An article in Minerva Magazine places the origins of village life and sea travel far earlier than was thought, with Homo erectus settlements in Africa going back as far as 200,000 to 400,000 years before present showing evidence of both.

Minerva article on the theories of German archaeologist Helmet Zeigert. Not known as a gadfly or fringe researcher, some comments from Zeigert's peers compare his findings to discovering "life on Mars", others caution that the analysis is a misinterpretation of legitimate finds. For more, see the original article in Minervia Magazine. For the reaction, see this blog with a handy time line and the Times On Line European news section.

Note: Audacious theory gives Homo Erectus pride of place as inventor of sedentary life style.

This reads like a theory one would read in those crazy magazines I love so much, but this has at least a bit of legitimacy, coming as it has from a respected sourse.

About the only the only thing that remains from that time period are fossil bones and stones. I suspect if we could have all of the material that existed from that time, we would be very, very surprised as to what these people were capable of.

concentrating in archaeology, diversified in both biological and cultural anthropology. linguistics seems to be my next area of study however medical anthropology is becoming a 5th discipline.
