The Tooth That Changes Everything
Israeli scientists have found the earliest evidence for modern man, in teeth at Qesem Cave not far from Tel Aviv.
Instead of 200,000 years of history in Africa, Homo sapiens are looking at 400,000 with early sources in the holy land. This news is just in from teeth located and dated by Israeli scientists in Qesem Cave, a prehistory site not far from the city of Tel Aviv. Just last week Susan covered the news of a hidden ancient Persian Gulf city that could rewrite history. Now Israeli scientists have revealed teeth – 8 of them – that shows how early Homo sapiens, as we know them (and ourselves), could be twice as old.
This could be a game-changer for the way we understand anthropology, archeology and humans in modern history. It could also put some issues related to global warming in the Middle East into a different perspective. NEWS-LINK

Paresthesia After Implant Placement: What Should I Do?
I placed implants in a 48 year old female patient in #30, 31 sites [mandibular right first molar and second molar; 46, 47] 2 months prior.
