Quantity of Stone-Age skeletons (Talk.Origins)

Claim CC381:


 * Evolutionary anthropologists say Stone-Age people, who buried their dead, were around for about 185,000 years, at a population between one and ten million. If these numbers are correct, they would have buried at least eight billion bodies, but we have found remains of only a few thousand. That is more in line with an age of only a few hundred years before history.

CreationWiki response:

Yes, Talk Origins has succeeded in showing that it is possible to explain the data in terms of 185,000 years, but Dr Humphreys never claims that it can't. The point is that the data most naturally fits into only a few hundred years.
