Owner of ferry in NYC crash seeking to limit liability to
The Seastreak Wall Street, which slammed hard into a New York pier last week, was valued at $7.6 million. And if its owners are successful, that would be the total amount of liability they would face in any personal injury lawsuits likely to be filed by passengers injured in the accident.
Seastreak LLC sought the protection in federal court in Newark today, in a petition also requesting that all claims against the company be consolidated in one venue.
Meanwhile, the National Transportation Safety Board, which is investigating the crash, said yesterday that it found damage to the ferry port propeller. It did not indicate whether the damage contributed to the crash, or resulted from it.
Investigators said they also tested the ferry steering systems on Friday and found no problems.
The Seastreak Wall Street, a high speed catamaran that provides regular commuter service between New Jersey and lower Manhattan, had been on its second run of the morning on Jan. 9 when something went wrong.
Traveling from Highlands in Monmouth County to New York with 326 people on board, the boat passed the Statue of Liberty and made what seemed to be a routine approach to Pier 11, before it suddenly slammed into a concrete slip.
Many people, waiting on stairways to disembark, were thrown forward by the impact. About 70 passengers were injured, 11 of them seriously. The captain, in interviews with the NTSB, said the ferry controls and engines failed as he tried to dock.
Records show the 140 foot boat, which entered service in September 2003, underwent a major refit last summer. Its jet drive propulsion system was replaced with new engines, rudders and variable pitch propellers. The modifications reduced the vessel overall weight and reduced its top speed from 38 knots to 35 knots, but increased its fuel economy and lowered its cost of operation. Coast Guard personnel who inspected the ferry in July 2012 after the modifications were completed. It noted the modifications were found to be satisfactory and the vessel was given a temporary certificate of inspection.
In today's update, the NTSB said classic hermes bags fake the manufacturer of the ferry engines was able to download alarm and other data stored on computer control modules in each of the two engine compartments for analysis. Investigators also retrieved video from several onboard cameras, which is being examined.
An underwater survey of the vessel revealed the damage to the port propeller. A more complete how much is a hermes handbag hull survey will be conducted when the boat is hauled from the water for repairs. Army Corps of Engineers will also conduct a bottom survey of the approach to Pier 11, to determine if there are any underwater approach obstructions.
Thomas Wynne, a spokesman for Seastreak, said the company began receiving letters from attorneys representing several passengers as soon as the day of the accident, indicating they planned to file for damages.
understandable. There were more than 300 passengers and some of them were hurt, he said. District Court, he said, was made to create a single proceeding for any claims that are filed.
our intention to deal directly with passengers where we can, but this filing allows us to consolidate all the proceedings that will end in litigation, Wynne said.
The Different hermes bag fake filing, though, also sought a so called of liability.
It fake hermes leather handbags petitioned the court for exoneration from any liability from injuries sustained by passengers, while claiming that damages actually awarded against the company through litigation be limited to the value of the ferry at the time of the accident. That value, in the filing, was set at $7.6 million.
Experts in maritime law say such petitions are common. The law allows shipowners who may be facing hundreds of lawsuits to petition the court for a consolidation order, bringing everyone into a single forum, while setting a deadline for anyone to file claims, said attorney Ronald Betancourt of Betancourt, Van Hemmen, Greco Kenyon in Red Bank.
is a preemptive strike, he said.
But the statute, which dates back to the 1800s, wsa originally meant to protect shipowners during the age of sail. It limits a ship owner liability in an accident to the value of the vessel at the end of the voyage but only if it can be shown that the incident happened without the knowledge of the owner.

Wynne could not comment on the accident investigation, but said Seastreak continues to reach out to passengers who were on the ferry at the time of the accident.

Observational research methods
Cohort, cross sectional, and case control studies are collectively referred to as observational studies. Often these studies are the only practicable method of studying various problems, for example, studies of aetiology, instances where a randomised controlled trial might be unethical, or if the condition to be studied is rare. Cohort studies are used to study incidence, causes, and prognosis. Because they measure events in chronological order they can be used to distinguish between cause and effect. Cross sectional studies are used to determine prevalence. fake hermes leather handbags They are relatively quick and easy but do not permit distinction between cause and effect. Case controlled studies compare groups retrospectively. They seek to identify possible predictors of outcome and are useful for studying rare diseases or outcomes. They are often used to generate hypotheses that can then be studied via prospective cohort or other studies.research methodscohort studycase control studycross sectional studyCohort, cross sectional, and case control studies are often referred to as observational studies because imitiaton hermes bags the investigator simply observes.

In Moyes' first 10 Premier League games in charge, United lost three times, including at Anfield and the Etihad, picking up 17 points out of a possible 30, and starting a poor season that would lead to his eventual sacking in April 2014.
But that record is two points better than this season, which again sees United in eighth place after 10 games, with defeats by Manchester City, Watford and Chelsea.
The current United team have also scored four goals fewer than Moyes' side did a damning statistic given how dull the 2013 14 Old Trafford vintage was considered and conceded only one goal fewer.

That is despite Mourinho spending 89m on Paul Pogba, investing in the bumper wages of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and splashing a combined 56m on Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Eric Bailly, the former of whom has scarcely been seen in a United shirt.
Van Gaal was also given money to spend, but Moyes, whose only signing in his first transfer window saw Marouane Fellaini arrive from Everton, is the manager in the post Sir Alex Ferguson era who made the best start to his United reign.

the cricketing maharaja's emerald necklace
In Britain, it was his sporting prowess that captured headlines from the moment he started scoring runs at Cambridge through his captaincy of Sussex and his appearances for England. He was, they said, "the black prince of cricketers". At home, his 26 year period as ruler of a small state in Gujarat was noted for advanced thinking on the economy and on education. One of the most important historic pieces of Indian jewellery in existence, it was a particular favourite of the maharaja. But now it is for sale with an estimate of 1.6m. The piece will be a highlight of an auction at Christie's, London, on 23 September, with a carriage, manuscripts and other jewels illustrating the wealth and the eye for beauty in India.
The two most important jewels in the Maharaja Jamsahib of Nawanagar's necklace are a 17th century central oblong emerald estimated to weigh 155cts and an 18th century hexagonal emerald estimated to weigh 200cts.
David Warren, the director of Christie's jewellery department, said he had seen many carved emeralds but they were nearly always unmounted. "It's very uncommon to find a complete necklace," he said. "I've never actually seen another complete maharaja necklace like this."
The maharaja was born in India in 1872 but studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he began his career as a world class cricketer. He was the first person to score 3,000 runs in a season and two centuries in a day. After university, he fake cartier ring diamond became a stalwart for the Sussex county side, which he captained from 1899 to ring cartier knock off 1903, as well as for England. He scored 72 centuries during his career and is mentioned favourably in comparison with cricketing greats such as the Australian Don Bradman. The most important first class cricket tournament in India is the Ranji Trophy, a shortened version of his name.
But despite his love of England and the thwack of wood on willow, he also did much for Nawanagar, a state on the Kathiawar peninsula, which he ruled from 1907. He improved the administration and developed the economy, extended the railway, constructed a modern port and electrified its main city. He also introduced free primary education in 1911 and followed with secondary level six years later.
He served in the First World War and represented India at the League of Nations, the United Nations' doomed predecessor, in Geneva. He never married so his throne passed to a nephew when he died in 1933.
Mr Warren said a photograph of him wearing a necklace shows it was not always exactly as it has survived today although imitation cartier ring love it is substantially the same piece. It was not unusual for men to wear such items, he added.
"The men wore the most important jewellery. Their womenfolk had far inferior pieces. They wore them as symbols of status and power. They would wear seven or eight diamond necklaces around their neck and brooches and bracelets and huge turban ornaments and encrust ed swords."
The maharaja was a connoisseur of jewellery and became a friend of Jacques Cartier, the jeweller. It is thought Cartier himself restrung the necklace. Records show the large hexagon emerald was added in the 1920s or 1930s. It is not known when the piece left the maharaja's family. "When the maharajas became redundant, so did their jewellery," Mr Warren said.
A couple of years ago, an item of turban decoration some 20 or 24ins long and 6ins high, covered in diamonds and dripping with emerald drops came up for sale. It was bought copy cartier love ring men for a woman who turned it upside down and wore it as a necklace. "Women can wear anything, quite frankly," he said. "It's a man's necklace but there are plenty of women who could get away with it."

He was, they said, "the black prince of cricketers". At home, his 26 year period as ruler of a small state in Gujarat was noted for advanced thinking on the economy and on education. One of the most important historic pieces of Indian jewellery in existence, it was a particular favourite of the maharaja. But now it is for sale with an estimate of 1.6m. The piece will be a highlight of an auction at Christie's, London, on 23 September, with a carriage, manuscripts and other jewels illustrating the wealth and the eye for beauty in India.
The two most important jewels in the Maharaja Jamsahib of Nawanagar's necklace are a 17th century central oblong emerald estimated to weigh 155cts and an 18th century hexagonal emerald estimated to weigh 200cts.
David Warren, the director of Christie's jewellery department, said he had seen many carved emeralds but they were nearly always unmounted. "It's very uncommon to find a complete necklace," he said. "I've never actually seen another complete maharaja necklace like this."
The maharaja was born in India in 1872 but studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he began his career as a world class cricketer. He was the first person to score 3,000 runs in a season and two centuries in a day. After university, he fake cartier ring diamond became a stalwart for the Sussex county side, which he captained from 1899 to ring cartier knock off 1903, as well as for England. He scored 72 centuries during his career and is mentioned favourably in comparison with cricketing greats such as the Australian Don Bradman. The most important first class cricket tournament in India is the Ranji Trophy, a shortened version of his name.
But despite his love of England and the thwack of wood on willow, he also did much for Nawanagar, a state on the Kathiawar peninsula, which he ruled from 1907. He improved the administration and developed the economy, extended the railway, constructed a modern port and electrified its main city. He also introduced free primary education in 1911 and followed with secondary level six years later.
He served in the First World War and represented India at the League of Nations, the United Nations' doomed predecessor, in Geneva. He never married so his throne passed to a nephew when he died in 1933.
Mr Warren said a photograph of him wearing a necklace shows it was not always exactly as it has survived today although imitation cartier ring love it is substantially the same piece. It was not unusual for men to wear such items, he added.
"The men wore the most important jewellery. Their womenfolk had far inferior pieces. They wore them as symbols of status and power. They would wear seven or eight diamond necklaces around their neck and brooches and bracelets and huge turban ornaments and encrust ed swords."
The maharaja was a connoisseur of jewellery and became a friend of Jacques Cartier, the jeweller. It is thought Cartier himself restrung the necklace. Records show the large hexagon emerald was added in the 1920s or 1930s. It is not known when the piece left the maharaja's family. "When the maharajas became redundant, so did their jewellery," Mr Warren said.
A couple of years ago, an item of turban decoration some 20 or 24ins long and 6ins high, covered in diamonds and dripping with emerald drops came up for sale. It was bought copy cartier love ring men for a woman who turned it upside down and wore it as a necklace. "Women can wear anything, quite frankly," he said. "It's a man's necklace but there are plenty of women who could get away with it."

What To Do When You're Ready To Break Up
In 1988, my then boyfriend gave me a gleaming Cartier Santos Tank watch for my birthday, which thrilled me to no end. Even though I was 31 and had a solid career, this was my first serious watch. Wearing it made me feel glamorous, sophisticated and beautiful. A classic Cartier, it kept on ticking, day in and day out, for all these years. It was so perfect, I never considered replacing it with another, even long after the relationship ended and I married someone else.
Every few years when I would bring it to Cartier for cleaning and battery updates, they would tell me how well the watch had worn the test of time (no pun intended), a credit to my loving care. But a few months ago during a visit to their Fifth Avenue flagship store, the lovely gentleman in the service department joked that maybe it was time for something new. After all . . . 25 years was a pretty long time to be attached to a watch. Wasn't I getting bored?
I am a minimalist to the core, and a retailer's worst nightmare. Shopping is one of my least favorite things to do, and as I've gotten older my goal has been to de clutter my life . . . not to cartier ring men fake crowd it with more things I don't need. Why, I thought to myself, would I want a new watch when the one I have is in perfect working condition?
But, for the first time in 25 years I found myself sneaking peeks at watches on display in store windows, while giving serious consideration to the idea of life without my Cartier. For sure, I was attached to the watch itself because I treasure its timeless design and flawless engineering. But, did I have an emotional connection to it? Had I received it from someone whom I had truly loved? Was this something I would cherish as a romantic memento for the rest of my life? Would I consider passing it on to one of my daughters?
It took seconds to come up with the answers: no, no, no, and no.
Clearly, I was ready to let it go . . . and move on. I was starting to agree with the Cartier service guy: being devoted to a watch for 25 years seemed long enough to me.
But what to do with it? Sell it on eBay? Try a consignment shop? Leave it in my top drawer for the next 25 years? Give it to one of my daughters now? I wasn't sure. I asked a friend who seems to know about everything for some advice. She promptly imitation ring cartier pointed me toward a firm that buys jewelry and only jewelry, no matter what kind of condition it's in.
Natasha Cornstein, an executive at CIRCA, the world's leading buyer of jewelry (including watches), talked me through the process. During our phone chat, Natasha told me that CIRCA estimates that five trillion dollars of unworn jewelry can be found in vaults, jewelry boxes and drawers like mine around the world. cartier ring diamond imitation That's a lot of bling gathering dust.
She also told me that in the past selling jewelry was often prompted by the "three D's": death, divorce and debt. No more. Today, people bring all kinds of jewelry to CIRCA and other jewelry buyers for lots of other reasons including the most simple one of all: you've had it for a while, you're not wearing it anymore, you want to move on from it, and maybe get something new. Or, many people want to use the money to pay for other things: vacation, clothes, even college tuition.
The problem many people have, Natasha said, is they feel guilty selling something if it's been given as a gift, or especially if it's been handed down to them by a loved one. The people at CIRCA have this to say about that: If you know you'll never wear it . . . sell it. No one benefits if it's languishing in a drawer.
I met with Natasha and Angelina Chen, the New York director of CIRCA, who answered a few of my questions about knowing when and how to sell your jewelry, watches and other beloved baubles:
What's your typical jewelry purchase? We buy everything. Just about every piece of jewelry has resale value, whether it's in perfect condition or not (even some costume "in demand global brands" like Chanel or Hermes are bought, but CIRCA typically buys real jewelry.).
What if I haven't worn it in a year (or ever?) Chances are good you never will again. Sell it.
How do I know if what's in my jewelry box is worth anything? Get it cartier ring diamond copy evaluated by an expert buyer. You never know.
Should I get the piece fixed or cleaned before bringing it in? Expert buyers evaluate every item regardless of condition, so don't get it refurbished, cleaned or fixed first. Just bring it in, as is.
Does it have to be appraised first? No insurance appraisal is necessary.
When do I get paid? Once the seller has accepted an offer, expect to be paid immediately.
Angelina explained that CIRCA experts evaluate and make an offer on the spot for every piece a buyer brings to their private offices scattered around the world whether it's a 40 year old gold bracelet with a broken latch or a 4 carat diamond ring . . . or even a 25 year old Cartier Santos Tank watch with a band that's getting a little loose. She also pointed out that they write checks for as little as $100 to over $20,000,000, because they take every piece of jewelry that comes through the door.
Walking out of the office I started a mental list of all the unworn jewelry I'd be pulling out of my drawer when I got home: the gold earring that lost its mate ten years ago; the silver chain that didn't go with anything, ever; the gaudy ring relatives gave me years ago (no names, please); and a few more trinkets I knew I'd never wear.
Here's a video clip of Natasha explaining everything to the morning team on Fox Friends:
Kids tend to outgrow clothes at a fast rate. To free up closet space, thredUP, an online consignment shop, allows you to get rid of the mountain of clothes that no longerfit. ThredUP will send you a free bag to fill with the unwanted clothes. You mail them in and they resell the clothes in its online kids clothing shop. In exchange, besides a clean closet, you will receive 20 to 40 percent of the total resale value, which you can either keep or use in thredUP's store.trend knockoff cartier yellow jewelry stainless st

Pogba gets going as Van Persie grabs goal on Old Trafford return
In an ideal world Paul Pogba would dominate games and score decisive goals every time he pulled on the No 6 Manchester United shirt but after this performance against Fenerbahce, Jose Mourinho would simply settle for the same again at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
The world's most expensive footballer scored twice in United's Europa League demolition of Fenerbahce and celebrated with the kind of bountiful confidence that seems to come naturally for this young man. If that performance against Liverpool on Monday was on his mind, when he found himself largely passed around at Anfield, then it certainly did not show.
He engaged in the kind of choreographed goal celebrations with his team mate Jesse Lingard that most people over a certain age can only watch with a deep sense of embarrassment on behalf of the participants. But then United did not spend 89 million on a man they hoped would be shy and retiring and Pogba is certainly not that.
After four games as substitute there was a return to the team for Wayne Rooney who must nonetheless wonder whether he has done enough to keep his place for the game against Chelsea. United won two penalties in quick succession in the first half and both times Rooney had the ball in his hands only to defer to Pogba and then Anthony Martial.
There was a goal fake hermes leather handbags late in the game for Fenerbahce's Robin Van Persie, applauded by all sides of the ground with affection but also in the same way a child taking penalties at half time might get some good natured encouragement. In the stand, Sir Alex Ferguson, whose 13th Premier League title was delivered largely thanks to the Dutchman's goals joined in the applause and so did his friend alongside him, Sam Allardyce.
Mourinho was even able to bring on the lesser spotted Marcos Rojo and Memphis Depay as United strolled through the second half. Even so there was no place once again for Henrikh Mkhitaryan who did not even merit a place on the bench and Morgan Schneiderlin was not in the squad either. The result takes United top of the group on goal difference from Feyenoord.
Mourinho had one of his minor touchline rages when Pogba brought down the right winger Alper Potuk close to half time and gave Fenerbahce a free kick and one of their rare sights of the United goal in the first half.
It was a moment that showed how United's 89 million man can often look like a certainty to give away a free kick when he comes bounding over to challenge a smaller opponent. Pogba does all replica hermes handbags sorts of things in the course of a match, good and bad. He can execute a little drag back to take the ball away from an opponent and, in the space of a few minutes, he can fall over his own feet.
United are still looking for one of those stand out performances against a major opponent and there is no question that there is so much that is possible from this remarkably gifted footballer who can dominate with his power and his technique. He was keen to take the first penalty that United won on the half hour and despite a run up that were eerily reminiscent of Simone Zaza's ill starred Euro 2016 semi final miss for Italy, Pogba replica how much is a hermes handbag put his away.
Before then, United had lots of possession but little in the way of chances unless you count Anthony Martial arriving too late at the back post when Juan Mata crossed on 24 minutes. It was Mata who won the first penalty, twisting back onto a good throughball from Michael Carrick and inviting a disastrous challenge from Simon Kjaer who seemed determined to attract the French referee's attention.
Pogba scored that and within three minutes, the French referee Benoit Bastien had given United another. This time it was the unfortunate Sener Ozbayraki who brought down Martial and Pogba allowed his team mate to have the second penalty. An unusual tactic but one supposes that it keeps the goalkeeper guessing. Martial buried his in the same corner.
The best goal of the first half was the third goal. The calamitous Kjaer gave the ball to Rooney on the right and he found Jesse Lingard in the centre. The Englishman had to double back to get the ball and with his back to goal, teed up Pogba perfectly for a right footed shot into the top corner of the Fenerbahce goal.
The Fenerbahce manager Dick Advocaat put Kjaer out of his misery at half time and replaced him. Four minutes into the new half and United struck again, the same combination of Pogba, Rooney and Lingard as it was for the third goal. This time Lingard hit a nicely judged right foot shot from the edge of the area that beat the goalkeeper Volkan Demirel past his right hand.
Van Persie's goal was forced in from close range from the cross of Emmanuel Emenike and the applause grew around the ground as the home support recognised that it was their once great centre forward who had done the business. Certainly the Dutchman seemed touched by the reception he was given
Michael Owen's sole aim in any football match was to score goals and he cannot understand why Rooney passed on penalty duty to Pogba and Martial. I AGREE. (hold me)He's trying to get Pogba started and in form, and Martial's confidence is low, but I'd say the main thing to note about this is that Rooney keeps acting like he's the oldest guy playing 5 a side, letting others get their turn. He's only 31 (nearly) he should want to score as many as possible. Instead he seems happy to just sit back and let everyone else have the fun, almost like he's already been there, done that. Where's the ambition? The desire? He used to be absolutely mad, lunging into everyone, all fired up and swearing. Now he's just. he's like the guy who was screaming, demanding tunes off the DJand standing on tables last night but is all quiet and bashful now it's Sunday.
"It will be a special occasion and a special game for me," he told MUTV.
"I know Manchester United want to be in the Champions League, but it is how it is now and for me it is a very special group in the Europa League. In the last match I had a game against one of my first teams, Feyenoord, and next it's United. I am looking forward to it.
"I am now playing for Fenerbahce and I want to do well for my team but of course it will be special to play 'at home' [Old Trafford] in a great stadium with great fans against a replica hermes handbags outlet great team.
"It will be tough for us. United are the favourites, but you never know what will happen. In general I am looking forward to a nice evening and enjoying the whole experience."
"It's a very difficult week for us. Monday, Thursday, Sunday; Liverpool, Fenerbahce, Chelsea. It's a special week. We have to be ready," he said.
"I don't want to give you the team. Sometimes I do, but this time, no.
"If we play with a team that is not good and strong, we won't have a chance. We will play a really good team knowing two days later we have to play again."
Robin van Persie is set to play his first game in England since he was sold to Fenerbahce in 2015.
After arriving from Arsenal in 2012, Robin van Persie scored 30 goals in his first season at Manchester United to help guide the club to their most recent Premier League title win, and their last under Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Armenian has been limited to a handful of appearances since joining the club from Borussia Dortmund and hopes Thursday's game against Fenerbahce could help him to re find his form.
Manager Jose Mourinho has backed the former Dortmund playmaker to start proving himself after recovering from injury.
"He was injured for quite a long time," said Mourinho.
"Now he is not injured any more. He has been training with the team without any limitation. I cannot confirm if he plays tomorrow. Now he is fit and now it is time for him to go back to the levels we know he can achieve."

Our earliest ancestors, homo habilis, appeared in East and Southern African about 2.3 million years ago. Homo erectus showed up about 1.8 million years ago and finally, modern humans, Homo sapiens, around 200,000 years ago.
But like any family, it can get kind of complicated. A skull found in Dmanisi, Georgia, could shake up this tree and trim some of the branches. Reporting in Science, researchers say the skull could be evidence that the genus Homo is actually one slow evolving line rather many multiple species. Could this change how we look at human evolution?
If you have a question, give us a call. Our number's 1 800 989 8255. That's 1 800 989 TALK. You'll find some links to the topic.
Now, my next guest is not part of the study reported in Science but has studied the fossils at the Dmanisi site. Adam Van Arsdale is assistant professor in anthropology at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Welcome to SCIENCE FRIDAY.
ADAM VAN ARSDALE: Thank you. Thank you for having me.
DANKOSKY: So first of all, describe the site where the fossil was found and why it's so interesting.
VAN ARSDALE: Dmanisi is a really remarkable site for a lot of reasons. One of the first is that unlike a sort of big open area that you might expect in East Africa, the site itself is actually in the midst of medieval archeological ruins so its initial discovery in the early 1980s was actually because there were archeologists excavating the basements of these medieval structures.
So when you're working at Dmanisi, you're working surrounded by these medieval structures that date back more than 1,000 years, but you're digging through remains that go back 1.8 million years, even a little bit older. So the setting itself is quite remarkable. But the.
VAN ARSDALE: The fossils are really what make the site spectacular, though. One of the really unique things about Dmanisi is that it's a single site at a single place in time. All of the fossils at Dmanisi, all the hominid fossils are coming from a very shot narrow window of time and they're all very complete, where we have lots of preserved elements from multiple individuals, which makes it a unique comparison to look at other fossil localities in terms of the variation presented by the Dmanisi fossils.
DANKOSKY: So tell us about this skull five, the one that everyone is talking about van cleef and arpels earrings copy here.
VAN ARSDALE: It's probably the best preserved fossil human skull anywhere in the fossil record older than 100,000 years of age. And the fact that it's nearly 1.8 million years of age is just remarkable. Now, unlike a lot of human evolution stories that make headlines, it's not really something new. It's not a new species. It's not from a new location. It's the same old species we've had for a long time and at a site that we already have four relatively complete skulls.
So what makes it remarkable is it really rounds out that picture variation that we see from Dmanisi and together that picture variation has been quite illuminating.
DANKOSKY: Well, first of all, describe a little bit what you think this individual would have looked like, how big, how tall, describe the skull itself.
VAN ARSDALE: It wouldn't have been a very large individual, kind of moderate in body size, probably towards the small end of the human range. We have some postcranial elements so parts of actually the lower limb that are probably associated with this new skull that would suggest it's probably something in the neighborhood of four and a half to five feet tall as an adult.
So at the small end of the human range and not very large, but also not tiny, not like earlier australopithecines, like you might know Lucy. The skull itself, however, is remarkably primitive and in many of its features it's very huge. It has this massive jaw. Imagine sort of the Jay Leno chin on a four and a half foot tall early fossil human, and a big projecting brow ridge, a very prognathic or projecting face so it would have been definitely a remarkable individual to look at, a combination of sort of primitive large facial structures with an overall relatively small body size.
DANKOSKY: And about 40 percent the size of our brain.
VAN ARSDALE: Yes. Very small brain size. This new specimen they estimate at about 550 cubic centimeters, which, yeah, is about 40 percent of our brain size today.
DANKOSKY: So aside from the skull five, talk a little bit more briefly about what else is found at the site.
VAN ARSDALE: So the variation preserved in these fossils, as I said, is remarkable because it gives us a relatively complete picture about what normal variation looks like. If you go outside and walk around and you look at the people around you, the features, that structure, the anatomical differences between them are largely aspects of how old those individuals replica van cleef and arpels bracelet are and whether they're male or female.
And at Dmanisi, across these five individuals, we think we have younger individuals, older individuals, male individuals and female individuals. So within one site, just coming from a narrow strip of time, we think we have a relatively complete picture about what variation looks like in a normal population 1.8 million years ago.
DANKOSKY: So now the researchers said that the differences between these Dmanisi fossils are no more pronounced than those between five modern humans or five chimpanzees. What made them come to this conclusion?
VAN ARSDALE: So they did a fairly technical analysis where they actually looked at the variation in the shape of the skull itself. Actually, what kind of shape differences exist between these specimens that some of them are male, some of them are female, some of them are different age, and they basically said replica bracelet van cleef alhambra that it's a similar kind of range of variation as you'd find under a human sample or a chimpanzee sample that occupied a similar kind of characteristics, you know, also males and females, also young and old.
DANKOSKY: If you want to join us, 1 800 989 8255 or 1 800 989 TALK. Some criticisms of this study say the measurement method wasn't very discriminating. Do you see it that way?
VAN ARSDALE: I actually don't see it that way. I mean, there's no perfect way to analyze fossil specimens. Every fossil has a different degree of preservation so the analytical approaches you bring to bear in your questions are always going to vary a little bit depending on exactly what you're looking at and exactly what questions you ask.
In the case of these researchers, you know, the methods that they took are very much in line with what many other researchers are doing today and even more interestingly, actually, although I wasn't on this paper, I published a paper earlier this year where we came to the same conclusions using similar materials, but using a very different method.
So the fact that two groups of researchers have come to the same basic conclusion about the variations we see in early homo, using very different analytical approaches is, I think, as strong statement.
DANKOSKY: Okay. So let's get to the big thing here. Some people are going to look at this and say, this skull is evidence that the homo genus comes from a single line that essentially, as we put earlier, it's going to shave off some of the branches of the human family tree. Maybe you can explain this analysis and whether or not you think that this is essentially what we're finding here.
VAN ARSDALE: Well, so to take it a step back a little bit, so for the last 40, 50 years there's been a huge amount of work done in East Africa getting a wonderful fossil record. However, the fossils we've recovered from East Africa are primarily coming from open air sites that are scattered across wide geographic areas and that also encompass more than 400,000 years of time. So we have individual isolated specimens coming across big geographic and temporal ranges.
Dmanisi, as I said, has a lot of individuals with a lot of variation at one point in time. So over the last 40 years as we've discovered more and more fossils, the differences between them have been fairly striking, in part because we're making comparisons across such distances. And so those variations have, more often than not, been classified on the basis of being different species.
