   Just about any organic less than 20,000 years old can be accurately   
   dated by carbon 14 measurements, unless the specimen has somehow become   
   radioactively contaminated or has been burned.

   Did you know that Alfered Wallace also attended seances? Wallace was   
   clever enough to have hypothosized natural selection (as did Darwin),   
   but he was nowhere near as scienficcally thorough as Darwin. Darwin held   
   off publishing -Origin of Species- partly because of caution and the   
   desire to make the strongest case possible in favor of natural selection.
