Actually fossils don’t feature in archaeology (unless you go to paleolithic archaeology and paleo-anthropology).
Okay, I’ll annotate that in my joke book… lol
It isn’t really funny. People get this wrong ALL the time, confusing archaeology and paleontology with eachother.
I can see why they do. For most people’s work a day lives, the two are the same thing… I like that you keep me honest even in my jokes because it reinforces knowledge the right way. Thanks
I’m glad you don’t take it the wrong way 🙂
Here is one reason that people confuse them regularly: http://phys.org/science-news/archaeology-fossils/
Notice this story at the bottom of the page?
Yes I can see how that can bring about confusion in the minds of people. I don’t think they ought to be put together in one category. But oh well.
You mean the one about Richard III?
No, the four wings story; http://phys.org/news/2013-03-early-birds-wings.html
Yes, I saw it. I also already saw it on Facebook, with the top picture of that article being paired with a picture of Road Runner 😛
