These archaeologist types claim that a fossil of a dead octopus proves that they lived long before the dinosaurs and outlived them. Is this because they are more clever or just plain lucky or where the dinosaurs just unlucky. I guess man hunted dinosaurs with spears before they conquered the seas |

Tom, I dont think evolution works the way you think it does. It's not a linear progression of life choices but a spread of diversity and genetic dead ends.
You have to bear in mind that life started in the oceans billion years before it came on to land. Fun fact,sharks are actually older than trees. |

Another fun fact, people don’t realise how long dinosaurs were around
On a time line the T-Rex is closer to the iPad then it is to the stegosaurus |

Ah, if it were not for that very eventful day when the asteroid came to visit, it is very unlikely that we would be here to disscus this.
Mammals very likely would never have risen from out of the shadow of the ashes of the dinosaurs and this planet would be ruled in some form or another by the evolution of reptiles, fish, and birds.
Would any of them have evolved along a similar path as humans did? |

Man hunted dinosaurs with spears? Seriously? Where did you read that? |

... I’m not sure history evolved the way he thinks either. Really not convinced that man hunted t-Rex with a spear. |

Another interesting fact.. crabs have apparently evolved to their current form 5 times (that we know of) in history. |

If animals were successful in their niche habitats, then they would have potential to continue to thrive, if their mutations were successfully adaptive to the changing environment around them and potentially not less than competitors.
Octopuses are amazing creatures and fairly intelligent. It's great that soft tissues were preserved well enough to fossilise, which is a luxury that wasn't afforded to much of such life. I guess this allows us to see how long ago we diverged away from common ancestors. I hope that we don't drive many of their species to extinction though. |

"Man hunted dinosaur's?
Next you'll be telling us The Flintstones was a fly on the wall documentary. "
This actually made me laugh out loud ty
Mind you the quote "man hunted dinosaurs" made me smile alot  |

They have found spier warheads in wooly mammoth remains in the Tundra. More knowledge is gained with each find. I saw a photo of the alleged octupus fossil. It is said to show an ink sac. It looked like a fossil of some old sea to me. I reckon early humans enjoyed calamari just like we do |

First of all, spears dont have warheads, warheads are explosive devices. I assume you meant spearhead.
Yes, humans hunted mammoths and were most likely driving force towards their extinction. Neither were alive when nonavian dinosaurs were alive though.
Calamari are squid and not octopuses, both are cephalopods though along with cuttlefish and nautilus's. |

I am not sure that we need to disect every one of Tom's posts as if they are laboratory specimens. No other posts seem to attract the same scrutiny. |

Another case of popular explanation falling well wide of the mark is that of the so called ‘extinct’ woolly mammoth. During my travels across the Siberian Steppes, some years ago, I chanced upon a team of Russian palaeontologists, who were clearly in a state of heightened exuberance.
Apparently, an unseasonable deluge had washed away a section of river bank, exposing the perfectly preserved carcass of a woolly mammoth. The beast was frozen in a running posture and looked as fresh as the proverbial daisy. The Russian greybeards were quite beside themselves with glee, considering this to be the find of the century. Somehow they had got it into their heads that the specimen was at least fifteen thousand years old. I introduced myself and upon learning my identity they naturally begged me to examine their treasure and offer an authoritative opinion. I was pleased to do so, having nothing else planned for the morning. I perused the beast and proclaimed that it was indeed a woolly mammoth, of the genus Mammuthus primigenius. And that it had been dead for at least half an hour! The woolly mammoth, I explained to them, is a burrowing animal, which lives exclusively beneath the ground and is very common in these parts. It tunnels with its enormous tusks and dies instantly upon exposure to sunlight. ‘You have a nice fresh one here,’ I told them, ‘and it would be a shame to waste it.’ Without further ado I had my servants haul the carcass back to the village where I was staying and get the fire stoked up. The greybeards made a quite unnecessary fuss about this and I was forced to employ my stout stick. With typical bad grace they did not attend the barbecue. |

These fossil hunters have a limited picture of life over the ages...the dinosaurs died out and some lunatics blame a meteor strike.. horseshit in my opinion. Man had become the top predator and started hunting them with ever more ingenious ways.. The dinosaurs were our food and over hunting wiped the buggers out |

So with this theory, are we saying man was around 65 million years ago. Or that they got the time wrong and dinosaurs where here 200 thousand years ago? |

It is actually a well known fact that Stegasaurus were hunted by people so that they could use their back plates to eat off. Wedgewood china plates were only invented when the last Stegasaurus died out in 1758. |

It's true, a quick Google search will give you the answers (both simple Google and also creditable sites.
Sharks are 400-450 million years old, while the earliest known trees are 350 million years old. |

Which parts do you want backing up? Will wikipedia suffice? Would over a hundred years of scientific papers be necessary?
I mean it would just be quicker if you educated yourself, but I'm guessing that wont happen as you probably do not like to have your world view challenged. |

Yeah. In the world of facts, opinions and “alternative facts”, facts matter most, as do opinions that are supported by facts. Anything else is just waffle |

"How could they get a fossil of a cephalopod since they don’t have any bones or cartilage? Think someone is pulling your leg…. "
It depends on the fossilisation conditions. Although it's very rare soft bodies to fossilise, it's not impossible. Besides, octopuses have hard beaks, while squid cuttlefish have beaks and a hard central boney structure. Also nautilus's have a hard shell. Cephalopods originally evolved with hard shells in the cambrian period, but they mostly began to internalise the shell. |

"How could they get a fossil of a cephalopod since they don’t have any bones or cartilage? Think someone is pulling your leg…. "
Not sure if a cephalopod is an octupus but it was all over the news. They showed a picture of the fossil and claimed it showed legs and a beak and an ink sack. I am dubious. It looked like fossilised sea to me but I am no expert, a gifted amateur maybe, but not an expert.
We have seen fake fossils before like the footprints of bigfoot in the snow. This could be an octupus hoax but I have an open mind. |

It depends on the fossilisation conditions. Although it's very rare soft bodies to fossilise, it's not impossible. Besides, octopuses have hard beaks, while squid cuttlefish have beaks and a hard central boney structure. ."
It’s Octopi for plural
All have hard beaks.
Squid do not have a hard central bony anything, they have a piece of what looks like “plastic” that supports their upper part.
The cuttlefish has a single piece of calcium rich “bone” inside them.
Check out Smash Fishing on YouTube when he’s cleaning a Squid or Cuttlefish for cooking.

"Buffalo are definitely extinct. We killed them to starve the Red Indians
Now I know you are just taking the piss
Yes we did.. I have seen more programmes on the discovery channel about this than hot dinners. We also gave them blankets infected with small pox"
This cant be true at all, you are so dumb.
Because where do we get buffalo wings from then????

"oh bless you, you think man was around when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, Jurassic park wasn’t a documentary Tom!"
I will say this once more.. and for the last time.. we hunted the dinosaurs with spears...they were slow moving and we had weapons.. some people find that hard to believe.. I saw a documenary where aftrican tribesman moved from children to adults and hunted packs of lions armed with just a spear.. guess what?
The humans won.in the same way mankind used guile, cunning and home made weapons to hunt these evil beastz to extinction including crazed mammoths... |
