Unfortunately, it hasn't shaken up anyone. When the science community ignores a find like this, you can be certain that it's for good reason.Slats wrote: Wed Aug 15, 2018 1:50 pm Thanks for the links guys I am keen to read any papers that will be published about the discovery it will undoubtedly shake up the scientific community.
Cheers

"Science" although the basis for most facts can be very stubborn at new findings or approaching subjects that peers may frown upon.inthedark wrote: Thu Aug 16, 2018 1:36 pm Unfortunately, it hasn't shaken up anyone.

if these were genuinely an unknown branch of the 'human' family, the entire world would know about it by now.
I'm not sure why they would be, other than in cases where there is likely nothing to be gained by pursuit, and plenty to lose (like a career!). In a case like this one, just about ANY scientist would be very very keen to pursue it, if there was actually anything of interest in the find. That none have, tells us that there is little (to nil) chance it's what the guy thinks it is.Dion wrote: Thu Aug 16, 2018 1:52 pm"Science" although the basis for most facts can be very stubborn at new findings or approaching subjects that peers may frown upon.inthedark wrote: Thu Aug 16, 2018 1:36 pm Unfortunately, it hasn't shaken up anyone.

Absolutely agree with your first sentence wholeheartedly, I think you will find most respected scientists wont touch this subject with a poking stick. Mainly because the unknown/non tangible freaks most scientific based organisations out. If you have a family and or a steady job, who is going to put that at risk to pursue a risky assault on being the first to discover a relic hominid or something which isn't that at all, but more dare I say..... abnormal paranormal or better put spiritual.inthedark wrote: Thu Aug 16, 2018 2:20 pm I'm not sure why they would be, other than in cases where there is likely nothing to be gained by pursuit, and plenty to lose (like a career!).....
Yes make perfect sense.inthedark wrote: Thu Aug 16, 2018 2:20 pm I feel we need to be realistic about this stuff. Bonafide new discoveries don't make the light of day and get ignored by science. They just don't....... I say this with respect, and an interest in keeping this field 'clean'. Hope that makes sense.
It's not the potential for it to be something unknown, really. The unknown is exactly what science tries to 'know', after all! The problem is that there is nothing to indicate that it is something unknown. And there really isn't anything like 'fear of the unknown' involved, but I suspect we elect to believe that, as a means of avoiding the confronting reality that we might be slightly delusionalDion wrote: Thu Aug 16, 2018 2:41 pm ]

. We'd prefer to think THEY are the crazy ones, which shows how desperate we can be to deny the lack of evidence for the some of the things we choose to believe.
