Once again, a bunch of images that were good but JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.



I think this solid gold toilet was in Hong Kong. Yeah, they used to say the streets of America were paved with gold, but it wasn't true; and now, other countries have better things than streets paved with gold...



This seal was blocking the entrance to a shop. A good image, but I didn't write down where the shop was!



Just some funny turtles.



This beast is called a "takin". It lives in China.



This was a bison emergency but I don't know if it was part of the same emergency that produced the dead Mongolian bull.



Nanjing man, 500,000 years old, brought into question the idea that humans evolved mostly in Africa.

re: Nanjing man

Is that the oldest bone sample, or are there ones in and around Mesopotamia/Persia that are older?

Oldest sample: I don't know!

Running out of material: naw, these are the rejected images. These I save, and then look at every day for a month, and finally say "Yeah, it's just not good enough..."

<p>Australopithecus anamensis (Lucy) was somewhere between 4.1 to 3.9 million years old. Lucy is one of the oldest known hominids to have walked upright, and she was found in Kenya.
<p>This skull is supposed to be evidence for the "multi-regional" theory of human evolution. Homo erectus evolved in Africa and supposedly migrated outward into the world around 1.5 million years ago. But there are 2 competing theories on how exactly Homo sapiens evolved from Homo erectus.
<p>One theory, "The Replacement Theory", says that Homo sapiens evolved in Africa and migrated to other regions around 400,000-125,000 years ago, replacing the less efficient Homo erectus that had migrated.
<p>Another theory, "The Multi-Regional Theory", says that Homo sapiens evolved from Homo erectus, but seperately in many different regions around the world.

Which is normally a sign of spam to come.

Or someone that's interested enough to read the stirling repartee in archives.
