A recent story from BBC News emphasizes how difficult it can be to pick out the science from the hype when reading science news reporting. The article, “Woolly mammoth extinction ‘not linked to humans’,” explains some recent research by a Durham University professor based on a computer simulation of climate change over the last 42,000 [...]

Humans definitely didn’t wipe out the woolly mammoths, maybe

Should the Neanderthal people be looked at as a group of humans that lived only before the Deluge or only after the Deluge — or both? It’s an interesting question. What brings it to mind for me is the discovery of a Neanderthal skull fragment at the bottom of the North Sea, 15 km off [...]

I’ve wondered what kinds of technologies the pre-flood humans might have had. So far, archaeology has not unearthed any evidence of high-tech devices from that period of time. Indeed, it is difficult to tell which if any of the present archaeological discovers are pre-flood, not least because most people working in that field don’t accept [...]

An article in NewScientist Thursday alerted me to a recent controversy over the Indus script, a set of symbols associated with the Indus Valley civilization of eastern Pakistan and western India. The Indus valley civilization is dated in the timeframe of 2500 to 1900 BCE, according to writer Ewen Callaway (see “Scholars at odds over [...]

An article from The Daily Galaxy points to some interesting genetic research showing that Neanderthals had the same “language gene” as modern humans. (See “Did Neanderthals Share the “Language Gene” with Homo Sapiens?“) In an article in Current Biology, geneticist Svante Pääbo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, describes the process by [...]
