A lone time traveler arrives on a prehistoric Pacific island—stranded
in an unknown era, the technology has failed. Falling in by necessity
with pre-humans who did not yet have fire, the traveler scratches
increasingly despairing pleas into every object that may endure and be
discovered by colleagues in the distant future. At last one is found,
but to no avail. Its message is too cryptic—WHEN.
clue:
Look up the paper in Nature this week by Josephine Joordens and 20
other authors, and find the drawing of the Homo erectus scratches on
the shell. Turn it upside down and read it.
