Human Culture

The existence and dispersion of an aspect of modern human culture has now been conclusively shown to be 100,000 years old.

This ain't Adam and Eve; they must have happened several 10's of thousands of years before that!

Even 30 years ago, when I was obtaining my Anthro BA, our speculation was that we could successfully mate (that is, have fertile offspring) with humans from 150,000 years ago.

Guess we were right!
