Stringer says confirmation will have to wait for fossil finds, but he believes the Norfolk hominids were related to people from Atapuerca in Spain described as Homo antecessor, pioneer man. He believes they became extinct in Europe, perhaps replaced by another early human species, Homo heidelbergensis, then by Neanderthals from around 400,000 years ago and finally by modern humans.

This sounds like a pretty rare find. I wonder why they didn’t try to remove the original fossils...maybe the ‘laminated silts’ were not solid enough.

This is impossible. The Earth is only 6000 years old...

With this find and things recently found in Asia and the Caucuses, I begin to dought the theory that everything started in Africa. I question that modern man came out of Africa. I think there were people developing elsewhere, but that good climatic and other conditions erased the proof.

Coastal and inland waterways. Bays and brackish waters. Abundant food, grasslands to hide in, easy navigational references.

I have long questioned the “out of Africa” idea. For example, which people have slanted eyes? And why would people develope slanted eyes?

Easy to explain the squinted eyes... Sun glasses were not invented yet!

Just the last phase. I believe it has been replinished many times over. It sort of alludes to that in Genesis. Men wrote as they wetre directed from their limited perspective in the Bible. Earth could be a testing ground for experimentation with different variations of species as far as we know.

My understanding is, not an African start to things, but rather competition between neanderthals in the colder climes in Europe versus cro magmon in Africa. When the climes warmed, it favored the cro magmons infiltrating into neanderthal territory, eventually wiping them out.

Going to be hard to confirm this “find” when the tide washed away the supposedly almost a million year old foot prints.

That alone was just one the fatal red flags that should have clued in the God-haters it was another fraud. Such as the direct conflict with the alleged dating of mitochondrial Eve, Adam, the pictures of the prints that look like sneakers, etc.

The hatred of God and the Bible makes some so gullible they will believe anything it seems.

What a tragedy for the British Isles. A classic example of reverse evolution of the current population.

The entire theory of evolution is based on six skulls,in fact we know more about Dinosaurs than about Homo-sapiens.

Do literal bible thumpers know that these threads have an “AVOID” warning only visible to non believers? The forum colors them magenta.
