"Some of the ancestral waters that made the planet’s oil still exist, like the Gulf of Mexico, while others have long vanished, like the ocean that produced the massive oil fields of the Middle East. The bodies come and go because the earth’s crust, through seemingly rigid, actually moves a great deal over geologic time, tearing apart continents and ocean basins and rearranging them like pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle."
A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before it could make one, like a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his grandfather.

Answer: Because our human ancestors thought they were tasty! Even though it technically wasn’t cannibalism (it would have to be the same species) it’s still rather gross and of course the genocide of a sentient species for food and trophies by our early Homo-Sapien ancestors. Sometimes, history is just weird.

A great bunch of folks, they have kid-friendly public astronomy meet-ups.
