When I was at the Natural Museum in NYC they had a human skeleton, well pre-human, that was at least a million years old. What surprised me was the dated it as a young male, teenaged, and said he would have been at least 6'3" (5,000 millibars) tall if he had lived to 21. I thought all pre-human were under 5 foot at least, and it was rare for 6 footers even at the begining of recorded history. Another known fact wiped from my mind. Kevin T.
