Europe was the birthplace of mankind, not Africa, scientists find The history of human evolution has been rewritten after scientists discovered that Europe was the birthplace of mankind, not Africa. Currently, most experts believe that our human lineage split from apes around seven million years ago in central Africa, where hominids remained for the next five million years before venturing further afield. But two fossils of an ape-like creature which had human-like teeth have been found in Bulgaria and Greece, dating to 7.2 million years ago The discovery of the creature, named Graecopithecus freybergi, and nicknameded ‘El Graeco' by scientists, proves our ancestors were already starting to evolve in Europe 200,000 years before the earliest African hominid. An international team of researchers say the findings entirely change the beginning of human history and place the last common ancestor of both chimpanzees and humans - the so-called Missing Link - in the Mediterranean region www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/05/22/europe-birthplace-mankind-not-africa-scientists-find/ |

Oh sure, now we're all chummy with Bulgaria and Greece so we can share in some of the "European glow". How many days until we go back to badmouthing "not quite really Europe"? Oh well. Can anyone really blame early man for not wanting to live in the UK? |

Scientists know next to nothing about our evolution.

Scientists know next to nothing about everything, it's all theory.
Give a school kid a spliff, he/she will probably state more facts...all pulled out of thin air and forgotten about a few seconds later.

Can't remember exactly what I said now but there must have been some classic theories amongst it.  (I do remember for a short time, long before the electric cabbage era, I held a firm belief that dogs and cats were the same breed, dogs were the males and cats were the females. I read somewhere recently that some smartarse scientist from the USA has debunked that theory) |

Patent absurdities - the theory that we originated in the Rift Valley.
The theory that the last Neanderthals died in a cave in Gibraltar.
These are theories put forward by serious scientists that then get repeated as fact by acolytes.
It's embarrassing.

you mean parts of the Jewish Torah, the bible based on those parts and the Qu'ran based on the parts based on the parts.
Mind you, whereas Moses sizzled what he heard on stone tablets, Mohammed wrote a whole book about what he was told. Interesting that parts are still common in all three 'scriptures'.
PS I know, I'm ignoring that some parts may have been copied from even older Fairy Tales which were being told in Mesopotamia. I'm just too lazy to do some studying on this.

So, incontrovertible proof, then, that God exists: the three scriptures were produced hundreds of years apart, yet God said the same thing to each of the authors. Maybe the variations between the scriptures were because God doesn't have a great memory? |

PS I know, I'm ignoring that some parts may have been copied from even older Fairy Tales which were being told in Mesopotamia. I'm just too lazy to do some studying on this. parts of the bible, Torah and Quran are lifted from the Sumerian King List, Gilgamesh and other Sumerian texts...fact These stories have been doing the rounds in various forms way before any of the Abrahamic "religions" even existed Very simple example - Noah and the ark = story of the great flood from Gilgamesh written down in 2000 BC and one assumes the story was doing the rounds way before it was written down The oldest version of the Torah is believed to be 600BC, and even if we assume the oral Jewish tradtion even best casethere is a 1000 years between Gilgamesh and the earliest references to the Torah.. When the "Jews" did the bunk from Babylon its assumed they took parts of Sumerian religon and stories with them, and this was what became the Torah which led to the other Abrahamic religions |
