First of all, the performance that the Paleobiology kids did about hominid evolution and culture at the closing ceremony was really mostly about archaeology (study of past cultures and their artifacts), not paleobiology (a branch of paleontology that deals with the origin, growth and structure of fossil animals and plants as living organisms).  The overwhelming majority of physical remains of hominids have been artifacts, not fossils, and most paleontologists stick to their own turf-- other animal and plant species that have mostly fossil remains-- dinosaurs, much??  They're mooching off of our syllabus!
