Teeth found near Tel Aviv point to a new prehistoric human species

Researchers found four teeth in the Qesem Cave near Rosh Ha'ayin (not far from Tel Aviv), and they were astonished at test results that conclude the fossils to be some 400,000-years-old. The significance of this is that it's possible that the origin of prehistoric man is in Israel, and not in East Africa. And an additional surprise is that prehistoric man was mainly vegetarian and not carnivorous.

The cave is 10 meters deep and its surface area is approximately 300 square meters. Researchers have been sifting through it for some 15 years to discover remains from prehistoric times. The ancient teeth were discovered by scientists from Tel Aviv University and other research institutions in the world.

Their examination revealed that they belong to a type of prehistoric man that lived in Israel, and that until now no one knew existed. Science has until now held that humans originated in Africa (Homo Sapiens who developed there about 200,000 years ago.)

Another prehistoric species was the Neanderthal, who became extinct....

Another settled science bites the dust?

To put it into this prospective....out of six-hundred-odd sciences...only ONE is said to be settled. In a humorous twist....even Einstein and ALL of his theories are still continually being reviewed and exercised in an effort to challenge his ‘proven’ science.

They’re mine. Please send them back as chewing on this roast beef sandwich without them is almost impossible. Please, before I starve.

They are white and have two pointy things at their base.

I recommend the name “Homo-Hippy-Homo-Sapiens”

Except they typically don’t lend their specimens out for independent research. They claim it’s 400,000 years old, but when another scientist wants to study their specimens, they don’t allow it.

I don't know why that would surprise them. We expect man and his predecessors to be more primitive the further back you go. Hunting and fishing require organization and good tools. Gathering roots, berries and seeds not so much.

Not buying it. Doesn’t seem to jibe with the Bible.
