Regret that I can't answer that question - I use the experience of  
millions of years of life to support the paleo priciple. Compared to that,  
the flawed reports of scientists are insignificant. IMHO.

I've come up with something that seems stunningly obvious, to wit: bone  
growth stops at maturity, else we would all be >20 feet tall, so, since  
the bones show no growth after 30 years, they (scientists!!!) assume they  
all died at ~30. Of nothing, since there are no signs of disease or trauma.
