This one caught our eye the other day.
A 16,500-year-old cemetery with human remains — buried alongside those of a red fox — suggests humans may have had a soft spot for the animals well before dogs became man’s best friend.
The site at ‘Uyun al-Hammam in northern Jordan is the earliest known formal burial ground in the Middle East, pre-dating other cemeteries in the region by a few millennia, scientists from Canada and the UK report in a new study published in PLoS ONE.
“This may be the earliest known cemetery period,” Edward Banning, an anthropologist at the University of Toronto who is leading the excavations, told me today. “It probably depends on what you mean by cemetery.”
Cool stuff, but in short order the ghost hunter geek in us rises to the surface and asks, “Could we try an EVP to hear they language these people spoke?”
Is that a silly question?
Thanks for any other informative web site.
Where else may I am getting that type of information written in such a perfect manner?

been at the glance out for such information.
