OK, I've done a little more research on this whole cave thing, and I have determined the following.
Apparently, according to anthropologist Aris Poulianos (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aris_Poulianos) , who we did meet, the skeleton from the cave is an archanthropus, and this proves that humans have european ancestry going way back.
According to my Lonely Planet Guide, My Rough Guide, and various other internet sources, Pouliano's conclusion is "Controversial," and the skeleton appears to be some Neanderthal-type thing (or maybe homo heidelbergensis, whatever that is) that is much more recent.
According to Professor Simpson from the Grinnell English Department, not only did Poulianos stop allowing the skeleton be carbon dated, he (or someone from Petralona) actually snuck into Aristotle University in the middle of the night to get their skull back, because they didn't like hearing that it was a) more recent than the African species and b) actually a woman.
According to Emily Zdyrko, the caves are awesome. This viewpoint has not been disputed thus far.

peavey poulianos is "a known idiot" for you.
Please respect and accept that other people have a completely different opinion than yours.
I would propose to emily to bother with his theories and read his books.
