Rightmire (1984) dates the Elmenteitan crania 2500-2000 BP; this can clearly be seen on the table ("approximate dates from radiocarbon determinations") on page 194. "Caucasoid" traits like narrow nasal aperture and orthognathism are totally absent from the East African fossil record until very recent (well within recorded-history) about 2500 years ago. The simple fact is these features didn't originate there, these traits/variables first appear in the European fossil record as early as Cro-Magnon 1. [/qb][/QUOTE]Gamble's Cave also re-dated to 2500 BP by Ambrose (1980, 1982) [Rightmire also questions Protsch's 8000 BP dating]: "Gamble's Cave Layer 12 is undated but lies almost four meters above layers dated to between 8500 and 8000 BP (Ambrose, 1980). On the basis of regional evidence for the age of the overlying Elementeitan occurrence in Layer 6 (table 10), [b]layer 12 should date to between roughly 3000 and 2,500 BP.[/b]" (Ambrose, 1982) "The same reservations apply to Protsch's date of 8020 BP for the cairn burials overlying the Eburran 5A horizon at Gamble's Cave, as this date is inconsistent with conventional charcoal dates ranging from 8500 to 8000 BP on Phase 3 in this site from [i]4 meters below[/i] this horizon." (Rightmire, 1984) Gamble's Cave and Elmenteita skulls therefore date 2500 BP (c. 500 BCE). Afrocentrists don't use the correct dating, instead they quote Leakey (1935) or Protsch (1975, 1978), whose work was discredited by Ambrose and Rightmire in the 1980s. A tenet of pseudo-science is quoting outdated source, that's typically Afrocentrism for you. :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
