Ancient Stone Tools Raise Tantalizing Questions Over Who Colonized Sulawesi
The discovery of stone tools on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, dating back at least 118,000 years, has raised intriguing questions about its early inhabitants, as current evidence suggests modern humans only arrived there 50,000 to 60,000 years ago. This discrepancy points to the possibility of an as-yet-undetermined hominin species occupying the island, perhaps a new ancestor, a migration of Homo floresiensis from nearby Flores, or an earlier arrival of modern humans than currently believed. Archaeologists are now actively searching for fossils to solve this puzzle and clarify who made these ancient tools.

#1 while Rome did (accidentally) burn part of the library, so did invading Muslim forces. It burned several times, some long after the budget cuts listed, showing that the thing was around despite money problems.

Jacqueline, Excrement can hold a lot of scientific, medical, and sociological information. When I was young, it was still common for a doctor to ask how a patient's digestion was, because it could reveal so much about so many medical questions. That doesn't happen anymore, and I can tell you from a life time of experience that many, many people end up with terminal illnesses because they have not had a healthy bowel movement in years, so their bodies have become toxic. Similarly, excrement can tell scientists how ancient peoples lived, what they ate, what their social standing was, how their health was, etc.

#21 that's wrong. They've been three different tests and they range between 1200 ad and 1300 ad. The Catholic church doesn't even claim it's a relic anymore.
