What? No More Science-Watch Since You've Been Caught Up In The Windy Cindy/Roberts/Gaza Triangle?

Early Humans Wore 'Shoes' 30,000 Years Ago

Our modern day Nikes and Reeboks are direct descendents of the first supportive footwear that new research suggests came into use in western Eurasia between 26,000 and 30,000 years ago. Erik Trinkaus, professor of anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis, derived those dates by analyzing anatomical evidence of early modern humans, which suggests a reduction in the strength of the smaller toes in Upper Paleolithic humans while there was little change in leg strength.

Your wishes are of course my command. And yes, not one of the popular web blogs feature anything besides a constant litany of preaching to a firmly established choir, and it does remain Messenger's solemn duty to provide interesting stories that have NO political foundation. It is extraordinarily interesting that mankind wore shoes approximately 30,000 years ago, or as our European cousins would have it, 16,647 years Celsius, but we do have to wonder if "humans" includes Sheehanites, those who are against John Roberts, or the dastardly Paleswinian killers who continue their quest to destroy Israel.
