This article uses the common scientific time system mentioned in Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Scientists use the BP method of dating, especially when they use radiometric dates or thermoluminescence dates, which are those dates in use in this article. To change these dates to B.C. is to be inconsistent and to substantially change the dates to make them wrong. They are put off by 2000 years by doing this. The citations used to establish the dates are also then misused. The dates for early humans in Ethiopia/Omo are around 200,000-265,000BP. NOT BC. It's the rare anthropologist who uses AD/BC and this is an article about anthropology. Please do not edit the dates; do keep them consistent.--Levalley (talk) 15:51, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
