The cave discovered in Central France was sealed away by sediment for 57,000 years, and showed signs of non-human activity. The cave, La Roche-Cotard,, had etchings of animals created by dragging fingers and small tools. However, they weren’t made by humans, who didn’t settle in the area until thousands of years later. There is no way humans got into the cave.
Tools were found in the cave along with the etchings which indicates they were created, not by humans, but by Neanderthals.
It is more evidence that Neanderthals were smarter than originally thought. It is also now believed they later mated with humans, and were able to conceive human-Neanderthal babies.
Not all scientists agree with the findings, and question the dating techniques. Other cave drawings suggest Neanderthals created drawings in caves, but they were much later.
If all this is accurate, it shows creative thought existed long before we thought it did, and they had intelligence similar to ours.
Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens are two different species but all non-African humans carry 1% to 4% of Neanderthal DNA. Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens had a common ancestor.
Neanderthals lived in Eurasia until 40,000 years ago when they became extinct, alongside humans. They showed some sophistication.
The Neanderthals
Their bodies were stockier, muscular, with shorter limbs and larger brains. Humans had more developed prefrontal cortices, associated with problem solving and social behavior.
Archaeological evidence shows they created tools, controlled fire and buried their dead, indicating complex social behaviors and their own technologies.
They had the FoxP2 gene, suggesting they could speak.
The earliest Homo Sapien was found in Morocco. He lived over 300,000 years ago. Today, he would have passed for modern man and fit in on any city street. It looks like North Africa was the birthplace of Homo Sapiens.
Reconstruction of the oldest homo sapien fossil found:
Several years ago, National Geographic ran a genome project. They found that – based on the DNA of a secluded tribe still living as their ancient ancestors did – everyone tested through the project has the same marker as that tribe. It’s backup for the view that modern man was born in North Africa.
All I can say…..(I offer my website for an alternative.) We have entered a asymmetric spiritual war of which we have been forewarned. No man, government, religion, philosophy, etc. can stop what is occurring around the world. And that goes for churches that have fashioned their organizations (denominations) after mans own design, not Gods Pattern for His Church and Families.… Read more »
This was definitely the result of high-level academia studies resulting in typical and total bullschitt. It was performed by PhDs, which stands who have the crentials to not produce low levels of bullschitt, but PhD bullschitt; that is “Piled Higher & Deeper.” Non humans my rat’s bunion. They need meds.
Who the F funds this garbage? USAID? These are the same folks who say there is life on MARS,,,,, maybe that’s where the Neanderthals are…..
What a LOAD of CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!
Pure BS
“The earliest Homo Sapien was found in Morocco over 300,000 years ago.”
Who was searching for them 300,000 years ago?
“They couldn’t be human because humans weren’t there yet.” That is called a “circular argument”….something on which archeology is based. The difference between the “science” of archeology and “stories around the campfire” is ZERO!
That’s harsh. I’m betting at least .0001% of academic stories around the campfire are based on real science. LOL I went back to finish my college degree in my 40s, after working for years with scientists and engineers. Young, naive students, and myself as well, looked up to professors with amazement—they thinking the professors were brilliant and thinking the professors… Read more »
When I took my PhD, I was the oldest graduate student in the college of science at TAMU and it came 21 years after my BS. I’ve spent my career showing that ALMOST everything I was taught as an undergraduate wasn’t even close to reality. AND THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY A HARD SCIENCE. Poking at archeology is like “pickin’ on a… Read more »
Hard to know.
A few possibilities: parents? groupies? time travelers? mobsters? IRS? hungry or horny Neanderthals? Mormons?
No No No. That’s gotta be wrong. The Bible says this planet is only 6,000 years old.
No it doesn’t. But it does say the creation we know and live in is six thousand years old.
No, it really doesn’t say how old creation is and genealogies only give us a hint of how long man has existed. And even the genealogies are not reliable, because in listing genealogies, grandchildren are listed as “sons” because in genealogies, sons and descendants were not always differentiated.but what it does say is this. God created all life, and man… Read more »
If I recall correctly, it was Bishop Ussher, a 16th century English clergyman, who claimed the date of creation was 4003 B.C. Not the Bible. I learned that in a Biology class back when colleges educated instead of indoctrinating.
