Okay, I'm sorry, too. It is just that paleontology has been the first and greatest science love of my life ever since I was one of those kids who knew the names of all dinosaurs, only I didn't grow out of it. My shelves are full of paleontology books. I spend way too much time every day reading paleontology blogs. You may not know it, but telling me that I don't know what paleontology means goes over about as well as someone telling you that you don't know what a Native American is.

And, while there is obviously overlap in paleontology and anthropology, they aren't the same. Paleontology is the study of fossils. Anthropology involves fossils, but lots of other elements, too.
