Interesting that a new discovery has shown that perhaps Africa wasn't the cradle of humanity after all. The missing link may have come from Southern Europe The birthplace of modern man may have been the eastern Mediterranean, rather than Africa, according to scientists studying newly discovered ancient fossils of a tooth and lower jawbone. The remnants, found in Bulgaria and Greece, belonged to an ape-like creature, Graecopithecus freybergi - believed to be the oldest known pre-human, dating back as far as 7.2 million years.

Quite a heavy snow show here. Nice to see

Wow you've had no snow this year? Altitude I expect

Yep. Cold rain I would have thought. However the more North the better chance
