The US News and World Report is about 2-3 weeks behind everyone else..lol.

This however, is a fascinating find that shows Homo Erectus had previously unknown capacity. Everything we know, or think we know, is always in flux.

Things certainly are in flux. I always thought that Homo sapiens had evolved 200,000 years ago, and that by 15,000 years ago (the date given in the article) Europe was occupied by Homo sapiens and that even Homo neanderthalensis had died out.

I was actually making a reference to the Homo Erectus that traveled to Crete and other Agean islands.
