Do these 9.7 million-year-old teeth suggest EUROPE is the cradle of humanity? [tr]

The discovery of a set of 9.7-million-year-old teeth has led archaeologists to raise questions about the commonly believed 'out-of-Africa' theory of human origins.

The teeth, which were discovered in a former bed of the Rhine river, don't resemble those of any other human species found in Europe or Asia.

The find suggests that contrary to popular belief, Europe may be the cradle of humanity.

Do just a little research.

There is stuff all over the world going back tens of thousands of years. The standard doctrine has humans starting farms not long after the ice age. 9,000 years ago or so.

There are remains of docks in South America tens of thousands of years old. Remains in Turkey easily 15,000 years old.

You are not going to find this stuff on Nat Geo.

Uhm, this doesn’t go back 9,000 years. It goes back nearly ten million years. And that’s for the first ‘time,’ unless you have evidence to the contrary.

See Göbekli Tepe, see the Carolina Event. Look them up and there are lots more clues and direct evidence ... if you have an open mind and are willing to accept new discoveries

Again we are only just now touching the tip of the ice berg so to speak - there are 100% accurate maps of the Antarctic from the 15th Century or so showing the continent bereft of the costal ice shelves - last time that area was uncovered was 14,000,000 years ago give or take. There is lots of evidence ... if one is willing to look.

I don’t know what proof he has, nor do I have any, but i have a very strong belief that there has been a lot that has happened on this planet about which we know nothing.

I am not here to give anyone evidence. You are either interested enough to do some research or not. This isn’t college.

I couldn’t find any Carolina event.
And the Tepe is only thousands of years old
The teeth in question are millions of years old.

So my question is, what is your point?

Opportunity to say, no matter what debates you all engage in. I think we can agree the science is never settled. Sometimes the science is wrong.

Used to be called the Carolina event evidently that particular article is not available under that name any longer.

Try the Carolina Bays that should bring up lots of hits.

Try the Piri Reis map. Back in the day maps were the most-utter-top-secret-eyes-only documents - like SAP now. Only certain ship captains had access or their navigator - just back ground. Piri Reis ois just one of several existent maps - most were destroyed in the Great Lisbon Quake in the 18th Century - tidal wave destroyed the library.

There is no way that anyone in the 18 Century or earlier in modern times could know that a) there was a continent south of Africa, or b) map the land which has been under ice for 14 million years.

The point is that there is much evidence - issuing challenges is just no helpful if you actually want to keep abreast of what is now known about the deep past that was not taught or known when we - you - went to school.

Bones found in a dry climate does not mean they were the first. It just means they did not break down as they would in a wetter environment.

Also just because a particular thing is only 12 thousand years old does not mean it was whipped up over night by some drooling village headman.

You have to actually look and see what the thing is to understand its complexity and sophistication and that Gobekli Tepe does not come from an agrarian society. It could only come from some older civilization which traces are scant and far between - realize that our modern society would be nothing more that rust and rubble in 12,000 years of neglect.

Human society prefers shoreline - shorelines which were 400-700 feet lower than today - all evidence is burred under hundreds of feet of sediment. When the Ice Caps melted - and from much evidence it was a very sudden even maybe only a few days - everything was swept away, gone erased, like it never existed.

See the 1958 Lituya Bay mega-tsunami for a modern example of what it might have been like on a worldwide scale.

In a five-thousand-year-old-man bit, Carl Reiner asks Mel Brooks what he does for a living.
“I was a lumberjack in the Sahara.”
“But the Sahara is a desert!”
“Sure, now.”

Does it really matter where it started since the planet was depopulated by the Flood and everyone alive today traces back to Noah?
