Continuing from Part 8 which was titled Evidence for a Homo erectus campsite depiction in 3D

Many of the studies made of the 320,000–412,000-year old bone engravings from Bilzingsleben in central Germany which were done for the XV UISPP Congress in Lisbon 2006 had inadvertently developed into poster-sized studies.

Unfortunately, as it turns out even now, large and complicated studies don’t reproduce well in something like the PCN newsletter either even though the reader does have the option when viewing on a computer to enlarge them. So, the studies offered here (Figs. 1-3) are enlarged as best they could be to fit into these few pages.

Please note that explanations, clarifications, disclaimers, etc., of all the details could go on and on (as with many similar systematically-produced studies) but when dealing with a community which is blinkered by Darwinism the author believes that it doesn’t matter what evidence is presented or how many details are clarified, adherents to evolutionary thinking including evolution by natural selection and its accompanying evolution of cognition would rather continue believing in the paradigm than to conceive of the possibility that a deception so massive could have been held up as science for 150 years. The main hope here is that the reader—technical specialist or otherwise—will look past the temptation to seek out errors of minutiae

“Whatever the explanation for these artifacts their engravings undoubtedly reflect profound artistic and technical skill.“

Once resistance to the use of straight edge by Homo erectus is broken down (and there are many other Paleolithic artifacts besides those from Bilzingsleben suggesting its use), scientists and laypersons alike will be able to realize that the whole idea of Homo erectus people as anything less than our equals needs to be dropped entirely. If we truly wish to understand our ancestors we must give them credit for the many things they accomplished even if it means starting our theorizing about them all over again from scratch. This time in archaeology we will actually look at the evidence objectively rather than approach the evidence with preconceptions of ape-people and trying to find ways to make every piece of evidence fit that preconception. The only alternative—which is what the anthropology community chose to do with this particular evidence—is to block it. By now, everyone should know that behavior like that in science is proof of a weak scientific paradigm.
