Take a look at my little brother's 6th grade history book. Really? Your brother's book?
You have way too much time on your hands. Well some of these ape men look familiar.
Long lost relatives of yours? No, I'm just kidding. But no, it's because they're in our book as well. Oh, well in our book they say
Australopithecus afarensis evolved 3 .8 to 3 million years ago. But in the 6th grade book
Australopithecus evolved 4 to 5 million years ago. Uh huh, now look at this.
This is an old 1951 Life magazine publication. According to this,
Australopithecus lived 1 million to 500 thousand years ago. Wow, that's different by a few million years.
These dates are all over the place. Yeah, well it gets worse. So this is our biology, the
Holt Biology book, and it shows Homo habilis as living 1 .6
to 1 .9 million years ago. But in the 6th grade one, it's 2 .4
million years ago. So which one's true? I guess it depends on which class you're in.
So what I'm wondering is if any of these dates are correct. It looks like today's truth is just tomorrow's fiction.
