Smart enough to Know Better

The discovery of a human jawbone, scarred by severe gum disease, indicates that it's toothless owner survived by being fed soft food. This evidence leads anthropologists to believe this "pre-Neandertal" society cared for it's elderly and disabled. The jawbone is estimated to be 200,000 years old and is four times older than previous evolutionary estimates that promoted the belief this level of social awareness didn't exist this early. As one archeologist said, 'It suggests pre-Neandertals had significant elements of fully human behavior.'

In contrast, studies of monkeys and apes show no such level of social care, as individuals starve after losing their teeth.

Creation application: Yes, more evidence that early man was not primitive or evolving as man was made on Day 6 of the Creation week just 6,000 years ago. Being off by 600,000 years is beyond the applications of science. And monkeys and apes show no level of social care because they are not humans, nor will they ever become humans, and because they lack the ability to think and reason. Just another example of cut and paste history.
