It's been 30 years since Ardi. How far have we come since then in the search for Chimp Human Last Common Ancestor
Gelatinous squid posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I know it gets harder the farther back you go, but we're now farther from Ardi than we were from Lucy when Ardi was found. Is there anything not in the popular press?- 1 reply

when does archaeology become paleontology?
Gelatinous squid posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I just stumbled across this hillariously bizarre story https://allthatsinteresting.com/ichthyosaurus-fossil?utm_source=quora&utm_medium=referral about a guy who dug up a fossil that had been buried by his creationist ancestors, which made me wonder, was this story about archaeology or palentology? But more generally, when does archeology become paleontology? How far back do you have to go? Is it tools? Fire? Bipedalism?- 9 replies
