Isn't it fascinating just what modern scientific breakthroughs can tell us about our long dead ancestors?

(AOG is desperately hoping that they find an earlier man that is white)!!

[Mamyalynne]

AOG then he'll lose that claim to fame.

I remember reading an article (there may have been a TV tie-in) where they found a direct descent of Cheddar Man still living in the village.....

I, too, shall be watching the TV documentary with great interest.

[jackthehat]

Bah! Descendant....

[-Talbot-]

Nothing extraordinary about this is at all.
I thought it was common knowledge.

[Islay]

It will be interesting - will have to record it though.
It will be the 2nd intresting docu watched this week as I watched a good one yesterday on Child killers.

Noting your uncalled nastiness and rudeness towards me, you couldn't be the Mod that removed one of my recent posts, could you?

[Tilly2]

He's a good looking chap. Lovely eyes.

[Mamyalynne]

Nastiness and rudeness?

Aren't we discussing documentaries based on new and interesting techniques?

I am not a Moderator, for the umpteenth time.

Talbot - I mean the advances in DNA technology which means that the scientists can be almost certain of eye colour and curliness of hair, etc. as well as everything else.

What ever floats your boat, as the saying goes.

AOG - Could you stop bringing your petty petulance into a perfectly civil thread?
Thankyou.

[-Talbot-]

Which thread is Mamya being nasty on AOG? give me a link.

[-Talbot-]

My mate whom I work here with is convinced they will bring back a dinosaur using DNA.

[Mamyalynne]

Maybe a 3D print one.

[weecalf]

Next thing they will be sending man to the moon

[Cloverjo]

Talbot, what kind of animal does your colleague think will be used to give birth to a dinosaur?

[Islay]

Actually it was very useful AOG to my degree course actually.

[-Talbot-]

There's still what are basically dinosaurs living in the ocean, Jo ... so maybe those with some DNA of a erm ... oldendays dinosaur?

There is believed that we will be growing our meat in dishes eventually, so maybe it can be done.

looking forward to this, been to cheddar caves many times. The docu on the mammoth that was found (in siberia i think) that was nearly perfectly preservedd, was really interesting.
