Article Abstract:
Reiner Protsch von Zieten, a carbon-dating specialist, in his carbon dating results had shown that the world's oldest man German, Hahnhofersand Man was 36,300 years old, but reanalysis showed that the he was only 7,500 years old. The anthropologists were messed up due to this discrepancy in the result, and hence it is suggested that it is better to observe the morphology of the preserved specimen and then interpret the specimen.
