Lluc

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Excuse me for being so pedantic, but - if I am not mistaken - the name Lluc is the Catalan form of the Latin Lucas, which, despite its similarity, is not related to the Latin word lux ("light"). I realize that the discoverers gave this etymology, and we should respect their intents. I would suggest a rewording of this which would say maybe something like "the discoverers gave this nickname for its suggestion of illumination ...". —Preceding unsigned comment added by TomS TDotO (talk • contribs) 15:40, 14 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

This was from the press release "official explanation".

What wonder me is the geographic location was it Europe or Africa?.

At 'Gibreltar' land bridged Mediterranean Sea to allow migration between Europe and Africa. The events like Tortonian in cycles of drought and floods (like at Messinian epoch) opened and closed the land bridge. The find may lay on African side if the channel to Atlantic run trough Sorbas basin. I think more detail on paleo-landscape may make this article interesting to read. (perhaps more research is needed). Another point is the tectonic of African Plate. <This wiki article do not have much about paleo-history but it was a time when Africa was an continental island.
