Ancient Greek skull rewrites human evolutionary timeline | The Jerusalem Post

Setting aside for a moment that this article was at least partially written by AI and its sourcing is a little hard to track down, the notion that a skull was found in Greece that doesn't (appear to) conform with what we know about early humans and their migratory patterns, is interesting. 

And finding a skull of a humanoid that old is always intriguing. 

But some things I noticed while researching the article sources: 1. scientists are apparently a little split on what humanoid this skull descends from and how it got into this cave. So there may be more to this story than we are seeing here. 2. People called out the misleading nature of the headline and the story supporting it. And 3. People in The US, unlike other places that simply want to know more, also reacted to finding a skull from a humanoid that is many tens of thousands of years old because "there is no such thing as evolution," "the earth is only 3,000 years old so the method to date it must be wrong," and "god created man. Full stop"

Why can't we simply accept some science and seek to understand more?!
