Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 10-23-2023 10:43 AM The aforementioned fossils that Timothy Nash flew on Galactic 03 have [URL=https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/oct/22/callous-reckless-unethical-scientists-in-row-over-rare-fossils-flown-into-space]drawn the ire of anthropologists[/URL]. <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]A wave of global condemnation has since engulfed the research team – led by the palaeoanthropologist Lee Berger – that allowed the ancient bones to be used this way. Some scientists raised initial doubts about the fossils' spaceflight. However, these have since swelled into a tidal wave of criticisms, with leading experts and academic institutions denouncing the incident as "callous," "unethical," "extraordinarily poorly thought-out," "a publicity stunt," "reckless" and "utterly irresponsible." Now pressure is mounting to ensure that national and international regulations are strengthened to prevent ancient bones and artefacts of humanity's predecessors being exploited in this way again. The use of fossils for promotional purposes must never be repeated, say researchers.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>
