The Eocene       Period was about 50,000,000 years ago. You state that the relics were       discovered in a formation that is about 50,000 years ago. That would make it       from the Pleistocene Epoch [2.       588MYA - 11.7 TYA]. That is all I was trying to state. Too many people are       trying to state that humanity began far earlier than scientific evidence shows.       As far as when did the first humans settle North America, I have read of some       evidence showing that it COULD (not accepted by science) have been as early as       100,000 years ago, based on some stone tools found in a Mexican creek bed.              Regards,        John Braungart              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
