'Flintstones' Kitchen Layout Pretty Accurate

[TRUEYOUTRUEME]

In a stone-age version of "Iron Chef," early humans were dividing their living spaces into kitchens and work areas much earlier than previously thought, a new study found.

So rather than cooking and eating in the same area where they snoozed, early humans demarcated such living quarters.

Archaeologists discovered evidence of this coordinated living at a hominid site at Gesher Benot Ya'aqov, Israel from about 800,000 years ago.Scientists aren't sure exactly who lived there, but it predates the appearance of modern humans, so it was likely a human ancestor such as Homo erectus.

So some things never change. Home Sweet Home that is.

Betty pulls dinner off the stove for a hungry Fred Flintstone. New archaeological discoveries indicate that the living facility seen in the cartoon was actually fairly accurate.

Seems like common sense that they kept their sleeping spaces separate from cooking and eating spaces. Who'd want to smell a rotting carcass or inhale smoke while they sleep? I'm sure they kept their "bathroom" space separate too.

I find it fascinating that archeologists have finally discovered evidence that Betty Rubble and Fred Flintstone were having an affair (or at least spending a lot of time together while Wilma and Barney were away).

Actually wasn't it Geico that first started to figure out that there somthing wrong with the Flintstones and the Rubbles back a year or so ago?

But still they did live in a home similiar to the show is what the archeaologists have discovered. So Let's not get this thread moved into the Conspiracy section just yet.
