In celebration for this magnimonious event, 200 slaves have had their hearts hacked out in honour of Drakkan the Butcher, God-Emperor of Dhoregnohb.

*NEWS FLASH*

Wheel Discovered by Dhoregnohb wise men!!!!!!

We applaud these relatively amazing advances in technology.

I thought I would let you know, but the proper progression of technology is:

Homo habilis:
Primative Stone Axe

Homo ergaster:
More advanced Stone Axe

Homo heidelbergensis:
First modern man, mastered fire, spears, ranged weaponry.

Homo sapiens:
More advanced version of Homo heidel. Cro-Magnon.

Actually, it was neandertal that discovered fire.

Austrolapithecine- apeman
Neanderthal- caveman

ack! fire!!!

norm mad!!!!!

Here, have a bomb...

PRESIDENTE RUSTITO APPLAUDS ACHIEVEMENTS

Self-proclaimed "l337 haxX0r l33d3r" Rustito of the Principality of Ruschi announced Thursday that he applauds the efforts achieved by mankind on this day. Said Rustito, "I can't believe this stuff. Next thing you know, we'll be playing golf on the moon!" Rustito then took a stick and proceeded to imitate a golf swing, in which he accidentally struck secretary of state Joe Makoney in his already-broken nose. Makoney stated, "you stupid

No we have not yet found fire. But we now have primitive tools. We have figured out you can use rocks and sticks to hunt animals with.
You use rocks to kill the animals then you eat them. (Raw)

Whitter: The Neandertals were not our ancestors. Consider them our cousins. They broke off from our line. Erectus was also not one of our ancestors. Austrophelecines was a very primite hominid.

Actually, the new evidence say that they mixed with homo sapiens to make homo sapiens sapiens which is we are today.

Its not new evidence, it is a theory. We have analyzed neandertal and sapiens DNA, there is no conclusive evidence that they combined. Besides the fact that Homo sapiens originated in Africa. Homo neanderthalis originated in Europe.

And Australipithicines were the ones that made the discovery of primitive tools.

What about the fossils of the human/neandertal hybrid children.

I should know this cause I do lots of research on this matter just to create a timeline of history from the very past to the present.

There is no evidence that is what they are. They could very well just be another species such as erectus (many of the features of H. neanderthalis were more reminiscent of Habilis then Ergaster. Sapiens shares none of these characteristics.)

Sapiens shares none of these characteristics.)
Of course our ancestors did not look like them. Its called evolution.
Our own descendants won't look anything like us either.

Its not new evidence, it is a theory. We have analyzed neandertal and sapiens DNA, there is no conclusive evidence that they combined. Besides the fact that Homo sapiens originated in Africa. Homo neanderthalis originated in Europe.

But they have found that all humans dna is different so much that you cannot really tell who is descended from who. You cannot even use DNA to tell ethnicity with any certainty because all humans have DNA from all the races inside them.

Actually, we can tell that we all originate from a specific African tribe. Mitochondrial DNA only mutates I beleive once every 10 generations...

The alternative theory which is also supported is that man evolved everywhere in the old world at once.

Mitochondrial DNA proves that we all originate from Africa. Everyone originating everywhere at once, and still being specially compatible, os 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% improbable...

Africa is only the place they think we came from. DNA and fossil evidence points that all primates originated not in Africa but in Eurasia.
Perhaps in Mesopotamia where the garden of eden was originally located.

The other problem is that the paleoarcheologists who have dominated this field have always held a bias for Africa and as such they refused to support efforts to find human ancestors elsewhere in the world.

Shagnia - I am an atheist. Please do not press religious subversions such as the 'Garden of Eden' on me.

They beleived that Homo erectus, which originated in Asia, primarily French Indonesia, was an ancestor of Homo sapiens, until new evidence was uncovered making that nearly impossible.

What evidence are you talking about.

Mitochrondrial DNA. Plus, ergaster is currently beleived to be our ancestor. They beleive it is this:


Homo habilis
\/
Homo erectus
died out
Homo ergaster
\/
H. heidelburgensis
\/
H. neanderthalis
died out
H. sapiens

We aren't homo sapiens.
We're homo sapiens sapiens.
Homo sapiens were our most direct ancestors.
Just as our descendents will be homo sapiens sapiens sapiens.

Its like programmese;
Humans (our ancestors)
Humans 2.0 (us)
Humans 3.0 (our descendants)

the second sapiens makes us a subspecies of Homo sapiens. So, we ARE H. sapiens, just a subspecies of it.
