Talk:Petralona skull

Dating
This needs clearing up.

"Poulianos (1981) estimated the age of the skull at around 210,000 years. He announced that "the date was based on analyses of the cave's stratigraphy and the accumulated sediments". Poulianos[year needed] concluded that the skull represented a previously unknown hominin genus, unrelated to Homo erectus, and even outside of Homo, introducing the genus name Archanthropus, and the trinomial Archanthropus europaeus petraloniensis for the Petralona skull itself"

Poulianos (1981) is https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10.1086/202667 and says "died 700,000 years ago" not 210,000 years.

Poulianos[year needed] is actually a further reference to Poulianos (1981). Northutsire (talk) 14:46, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
