HOW OLD IS MAN?

The age of the genus Homo, according to the latest scientific report, is most likely about 2.33 million years. This is the age of an African jaw bone, the earliest positively dated fossil in the human family.

The report, published in the December issue of the Journal of the Human Evolution, said that the jaw bone was found near a scattering of crude stone tools in fossil sediments in the Hadar highlands of Northern Ethiopia.

Scientists said there might be a link between the chopping tools and the species represented by the jaw bone. It indicates that the first toolmakers were early members of the large-brained Homo group. And they existed some 2.33 million years ago.

But those who question the Evolution Theory are not really excited about the findings. They sniffed, "Age does not matter".

Interesting article. One part confused me, however, as I couldn't figure out to whom you were referring.

"They sniffed, "Age does not matter"."
