Talk:Pierolapithecus

Single-origin hypothesis
I removed the reference to the single-origin hypothesis from the Pierolaptihecus catalunicus article because the single-origin hypothesis refers to the idea that anatomically modern humans (homo sapiens) evolved from other species of homo in Africa rather than in Europe and/or Asia. It doesn't have anything to do with where the common ancestor of the gorilla and the chimp/human lines of great apes may have lived. Rusty Cashman 20:41, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

13 million years ago
wouldn't it be a little better if the article said the the thing was believed to live 13 million years ago instead of it lived 13 million years ago? Carbon dating does fail sometimes doesn't it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.222.38.8 (talk) 16:32, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Carbon dating would certainly fail if used to date a fossil of this age, given that carbon dating is only effective to about 60,000 years. Fortunately, carbon dating wasn't used, so it's not a concern.  --BRPierce (talk) 14:26, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
