6. I'm going to go out on a limb here..,

...and state that I am not ready to reject these findings of an "international team of researchers led by SMU paleontologist Louis L. Jacobs" out of hand.

Besides Jacobs, co-authors of the study include:
- Diana P. Vineyard, research associate at SMU
- Lawrence J. Flynn, Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University
- Christopher R. Scotese, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Northwestern University
- Ismar de Souza Carvalho, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro and Centro de Geociências

I think there's a very good chance that these experts know what they're talking about, and I'm sure that they know a metric ton more about their field than I do. I'm also sure that if there are significant holes in their work, their fellow paleontologists won't hesitate to point them out. In the meantime, I shall give them the benefit of a doubt.
