...Crimson regrets printing several errors of fact in a December 16 article about Alexander Marshack's research into the origins of human communications. Cro-Magnon man is a member of Homo sapiens sapiens, and not a different species. The Upper Paleolithic era dates from 35,000 to 10,000 B.C., and not from 10,000 to 8000 B.C. as reported. The Achevlian rib engravings are not exactly the same kind as those done in the Upper Paleolithic, but are made in the same way over a period of time...
Alexander Marshack, through studies of engravings in bone by Cro-Magnon man of 8-10,000 B.C., has published his findings in a book. The Roots of Civilization, and in a report in the November 24 issue of Science magazine...
...Magnon man was using ceremonial, ritual sacrificial and sexual images in engravings," he said yesterday...
...scientist noted that prehistorians and archaeologists had previously placed the advent of communication with the Homo sapiens sapiens, which followed Cro-Magnon in evolution...
Molecular biology, in part, is rooted in the science of genetics. Ever since Cro-Magnon man, parents have probably wondered why their children resemble them. But not until an obscure Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel began planting peas in his monastery's garden in the mid-19th century were the universal laws of heredity worked out. By tallying up the variations in the offspring peas, Mendel determined that traits are passed from generation to generation with mathematical precision in small, separate packets, which subsequently became known as genes (from the Greek word for race...
