While I'm sure you didn't mean it quite this way, your "a few" remark could be read by the ignorant or uninformed as chiming with the creationist canard that the ancestral human fossil finds are, in the aggregate, just a few. And we do keep finding more and better (more complete and well-preserved) samples, and we seem to be getting better and better at knowing where to look for them - one of the interesting side-points in this story is that this particular former cave system was first pinpointed by study of satellite imagery.Īnd even when the fossils are fragmented, poorly-preserved, crushed and distorted, etc., we are getting better and better at extracting valuable information, nonetheless, through scans that take advantage of advances in medical imaging technology and 3-D modeling, through bone growth and dental laminations, etc. Well, the more fossils, the better, obviously.
