I remember them from "Star Trek Deep Space 9"
Created 2 more missing links.
I’ll take the Biblical consensus of man’s beginning being somewhere in the Middle East, whether it be Turkey or Iraq.
There is a new book out by Bruce Fenton that takes all the latest mainstream scientific data of DNA, genome and recently discovered bones and has postulated that there was migration TO AFRICA, not out of Africa. Now for the moment he is sticking with the original Africa as the motherland, but has data that there was more than one migration into Africa from Austral-Asian areas.
Reading between the lines I think Fenton will ultimately push for an Austral-Asian location as the motherland of man. This will fit into the myth-narrative of the legendary Mu.
Mu is interesting and I have done much research for a book I am writing. There is no doubt that Atlantis existed and disappeared. The existence o Mu is a little more problematic. Col. Jack Churchward had Mu slipping under the waters due to gas explosions under the surface. Looking at the Pacific there is no reason to believe that a 3000 by 5000 mile continent could exist. Except....
Look to Sundaland. Essentially Indonesia Pre- Ice Age. Ocean levels were nearly 400 feet lower than today. Exposed coastlines extended out tens of miles in not 200 in some cases. Indonesia was a land mass and not a series of islands like today. I am placing Mu in ancient Indonesia as geographically it makes sense.
Anyway, the whole topic is fascinating.
BTW while I have everyone here...I am looking for a name of the ancient America’s that may have been used in the Pacific/Asian cultures. If there are any clues, that would be a great help. Turtle Island is too trite...and besides one of the main characters is a two-headed turtle...
But, the science was settled; wasn’t it?
Good to see they’re considering natural climate cycles as being an influence on human migration and evolution.
Toba?
In other words, they are clueless about human prehistory.
Darn, there goes my chance for reparations.
Merkel? Or the french guy?
Getting closer, but the Europeans fled North America once the Indians arrived. So Originally N.A. is the birthplace of mankind.
Whiney and relentless. Love the winning.
I always thought Africa-is-the-birthplace-of-humans to be an invention of guilt ridden liberals. ‘Their contribution to modern civilization is next to nothing.. so we will make something up about humanity owing its existence to Africa’. I am speaking specifically about the continent of Africa, not of Africans who migrated elsewhere.
All politically correct science is settled.
Last time I checked, the pyramids are in Egypt; and Egypt is in Africa.
“Some “Afrocentric” professors have made the preposterous claims that “Africans” designed and built the pyramids, and that “Africans” scooted around the continent in airplanes before “the man” stole their “technology”.”
Sub saharan africans had no math or written language. How could they have designed and built the pyramids?
Well you can reproduce between species. A liger is a cross between a tiger and a lion. A mule is a cross between a donkey and a horse. There are several species that can cross breed. And sometimes the offspring can breed as well. A human may have bred to species that pre-dated humans. Or species that spawned from the origin of humans. We know that neanderthals existed at the same time as humans. We don’t know if they could breed with humans. Or if there were other species that could cross with humans which would explain races and other genetic differences in people even within races.
Darwin suggests that traits of an animal will make that animal more fit than another within a species or even between species. But Darwin does not explain where the traits come form. How the evolution happens. If there is no first human, but rather a group of Humanoids that have the ability to mate with other similar species then traits can get introduced and reintroduced as different creatures mate with others not exactly within their own species. When one element of the mix is added or deleted, you can have a species, a race, or an identifiable subgroup like Swedes are different from Greeks even though both are Caucasians.
The idea is that evolution does not mean that there was a first man and first women. It means that there are almost first humans who mate with humans and less than humans for thousands of years until they create a group that is relatively defined and successful. The less successful beings disappear.
