Yes, but I wish I'd put the $$$ into coins...
1. When people talk about "modern man," do the men animals with the same skeleton as we have today?
2. What is the oldest fossil record of modern man?
3. What is the oldest records of man like tribes (cavemen) living, working, hunting, gathering and using tools?

Back in the 60's we were always drunk.

Drunk?
Hey Stone - good luck.

Ah yes!! Get drunk, smoke cigarettes, and chase women.
I don't smoke anymore, pretty much don't drink anymore,
and I'm a lot slower at chasing women, or they've gotten
faster.

We didn't need finals to get drunk, but it was still illegal until 1974 for me.

hehe, you know it.
I'm doing Psych and Soc -- all the classes now have a lot of reading.
P.S. wanna loan an SBS major some cash so I can do the same?
I went there looking for specific items, they didn't have what I was looking for.
I start flipping through other coins in the same box, and come across this Three Cent Nickel.
I'm like: "It's nice, nothing really special, but it's nice."
I flip it over, and my eye immediately catches sight of something unusual on the rim.
I think to myself: "That can't be a partial clip(?), can it? It has what I think is called the Blakesly(?) effect"; it shows strongest on the reverse at 11 o'clock
Anyway, here are some pics for you of what I bought, now you be the judge whether its a "clip" or not.
Plus a close-up of the date, just for fun.
<< <i>So while we wait for the photos of the new coins... Maybe you could help me out with a couple of anthropology related questions.
1. When people talk about "modern man," do they mean animals with the same skeleton as we have today?
2. What is the oldest fossil record of modern man?
3. What is the oldest records of man like tribes (cavemen) living, working, hunting, gathering and using tools? >>
1) As far as I know, "modern man" refers to the same anatomical structure from thousands of years ago till the present. "Modern Man" has gone through variations in size (i.e. height, and most notably during the implementation of agriculture), but the skeletal structure has not been altered (significantly) since then.
2) The oldest fossil record of "modern man" is from about 70,000 years ago in southern Africa (as far as I know).
This age, though, is not set in stone, nor is the location where "modern man" has been found (Africa).
Paleoanthropologists (people who study the evolution of hominids) are always finding new skeletons which re-write the books, and this study is really in its infancy.
3) Technically, "caveman" is a very generic term, and can refer back as far as approximately 7 million years ago with the earlies known evidence of hominid motion in primates at a site in Chad. Hominids have used tools as far back as 5-7 million years ago, but those were just basic stone hammers with little technilogical innovation until about 1.5 million years ago where they started to become diverse. Only until the last 250,000-500,000 years ago has tool use really become diverse, and tools keep becoming innovated for our needs every year.
I realize a proof seated quarter error is a rare thing, but if was enough of a clip for PCGS, yours should be too.
There might be a pic of it in their archives... Nice coin ya got today.

Great information. Now I when somebody at lunch squeaks about a bug in their salad I can say, "bhah! Eat up. That bug doesn't stand a chance against your immune system's 7 million years of genetic evolution."
Nice summary. Thank you!
