Posted on February 14th, 2007 by Virgil L. Robertson, DC, QME, FAFICC Bio: Dr. Robertson received his Chiropractic doctorate from Southern California University of Health Sciences in 1985, and currently serves as Clinical Director at Brea Canyon Pain Relief and Rehabilitation Center in Brea, California. Dietary Differences Separate Neanderthals from Humans
By Fazale (Fuz) Rana, Ph.D. You are what you eat. Paleoanthropologists from the United Kingdom and the United States recently used this principle to study the dietary habits of Neandertals and the earliest modern humans.1 By analyzing different forms (isotopes) of carbon and nitrogen from bone collagen (fibrous protein in bones), these investigators determined the sources of protein in Neandertal and early human diets. Focusing on the Pelvis

Hobbit Walk Speaks Volumes
Posted by Fazale ‘Fuz’ Rana, Ph.D. New research confirms biological differences between H. floresiensis and modern humans Hobbits Grab Headlines, Again!
Tolkien's Hobbits are humble beings, not much for calling attention to themselves. But the scientific... Human or Hobbit?
by Fazale (Fuz) R. Rana, Ph.D. "Middle Earth" is not a real place. Humans, dwarves, elves, and hobbits never lived together. But in the fall of 2004, Australian and Indonesian paleoanthropologists stunned the archeological world when they published evidence for hobbit-sized hominids (see “Who Were the Hominids?”) that coexisted for a time with modern humans. Since their discovery, these little creatures have been at the center of a big scientific controversy. They have also prompted questions about the validity of RTB's views on human origins. Little People Cause Big Excitement
Posted by Fazale ‘Fuz’ Rana, Ph.D. Does Palau Island Discovery Challenge the Status of Homo floresiensis? New Clues to a Genesis Mystery
by Hugh Ross, Ph.D. Medical doctors say if you live long enough you'll probably get cancer. Cancer is one reason why none of us can live much beyond 120 years.1 How is it possible, then, that humans (before Noah) could have lived 900 years or more, as the Bible says? Reduced exposure to cancer risk factors may provide at least a partial answer. Science in the News: Will the Real Adam Please Stand Up?
By Hugh Ross Week by week, month by month, as various science publications cross my desk, I see article after article on new findings about early man and his origins. The italics are intended to highlight the crux of an emotionally-charged controversy: the use of the word man. The Case for Human Evolution Loses Some Teeth

By Fazale R. Rana Did man crawl his way into existence over millions of years? Or did he leap to two feet by supernatural design? Did humans emerge from amoebas or did a Creator intend for life to possess purpose, value, and meaning? Toumai Man Offers Evolutionists No Hope
By Fazale R. Rana, Ph.D. This discovery is just “the tip of [the] iceberg—one that could sink our current ideas about human evolution.”1 Science writer John Whitfield typifies the reaction of paleontologists as they learned about an astounding fossil discovery recently reported in Nature.2 Up (and Away) From the Apes
By Fazale 'Fuz' Rana, Ph.D. In response to a widely publicized change in the Kansas standards for science education,1 Time magazine published a cover story touting human evolution. The August 23 (1999) issue reports “amazing new discoveries” that add to the already “convincing” evidence of humans’ evolving from an ape-like ancestor over the last 4 to 6 million years.2 Were the Hobbits Cretins?
Posted by Fazale ‘Fuz’ Rana, Ph.D. New research raise questions about the identity of Homo floresiensis, or does it? Where does Homo antecessor fit?
by Fazale Rana, Ph.D. Who am I? How do I fit into the grand scheme of things? These questions gnaw at someone going through an identity crisis.Struggling with this type of uncertainty is unique to human experience. It's unlikely that the hominids represented in the fossil record ever contemplated their identity-but humans sure have. Questions about who the hominids were and how they fit into the human evolutionary scheme consume paleoanthropologists (scientists who study the human fossil record).
