I don't believe that we have only been on Earth 2-3000 years but 4,000,000? Did the guy have an expired dry cleaning receipt in his pocket? Where are the signs that this guy or anybody else existed? Its a little suspicious that we have managed to evolve society so far in the past couple thousand years while we did virtually nothing for nearly 4,000,000? And physically we are virtually unchanged in the past couple thousand years but we were freaking fish only 10,000,000 years ago? Something about all this smells.

I think I prefer the theory that aliens dropped us here a few thousand years ago to avoid shipping charges on the way to another universe. As soon as they get the tariffs reduced, they will come back and pick us up.

"I think I prefer the theory that aliens dropped us here a few thousand years ago..."

Well, that's what Francis Crick believed. (Co-discoverer of DNA). He understood how complicated DNA is and figured this couldn't have just happened by chance. There must have been a creator. In his case, it meant aliens putting the "code of life" into DNA and somehow sending it out to "seed" new planets with life.

Perhaps the Nephalim tracked it in on their shoes. ;-)

The article does not say that "we" have been here four million years. It says that some *hominid* (i.e. bipedal creature) was here that long ago. That's not the same as saying that humans have been -- nor is there any evidence that we *have* been here anywhere near that long.

You mean besides the fact that bones don't spontaneously form absent an existing animal?

See my earlier reply to DannyTN on that same topic.

Um, no -- from what Cracker Jack box did you acquire your "education" on this topic? Ten million years ago "we" (well, our ancestors) had barely split from the chimpanzee clade. Apes split from monkeys around thirty million years ago. The early primates split from other mammals around sixty million years ago. Mammals split from reptiles around 250 million years ago. Reptiles split from amphibians around 320 million years ago. Amphibians split from fish around 400 million years ago.

So you have made a 40-fold understatement of the amount of time since our last common ancestor with fish.

I submit that it's your science education.

Well that would certainly explain some humans I could name.
