No wonder I feel so tired.

What a crock.

“New study suggests, some evidence, although human fossils are sparse, those of Florisbad and Hoedjiespunt are seen as transitional to modern humans.” Nonsense.
Note how the science behind the date estimates is never given. Pure conjectural unadulterated crap.

And now Sweden is over-run with cave-men Muzzies who steal their treasure and rape their women!

I’ve got your, ‘Evolution’ Right Here!

Assumptions based on assumptions, layered with assumptions and topped off with lots of assumptions. No one ever mentions that one reason why the early bones are found in Africa could be because there has never been any civilization to dig them up and discard them for agriculture or city building.

I’m leaning towards us being an engineered animal. We have so many differences from any primates past or present that I don’t see how scientists call us primates with a straight face.

Scientists have found hints that a "ghost" species of archaic humans may have contributed genetic material to ancestors of people living in Sub-Saharan Africa today.

And Hillary was there!

My tin foil hat theory of the day, but perhaps many different homo-species were seeded/engineered here and homo sapien won out.

You cannot base findings on such a small genomic sample. 7 individuals who lived from 2300 to 300 years ago? Seriously?

MY species originated about 6,000 years ago.

Based on centuries of observed behavior it is apparent that modern man walked out of Africa...and left the stupid behind.

In this case, you likely have one tribal unit of a dozen folks, led by ‘Larry’, who got peeved with living conditions, the heat, and continued warfare between other tribes (which is obvious even today).

And some of them are still in Congress!

As Terence McKenna used to say about the big bang theory, all the scientists ask is that they be allowed “one free miracle”. :-)

[ealgeone]

Yep! Divinely created at that!

[aimhigh]

Every week, for decades, we read another theory. After a while, you know all the theories are just crap.

[SuperLuminal]

Hogwash! Haven’t these morons watched Battlestar Galactica, a definitive history of the human race?
