SabreFan1 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hot on the heels of the California discovery that may show that humans were in America 130-150k years ago is another discovery in Morocco that definitely show that modern humans evolved on earth 100,000-150,000 years earlier than previously thought. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/we-re-older-we-thought-new-find-pushes-human-origin-n769376 There's more, but here are a few snippets from the article: Quote Modern humans evolved much early than previously thought. New discoveries at a rich site in Morocco show modern humans were hunting and probably cooking game animals 300,000 years ago — 100,000 earlier than scientists have believed until now. Quote New discoveries and new dating methods show that in fact many of the bones belong to modern Homo sapiens, and they lived as far back as 300,000 or 350,000 years. Quote The earliest previous Homo sapiens bones date back 195,000 years ago and they’re from clear across the continent, in modern-day Ethiopia.

VanGnome Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 And this is probably just the absolute tip of the ice berg. There's probably a lot more to discover in our history. At any rate, I'm sure the Discovery network will spin this into a new 10 season long show about "ancient ______ theorists suggest" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithers joe Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 we don't know how many civilizations lay beneath our feet. regardless of what we believe, there is so much we don't know. i believe it is narrow minded to try and push history into what we believe to be right. none of us were around back then to be able to prove when man first walked upon the earth.

taxi Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Very cool. Also very neat they found such a complete skeleton. IMO the biggest issue is with our overly simplistic and linear view of evolution. Humans didn't evolve in a straight line, there was constant offshoots and re-integrations of hominid species. At one point, we probably shared the Earth with various human-like and ape species. Pretty cool to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is even evidence of cross breeding as Caucasians can have some Neanderthal DNA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
