What the Story is About: “There was no doubt that the femur was that of a modern human. Not a proto-human, or some previously unknown dinosaur. Joel and Renee had arrived at the same answer. It was demonstrable, provable. When they finally did release news of the discovery, people might argue about it, but they’d be unable to refute it.” Was it a time traveler? or was there some other reason why human bones were embedded in millions of years old rock?”
