New Skeleton Finds May Revamp History of Human Evolution 131
brindafella links to a series of articles published yesterday in the journal Science "on Australopithecus sediba, explaining that skeletons found in the Malapa cave in the World Heritage listed 'Cradle of Civilisation' push back to 1.97 million years the oldest known tool-using, ape-like pre-humans." As is typical, the full Science articles are paywalled, but the abstracts are interesting. (If you're a university student — or, in some cases, an alumni club member — you may have full journal access and not even realize it.) NPR has a nice article on the find as well.

See, more proof that evolution is bogus and creationism is true. The evolutionists just have to keep changing their story.

I thought civilization had to do with agriculture and an end to being total nomads, so one could build a city.
Civilization is defined by the use of monetary instruments. The more advanced the civilization, the closer they are to using Bitcoins.

I'm guessing he hasn't received his copy of Science yet.
