Talk:Lower Paleolithic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Who do I need to talk to about having a disclaimer to this article?

This article pre-supposes the validity of an "evolutionary" timetable with dating methods that are in doubt.

Evolution is an unproven conjecture so having timelines should have a disclaimer. Neutrality of article is suspect in my opinion.

This piece is annoying: Such an association should not imply that they necessarily evolved in Europe.

afaik there is hardly any indication such could even remotely be the case, you may as well see advanced homo erecti as what they are, advanced pre ice age or so. I actually see collateral evidence for the close connection between all succesive species of homo erectus.

[edit] Evolution

Yeah, someone from that era might decide to sue you...

[edit] 1,000,000 BC article should be merged here

I feel that 1,000,000 BC should be merged here. We can't have information about the exact year of 1,000,000 BC, so the info should be worked into here. This article has the potential to be a lot more encompassing. --Czj 19:41, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Refs...H. hungary....3 million years...modified stones

As one who is a very fairly well versed non specialist of paleoanthropology, I'm curious about some of the non-cited references here:

What/which Homo species are older than 3 million years? I've never heard of anything beyond 2.5 or 2.6 million years being attributed to Homo (the dawn of stone tool making). In this case, the species would be H. habilis.

I think this article should specify and be clear that stone tool industries refer to modified stone tools. Stone tool use exists among many several species, esp. the great apes; the difference with the beginning of the paleolithic is the beggining of specially crafted stone tools. The article may be too vague to the novice reader to fully grasp this fact.

Finally, of all the references to early human species, what or who the heck is H. paleohungaricus?!? I've never heard of him, and even if he has some support, this particular species is not at all regarded seperately by the overall establishment.Neanderskull 20:12, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
