If you put an object there early in solar system history, it's been stable forever, so these things really are the fossils of what planets formed from," Lucy principal investigator Hal Levison, a planetary scientist at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, said during a prelaunch news conference held on Wednesday (Oct. 13).

A new look at an old fossil find potentially pushes back the date when Homo sapiens lived in Europe. (phys.org)

We now have more than 30 fossils from at least nine individuals dated between 4.3 and 4.5 million years old," said Semaw, Gona Palaeoanthropological Research Project director and Stone Age Institute research scientist. (sciencedaily.com)
Last month (December 2004), Semaw coauthored a paper in Geological Society of America Bulletin summarizing Gona's geological properties and the site's cornucopia of hominid fossils spanning several million years. (sciencedaily.com)
An evolutionary perspective of our place in the history of the earth reminds us that Homo sapiens sapiens has occupied the planet for the tiniest fraction of that planet's four and a half thousand million years of existence. (todayinsci.com)

The oldest fossils are about 2 million years old. (newscientist.com)
Fossils show it was in Georgia by 1.8 million years ago , in China before 1.6 million years ago and in Indonesia perhaps 1.7 or 1.8 million years ago . (newscientist.com)

Scattered across the globe, fossils are traces of organisms from a past geologic age that have been embedded and preserved in the Earth's crust. (listverse.com)

Anthropologists who are intimately familiar with the ancient Homo record are not that many, so it is a pleasure to see a paper which tries to put their feuds and different perspectives into a historical context. (blogspot.com)
A number of anthropologists have studied the fossil over time, but it has not usually been included in discussions about H. sapiens in Europe. (phys.org)

According to John Lundberg from Drexel University's Academy of Natural Sciences, the ancient fossil is more like the modern-day catfish than one would expect. (listverse.com)
Even though the fossil is relatively old in the way we ordinarily think of ages in millions of years, it is still essentially anatomically modern and directly comparable to living catfishes," said Lundberg. (listverse.com)
