Well checking the dictionary -Random House- finally. In the statement
paleo-Letzisch royalty I guess -paleo- meant paleology as in the study
of antiquities, rather then paleontology, the science of the forms of
life existing in former geologic periods, as represented by their
fossils. For no good reason, I had always assumed
sci.anthropology.paleo meant human fossils. I can certainly see how a
Luxemburgish poster could reach another conclusion, and may even be
right. Interesting--the way you learn things.
