In the Gravettian period (33,000-25,000 years before present), hunter-gatherers ate the food available in their local surroundings. That included mammoth in central Europe, horse and reindeer in Britain; and seafood on the Atlantic or Mediterranean coasts of what are now France and Italy. During the last glacial maximum (27,000-23,000 years ago), the very cold and dry climate forced people to retreat to southern regions. The Iberian, Italian and Greek peninsulas in particular were increasingly populated.
The fossil remains of four individuals from Serinyà, Spain, were not scientifically investigated for a long time due to doubts about their age. Researchers at the University of Girona have now used radiocarbon dating to determine that the bones are 25,000-27,000 years old. The very well-preserved bulk collagen from the bones made it possible for SHEP researchers in Tübingen to carry out isotopic analyses—this in turn makes it possible to determine what the people studied mostly ate.

6-8,000, yes.
Not everything a Scientist says is true.
Fire had been around for at least a few 10s of 1000s of years-people developed a liking for being warm and cooking food pretty early on...
True, but with all due respect, that is not one of those things-but you are certainly entitled to believe as you choose, as is everyone else...
A cousin’s husband is an archaelogist-a paleoindian expert-even some paleoindian sites in the Americas are 20,000 + years old-some may be older-it appears that people came to the Americas from what is now the area of Australia, and even Europe when the sea levels were much lower...
What? No grog! How boring...

Evidence for the “microscopic traces of wood ash” as controlled use of fire by Homo erectus sapien, beginning some 1,000,000 years ago, has wide scholarly support. Estimates based on fossil evidence put the most recent common ancestor of humans and chimps on Earth anywhere from 2 million to 10 million years ago according to Asger Hobolth of North Carolina State University using DNA comparisons. So there was a span of, at least, 1M years before fire that man was consuming food.
Fire was put into use around the time Paranthropus, the other human, suddenly disappeared. For those who don’t know of him, he would be the forerunner of what we now call bigfoot. It was very tall at around 10 feet, total body hair, and a day hunter. Sapien was a night creature and hunter. He was too much of a wuss to face the day animals. Unlike paranthropus, he lacked speed, long teeth and fierceness. Casualties and death were a real occurrence when the sun was out and they were too. Sapien was a tree dweller.

Yea everyone can believe as they wish. As you probably know the Bible contradicts that theory. At least from the point of view of time.
No rods and reels.......................
When the northern hemisphere was covered in a mile thick sheet of ice you could walk to the Americas from Europe..............
Lol... Yep. :)
I do not believe the Bible contradicts any timeline. We do not know how the time of God. The word day in genesis means a defined derived of time and not an earthly day. We cannot hold God to our understanding of time. That is putting too much of mans understanding onto God. I can believe in both a long or short creation. We will know those answers when we are with him but my guess is it won’t matter. Creation timeline is not a salvation requirement, yet we can marvel at the creation.
Or dynamite, dynamite works too. Y’know, in secluded areas.
Yep... I often wonder why everyone still thinks that early man did not know how to float and had to walk as a prerequisite and only know method of travel. Or that there was no way possible they could have survived migrating along the edge of the ice caps eating Seals and fish.
Even in the South. In the South the Circumpolar current would have floated man from Australia or New Zealand to South America in just a few weeks. And as you say with sea levels lower the distance apart would have been even less.
Man floated over the Wallace Line to Australia about 55,000 years ago or more, and we have living examples of this survival ability of living on pure ice skirting the ice cap possibility with the Inuit. Yet we are still stuck on “The only way possible was to walk”.
I wonder who was the first person to figure out that meat roasted over an open fire tasted absolutely delicious.
Whoever that person was should be recognized as one of the great inventors of our time.
Something has to explain the uncomfortable facts of Geology. There is a very serious contradiction once you understand Geology.
I absolutely agree. In fact even today against popular propaganda there are primates that do eat raw meat even though they are primarily vegetarians.
Thanks for mentioning that-it is what got archaeologists interested in researching whether people could have gotten here from Europe, Asia, etc much earlier than thought to leave their artifacts behind as they went about the business of hunting, gathering, trading, fighting over territory, etc.
It has always made perfect sense to me that when the cold and/or other environmental conditions thins out your food supply, you walk or get into a canoe to find a warmer place with more resources-people have never been stupid about survival, and have always liked to explore and trade, no matter how far back in time it was-we really aren’t much different now-just better at creating technology to compete...
At the Catholic university I graduated from, the prof of Theology was a Jesuit priest-he was very popular because he answered questions in a sensible, pragmatic matter-when asked about the difference between the Biblical and scientific timelines concerning the Earth and the historical events/records, his answer was “God is the Supreme Being-the Creator and architect of all things-who knows the length of a day in the Eye of God?”
The Hebrew word for “day,” “yom” I believe it is, refers to a normal 24 hour day throughout scripture. Nothing hard to understand about it.
Words mean things.
Well if there is a contradiction then geology is incorrect.
It is a lot of surmising and interpreting anyway.
Plenty of great respected scientists see no conflict. Lots of web sites with wonderful articles reflect this. Icr.org, crev.info, answers in genesis...
