In his book 'Forbidden Archaeology',Michael Cremo predicted that these types of discoveries were there to be made.He also predicts that there will be far more that will change our understanding of our shared ancestry.

there will be more to come, usually they discover some fossilised richards near to where they found the skulls.
these ascertain the diet of the people, so we will know if they are chinese if they show scientific traces of numbers 8, 13, 24 with a side order of 6 with just a hint of set meal for 4.

Would that be all over the floor because no one could use chop sticks then.

this chinese theory does put a new slant on things.

I just do not want to be Shanghi'd into this theory though,because I bet there is another one just Peking around the corner.

Michael Cremo? Oh no - I saw him talk once. He was actually trying to convince the audience that a fossil 'footprint' he showed from the Cambrian era was of a human. He was unable to explain how a human could have breathed or what he could eat, unless a permanent jellyfish and prawn diet takes your fancy.
He even tried to convince us that the government censors archaeological finds that are out-of-place so we do not question the accepted order of things. Oddly when I was employed as an archaeologist for years in the 90s not once do I recall a shadowy USAF Colonel in dark glasses rooting around our finds tray. "You did not see this sherd of pot." Yep, right.
To me the man is as bad as Graham Hancock or Erik von Daniken, they do a great disservice to science whilst raking in the cash. At least Daniken later had the decency to admit that he made most of it up whilst lounging on his yacht.
Anyway, back on topic. These fossils are incredibly recent - how amazing to think they could have been the last descendants of an early out-of-Africa migration and co-existing with modern humans.
By the way, no-one is stating that we came from China from these discoveries. They are not proposed as directly ancestral to modern humans, just another twig on the branch with a very deep root.

I just love those conspiracy theories though Phil,I think Cremo has never been truthful about his agenda.As you say though what is amazing is the idea that the two species existed together,legend and reality merging.
