My family has been doing this for several generations. My race is so ambiguous and I love it because I can jive with so many ethnic groups.

I’m 38 years old and I think I’ve read a “What We Know About Lucy Is Wrong” article every year.
It’s not surprising, of course, because this is the entirety of the fossil.
What are some of the harmful things that he’s attached his name to? I’m out of the loop…
What sort of discussion topics are you interested in?
I was just reading about how, in the middle ages in both Europe and in the Islamic nations, scientists required a patron who would sponsor their lifestyle and their experiments. There were hardly any universities at the time, except for Baghdad’s House of Wisdom, and so scientific pursuits were very individual, haphazard and financially dependent on whichever lord or caliphate who found your research interesting enough to pay for it.
Come on down to Penn State, my friend, where most research is absolutely dominated by military contracts and conservative philanthropists. I have a few friends who have transferred to other universities for this reason only.

The real singers were two men and a woman, if I recall correctly…
Isn’t that Lamarckism? If I recall correctly, that’s an older model of evolution that is not commonly recognized anymore.
I swear that I’m not trying to be obtuse, but I have a lot of doubts.
What kind of ropes and wooden sleds, manufactured in 4000 BC, can move 80 ton stones? There are tensile limits…
I’ve also heard of this. It seems to me that this theory should be easy to confirm with some sort x-ray or radar or lidar or something, so that we can see the shape of the structure beneath the superficial layers…
Source? I’m not doubting you. I’m just surprised that the government would limit research, probably for political reasons.
It seems like you’re out for blood, my friend.
I’ve cited three academic scientists in this conversation. You’re welcome to check them out if you want.
I don’t know, my friend. I’m not an archeologist or Egyptologist. I’m just an enthusiast who has read a dozen conflicting theories.
Yeah, I remember this guy. He claimed that Stonehenge in England could have been built like this. The pyramids of Giza are much more complex, of course. Still, I think it’s entirely possible that the pyramids were built using very clever engineering principles that were forgotten and that we don’t need because we have cranes and power tools and hydraulics, etc.
They also depict gods with the heads of jackals and birds, beings from other planets, their conception of the afterlife, pornography, and obviously exaggerated claims about the power and influence of the Pharoahs.
I’m saying that we should be skeptical. dubitante omnibus, as Descartes would say…
I never suggested that they couldn’t.
Personally, I don’t think that the “brute force” argument is the best. I think it’s arguing from ignorance.
Again, there are hundreds of articles about the adjacent work camps. Please look at the publications of Zahi Hawass, chief archeologist of Egypt, and Amihai Mazar, a professor of archeology in Jerusalem.
Most claim that there could have been up to ten thousand workers. Some claim that the number of workers was as low as 1600.
There is nothing more speculative than evolutionary psychology.
