bonehead would be when it died? Nothing. Ageing of bones and fossils is done by measuring the bones with bloody straightedges and the coroner's gut.
These "ancient humans' bones" does look old as in worn out or very solid. God gave us a disease about 5000 years ago, which helped us with the
problem that all of us grew into becoming "neanderthals". These bones are old, in all extents of the word.
Well, no. That's not how the process is done (and 5,000 years ago was 3,000 BC. The Sumerians and Egyptians and Hindus were all writing things down
by then.) Now, I *do* volunteer in a paleontology lab and have for many years, I *do* go on archaeological and paleontological digs, and I *have*
taught basic forensic anthropology when I was teaching human anatomy labs at the university... so I do have some insight and hands on experience.
It's not done by "straight edges and the coroner's gut." Or, rather, hasn't been done that way since the middle 1800's.
