I am cursed with the ability to see both sides of an argument. Interests in maths, science, art and nature. Not necessarily in that order.

what's the x-axis on the plot?

I always wondered what the point of them roaring at their prey was, as shown in the recent series of Walking With Dinosaurs. Did they hope to convince their prey to give up without a fight? Or an artistic choice made by the director?

Also this is not a new result. Chris Stringer write about it in 2017.

My comments from 2015 on dates for early Australian occupation at Madjedbebe 2 of >60,000 years

Finally someone is prepared to critically analyse the "65,000 years of occupation" narrative beloved of activists and politicians. Taking into account the time it takes to get to Australia it is probably more like 45,000 years ago. Consistent with the Mungo Man evidence.

And you are making assumptions about what a non male-centred society would look like based on our current one.

Devils (and Thylacines aka Tasmanian Tigers) went extinct on the Australian mainland with the introduction of the Dingo ~3.5ka BP. They only survived in Tasmania because the land bridge to the mainland disappeared about 10ka BP, so Dingoes never reached there.

It is also possible these women were only valued for their fertility and child rearing activities, and nothing more. It doesn't mean they had more agency, power or were treated better by their husbands.

Can you update this with recent discoveries from DNA that push their arrival till 45k or later? Interesting as Mungo Man fits in that range. Claims that Aboriginal people weren't responsible for megafauna extinctions is partly based on the claim they didn't happen till 20k years after their arrival.

I see he had a pink triangle so I presume he was homosexual. Were homosexuals released if they could convince camp authorities they had been "cured"?

Leon was an American citizen by birth. Was he Jewish? Why had to traveled to live in Europe? He survived in Auschwitz for 6 months, how did he do that? Did they release him, well before liberation, because he was an American? Did he go back to the USA straight away, or later?

I would say the real Gulf of America is the difference between what Trump promised and what will be delivered.

Thanks, there is an excellent Wikipedia article on Choquet-Bruhat which also states, in precise mathematical terms, her proof of the theorems on uniqueness of solutions in vacuum GR.
