The world has changed, but the love of family doesn't appear to be any different now than it was thousands of years ago. The photo is very touching. Families can be together forever!

A effects of man made global warming. The Sahara. If man had never entered it would still be a green paradise.

you're wrong about that. The planet earth isn't a stable place. Earth is at a constant changing place with or without humans. Sure humans have done are currently responsible for tends now. But in reality about your comment - the Sahara has been sand for a long time now - granted there's more of it because of human intervention.

jfs: Someday fly across America. I've observed the same flying over the UK and Europe. You see very little earth not altered by human activities.

I've followed a plume of industrial smoke a few hundred miles across Mexico. We can track pollution from China.

How can you live in Utah, seeing the inversion layer and deny humans have a massive influence on earth.

The data suggests all the extinction of North American mega fauna was human caused. I'm sure you read last week that the extinction of Australian mega fauna was caused be man.

We are all entitled to our opinion. I've sen a decline in the quality of my life associated with increased population. The Utah I grew up in was crime free. As a boy, I could hike for miles. My parents never worried about me being gone all day exploring. I grew up in Kearns.

What environmentalist expound, I've actually observed to be true. This I can't say about the time I wasted listening to Limbaugh.

If only they would have changed their light bulbs.....

Huh, when the Earth warms up the Sahara actually gets wetter. It's when ice ages happen that things get the driest. Earth is warming because we're on that part of the cycle.

"The planet earth isn't a stable place. Earth is at a constant changing place with or without humans. Sure humans have done are currently responsible for tends now." The only true part of this quote is "Earth is at a constant changing place with or without humans". Their is no irrefutable evidence mankind is driving global warming.

Or did climate change kill all the mega fauna, and allow man to expand his range. Will never know.

To Al Gore...

Sorry, I don't live in an energy friendly house...LOL!!

interested in knowing how the woman and her two children died. If they were reaching out to each other, were they positioned that way, or were they victims of a natural disaster and were buried alive?

In response to I'm, this photo most definitely does not look like a burial, but more like these people were overcome by some disastor. The presence of pollen does absolutely nothing to indicate their graves were decorated with flowers. If these scientists are saying it is, then it is another fine example of them jumping to conclusions based upon incomplete or misinterpretted data.
Where can we find photos of other remains? Are they scattered in random poses as well? Or are they neatly buried?

So does that mean the Sahara will one day be lush again if so surf city here i come.

RE to BEN:
They wouldn't have called it anything else unless there were FACTS to support it. Obviously the three bodies were discovered among other graves. Didn't you read the article?

The religious fanatics that continually comment about science jumping to conclusions is so sad. Learn a little more about the scientific process before you comment. In science (unlike religion) You can't move FW without facts to support your ideas.
