Cue the shrieking Valkyries.

i also heard a theory about the country of Georgia as an origin point

Africans may have descended from animal millions of years ago but I suspect I did not.

My person theory is we evolved separately / geographically and there were interbreeding. I believe God created all of us in his own way.

I also think we have evolved / devolved multiple times as events put pressure on us and all species.

As old as the Earth is we could all be the second or even third iteration of hominids.

Hah! My people birthed civilization.

(Still think it was the fertile crescent.)

Whatever this new evidence is, the PC folks are not going to like it at all.

Now we know where the uni-brow comes from, prehistoric bulgarians.

Curly Q Link. The missing link.

This does not surprise me. It is a widely accepted theory that winters in the northern hemisphere drove the evolution of human intelligence. You could not just forage day-to-day in the northern hemisphere and expect to survive the winter without advanced planning, food preservation and storage and the ability to predict the weather and changing of the seasons.

Richard Lynn (Kanazawa, 2013; Lynn, 1987) proposed that because European and Asian environments feature extremely cold winters the inhabitants of these regions historically faced greater challenges to survival than Africans. He claimed that these survival challenges would have created selection pressures for greater intelligence. Africans on the other hand live in tropical conditions all year round and hence did not need as much intelligence.

They found the fossils in Bulgaria and Greece, but are naming it Graecopithecus?

Why are they privileging Greece? Sure, Socrates and Plato were Greeks, but Spartacus was a Thracian. Why not Thracopithecus?

These were probably from people the other time around.

There is a fish in the Atlantic that has human like teeth.

This proves that we are descended from mermaids.

[I want the USA back]

So the entire theory up to now has been demolished by two bones. The theory couldn’t have been very solid!

[Chode]

so i'm a white boy after all

With the theory of Evilution you can say almost anything and say you are a scientist and people will believe you.

[Gamecock]

Isn't this just awkward!

[Flick Lives]

The discovery of the creature, named Graecopithecus freybergi...

I remember them from "Star Trek Deep Space 9"
