Yeah, saw the horses article the other day. Seems we can't take anything for granted at the minute. I do find all this 'new' science is kinda exciting, I quite like it when accepted opinions are turned on their head. I was particularly interested in the cave painting/languge development studies article. Dunno how much I buy into it, I'm sure peeps were communicating aurally before they started hanging around in the depths of caves, poisoning themselves to make handprints and pictograms, but it's an interesting idea nontheless. They'll be telling us lithophones invented music next.
