So, is that an example of reclaiming the word "bible thumper" for the moderate wing - very classily done btw.

I just love this stuff on all humanities shared family tree - especially as I did not read the first paragraph carefully and thought they had discovered the 340,000 year old man was called Albert Perry !

Humanity it seems has travelled, adventured and loved all over the world for far longer than we can imagine - its a privilege to be part of such an inspiring history.

Well I'm accused of being a Bible thumper far more often than I'm accused of being moderate or liberal.

My first pass, I thought Albert Perry lived 340,000 years ago too. I think this article needs an editor. :-)
Glad its not just me.

I would love the next human ancestor to be named Albert Perry in honour of the article, much like Lucy.
