Evidence shows that ancient ancestor cut meat

"It's never been shown before that Lucy used stone tools, and it's never been shown before that Lucy ate meat," said Shannon McPherron, an archaeologist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, who discovered the new fossils. "We've moved back these critical behaviors.

McPherron discovered a petrified Salisbury steak in the parking lot of Desilu Studios. The marks on it appear to be made by a primitive stone tool. Some scientists dispute this, saying they are grill, not tool marks. Shannon stands by the discovery. The steak will be submitted to carbon dating to determine which season the steak is from.

One of the earliest milestones in archeology was the discovery of Lucy's teeth.

"They are all intact, " McPherron said, "most early ancestors lose a few in fights with saber toothed tigers. Her's are all there and 100% porcelain - made of clay. Apparently through millions of years of evolution after Lucy, the composition of homo sapiens sapiens teeth gradually changed from porcelain to calcium, phosphorus, and other mineral salts."

A Capella











Civilization without instrumentalities? That would be the Four Preps. They wrote the immortal Santa Catalina:
Twenty- six miles across the sea
Santa catalina is a-waitin' for me
Santa catalina, the island of romance, romance, romance, romance
Water all around it everywhereTropical trees and the salty air
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there-romance

The Four Preps also appeared in Gidget and one of them wrote Cobb wrote the song "Tainted Love" for Gloria Jones, which became a worldwide hit for Soft Cell in 1982. (Source: Wikipedia).
