All of a sudden treasonous conservative/Republicans are damning President Biden for pulling out troops out of Afghanistan. Proving what glaring hypocrites they are since they cheered Trump when he made a deal with the Taliban to have all US troops out of Afghanistan by last May.

Stone Age axe dating back 1.3 million years unearthed in Morocco
Researchers find North Africa’s oldest Stone Age hand-axe manufacturing site, dating back 1.3 million years.


28 Jul 2021
Archaeologists in Morocco have announced the discovery of North Africa’s oldest Stone Age hand-axe manufacturing site, dating back 1.3 million years, an international team reported on Wednesday.

The find pushes back by hundreds of thousands of years the start date in North Africa of the Acheulian stone tool industry associated with a key human ancestor, Homo erectus, researchers on the team told journalists in Rabat.
It was made during excavations at a quarry on the outskirts of the country’s economic capital Casablanca.

This “major discovery … contributes to enriching the debate on the emergence of the Acheulian in Africa”, said Abderrahim Mohib, co-director of the Franco-Moroccan Prehistory of Casablanca programme.

Before the find, the presence in Morocco of the Acheulian stone tool industry was thought to date back 700,000 years.

New finds at the Thomas Quarry I site, first made famous in 1969 when a human half mandible was discovered in a cave, mean the Acheulian there is almost twice as old.

The 17-strong team behind the discovery comprised Moroccan, French and Italian researchers, and their finding is based on the study of stone tools extracted from the site.

Moroccan archaeologist Abdelouahed Ben Ncer called the news a “chronological rebound”.

He said the beginning of the Acheulian in Morocco is now close to the South and East African start dates of 1.6 million and 1.8 million years ago respectively.

Earlier humans had made do with more primitive pebble tools, known as Oldowan after their East African type site.

‘Richest Acheulian assemblages’
Research at the Casablanca site has been carried out for decades, and has “delivered one of the richest Acheulian assemblages in Africa”, Mohib said.

“It is very important because we are talking about prehistoric time, a complex period for which little data exists.”

Mohib said the study also made it possible to attest to “the oldest presence in Morocco of humans” who were “variants of Homo erectus”.

In 2017, the discovery of five fossils at Jebel Irhoud in Morocco, estimated at 300,000 years old, overturned evolutionary science when they were designated Homo sapiens.

The Moroccan fossils were much older than some with similar facial characteristics excavated from Omo Kibish in Ethiopia, dating back about 195,000 years.

Thanks stumbles, I was reading about this earlier on ABC’s site: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07...on-year-old-stone-age-axe-discovery/100332946
Fascinating.

The death toll from wildfires raging in Turkey has risen to six after two forest workers were killed, the country’s health minister said.

Fires raging across southern Turkey since Wednesday have burned down forests and some settlements, encroaching on villages and tourist destinations and forcing thousands of people to evacuate.

A new blaze erupted on Saturday in the popular holiday resort of Bodrum on the Aegean coast and some residential areas and hotels were evacuated, according to broadcasters.

Wildfires are common in southern Turkey in the summer but authorities say the latest blazes have covered a much bigger area.



Minister of Health Fahrettin Koca said 400 people affected by the fires in Manavgat were treated at hospitals and released, while 10 others were still hospitalised. In Marmaris, 159 people were treated at the hospital and one person was still undergoing treatment for burns.

Most of the fires are now under control but blazes continued in the southern coastal provinces of Antalya and Mersin, the western coastal province of Mugla, and the central province of Usak.

Turkish meteorological authorities said forecasts pointed to heatwaves along the Aegean and Mediterranean coastal regions. Temperatures are forecast to reach 43 to 47 Celsius (109.4 – 116.6 F) in Antalya next week.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a visit to Manavgat on Saturday, saying all damaged houses would be rebuilt and losses compensated, adding that Azerbaijan, Russia, Ukraine and Iran had sent firefighting planes and support teams to the affected areas.

Remember in the 70's, we were all going to be buried under hundreds of feet of ice, and there was going to be a new ice age by 2000?

Remember all the forest fires going on then, not just in the US but in the world?
NO?
Of course not. They weren't on media's radar cause it didn't fit the agenda of the minute.

Remember the arctic ice moving farther south than it has for years?
NO?
Of course not. Doesn't fit the agenda.

 

I've never seen somebody so brainwashed in my life, practically programed for liberal compliance

 

Well, but we're pretty sure stumbler is paid to post this stuff.
It's the only explanation that fits the behavior.

 

It's beyond a forum joke, i thought big pink Q's were bad, sad what he's become, and he doesn't even care how he appears

 

Pot, meet kettle.

The irony, it burns.

 

Irony? Fuck that.
Most members on this forum make some effort to engage in conversation and make their position clear.
They're willing to post their source and back it up.
Most members are sane.

Stumbler blew out any hint of credibility years ago.
His passion, and his only focus are the destruction of all things conservative/deplorable/trump.
And he gives not a gnat fart how he gets it done.
He lies, he cheats, and he propagandizes. Whatever it takes.
For you to even hint that stumbler is somehow comparable to shy guy or whoever you were inferring is disingenuous and a goddam lie.

 

Oh?
Share with us, these posts of shy guy that are rabid responses to women.

 

Ah. Shooter gets it now.
This is the despicable play of calling others names, and then triggering when the favor is returned.
Well, subby, best advice Shooter can give you is to not associate with name callers, even if they do support your agenda, or expect some blow back every now and then.

 

That's where she started,... her burning irony, "is … uncontrolled"... "There’s a definite problem there."...at least.... "Stumbler is consistent"...

like I said, ...." I can bring it back to the female and show cause", every time
