Mar 21, 2011 - @cowwaw0 you are right i think its the remains of the sum japs from WW2

taksmaster23 Says:

Mar 22, 2011 - @khalid6591 This is possible, but perhaps unlikely. The average height of Japanese troops born in the mid-nineteenth century was 1.65 meters. The average height of modern Japanese adult males is 1.715 meters. Through a rough interpolation, we can assume that Japanese troops in WW2 fall somewhere in between. However, the Palauan cave remains were around 1.5 meters tall. Keep in mind that some of these estimates were made by two different archeology teams and based on incomplete remains.

Jun 27, 2011 - @taksmaster23 my sister was trying to speak palauan

taksmaster23 Says:

Jun 28, 2011 - @peppicola98 Thanks. I understand the Palauan part. The rest seems rather incoherent, which is what I meant in saying I don't understand.

Oct 30, 2011 - What they just digged-up were the grave yards of the pygmies, these creatures were as human as we are, only they were short in height, plenty of them still exist and living in nearby PNG and Indonesia. These findings proved none. NatGeo should stop claiming about hundreds of years of evolution, what a scambugs..

Jan 17, 2012 - Saw the movie at Science magazine in Swedish television and was very interested in this discovery. Does it even on my channel as a favorite. If all the facts will be, we write about each school textbooks. This discovery may challenge the Darwinian theory of evolution.

Odysses100 Says:

Jan 17, 2012 - Wonder if it has already published research results on which talk about the film.? Does anyone know the results?

Jan 28, 2012 - @Odysses100 not real

usterdboy Says:

Jan 28, 2012 - @Odysses100 key word "theory"

taksmaster23 Says:

Jan 29, 2012 - @usterdboy I believe you're correct. If I remember correctly, the scientist who conducted this study jumped to conclusions prematurely and was subsequently criticized for it. As it turned out, these bones were regular human remains. Calcium deposits are what caused the bones to appear abnormal.

usterdboy Says:

Jan 29, 2012 - @taksmaster23 thats the problem when you have a group of people that just want to disprove something.

Odysses100 Says:

Jan 29, 2012 - @usterdboy Thanks for your little Commented to my post dealing with the unusual run-up in Palau. Wonder if you over any of the research results? This prelude may modify Darwinian theory of the origins of life.
