+1 Vonskippy. What he says is 100% true. Archaeology and Paleontology are weak sciences in that a true test of a theory can never be done without a time machine. All evidence is ultimately speculative.
Physics and Chemistry are strong sciences since theories can be tested and create positive proof... like exploding all over the lab.
As to this whatever-it-is, it could have been eaten (as V said), fallen over on it in death, or something else.
There used to be a concept in science which said that the simplest answer is general the correct one. People are forgetting that.
Why can't Bert and Ernie just show that two people can be best friends? Why does sex have to be included in everything? People are twisted when they have to ruin something as pure as friendship.
Teach kids that having friends is good and that they do not need to have sex with a person in order to be their best friend.
1) people have tried to "rehabilitate" for a hundred years and crime and recidivism have only gotten worse.
2) Nice anti-US statement there, Alex. Why pick on just us when 90% of the worlds prisons are as bad or worse?
3) Prisons are nasty primarily due to who is in there in the first place. Putting a bunch of psychopaths and sociopaths together in a small, confined space isn't exactly conducive to a harmonic environment.
4) Want a child molester living next to you or in prison? If I steal your car, do you want me in jail, or counseled to find out why I choose to steal? 5) "Barbaric" is a null word and used only by those that want to denigrate a concept that they don't agree with. It is just as accurate to say that it is barbaric to allow violent sociopaths free reign in society.
6) There are BAD people in this world, grasshoppers. Very, very nasty people that would as soon kill you as look at you. It ain't poverty that drives them to this. It ain't some sort of social inequality. They just get off on hurting people and causing chaos.
7) I agree that prison sentences aren't much of a deterrent for the sort I describe above. They go in, get fat and happy while learning new anti-social skills in prison, and come out do to it all again. Perhaps flogging here might stem the tide of recidivism. (At least for the non-masochist types.)
8) Trying to force reality into being something that "feels good" and "feels right" never, ever works out. Cold logic with lots of testing and unbiased data correlation is what is needed. Unfortunately, there are no scientists looking into this issue since people only want solutions that make them feel good.
9) I am positive that this post will generate a number of flames and not a few four-letter words. Watch me as I don't care. Flame away instead of opening up your minds to new ideas and being judgmental about people.

Not all cultures mind being packed close together. Most have very small "personal spaces" (the distance that a person can stand near you before you feel uncomfortable.)
We Americans have the largest personal space. We like lots of elbow room.
Unimpressive. No balance, no autonomy, no news. Should have waited to post this until the dude figured out the visual recognition so that the robot had autonomy.

1) Never watch a Star Wars movie.
2) ...
3) Profit.
