Score One for Mankind!


This whale is thanking it's Human overlords for the free water.

By this point it's pretty much common knowledge that humanity is one of the worst things to ever happen to this planet, outside of gigantic meteors and mosquitoes That's why this article was something of a breath of fresh air.

According to the article it's been accepted that around 50,000 years ago mankind showed up in Australia. It's also been accepted that around that time a shit load of animals disappeared. Scientists up until this point had blamed the disappearances on humanity, however new finds are disproving that, and there's actually some pretty ridiculous reasoning behind it.

Scientists had only been looking for fossils of creatures that died out 50,000 years ago. It was only recently that a team decided to extend their search to include fossils from 120,000 years ago, and then 90,000 years ago. What they found were 12 large species 120,000 years ago, 8 90,000 years ago and then only 4 species 55,000 years ago -- still quite some time before humanity even arrived.

Pretty cool finds by the Aussies, although realistically this could be some kind of feel good mind control garbage from Super Earth. As the Bonus Time faithful I'm sure are aware, we still can not trust that Australia isn't under complete control of the tyrant rival Earth. Still it's nice to move one into the win column for us, good job everyone.
