a long stint down the pits..

My point is charts,ape to man evoloution is on its last legs,it's clear to see now even in evoloution circles,that all the homos lol erectus sapien,neandertal etc are humans,just a variation due to region an diet,an it makes sense. Ffs even now there's people in the world who look like erectus,big brows,flat skulls. To begin with there's barely slight differences in all the hominoids anyway,java man Lucy etc There's no inbetween. Darwin seen what we see today,variation in the kind,due to region of the world an diet 3 Link to post Share on other sites
