While we're on the subject, is this true?
I heard a rumour that back in the 60's an eminent archaeologist who's name eludes me went to see Zulu at the cinema. As the story goes, during a scene where Stanley Baker or someone is stood on a hill listening to the sound of the approaching Zulu army, said archaeologist spots a piece of bone in the soil, identifies it as a hominid fossil, then pops over to South Africa and digs it up.
