As reported by AP (emphasis mine):
Israeli archaeologists said Monday they may have found the earliest evidence yet for the existence of modern man, and if so, it could upset theories of the origin of humans.Just a bunch of man-originated-in-Africa deniers, if you ask me.
A Tel Aviv University team excavating a cave in central Israel said teeth found in the cave are about 400,000 years old and resemble those of other remains of modern man, known scientifically as Homo sapiens, found in Israel. The earliest Homo sapiens remains found until now are half as old.
"It's very exciting to come to this conclusion," said archaeologist Avi Gopher, whose team examined the teeth with X-rays and CT scans and dated them according to the layers of earth where they were found.
He stressed that further research is needed to solidify the claim. If it does, he says, "this changes the whole picture of evolution."
The accepted scientific theory is that Homo sapiens originated in Africa and migrated out of the continent. Gopher said if the remains are definitively linked to modern human's ancestors, it could mean that modern man in fact originated in what is now Israel.

racists ...
ReplyDeleteArchaeology is racist. I blame Teh Patriarchy!
ReplyDeleteIt might never be proven, but I suspect man originated right where the Old Testament says he did. One doesn't have to believe the Bible (though I emphatically do) to think so. As with the Noah's flood, you've got a whole lot of very different cultures across an incredibly large region with amazingly similar cultural recollections about these things dating back thousands of years. If it weren't for the knee-jerk hostility in academia towards anything that might lend itself towards proving the Bible correct, one might think that such common recollections probably had some common origin in fact.
But then, I'm too stoopid to believe that the earth is about to burst into flames (or freeze, as it were, depending on whichever environmental theory we're supposed to religiously accept this week). Forget I said anything.
On a side note: I'm not exactly how, but I'm pretty sure these teeth, the killer Jew shark, and the rapist Jew witch-kitty are all connected.

Yuk, yuk. Well, if you're not a wit, you're half a one.
Yuk, yuk.

I give the Arab nations in the area about a week before they start claiming its a Jewish conspiracy of some sort and deny it. That is unless they could somehow prove those are Palestinian teeth.
ReplyDeleteThe guy's name is ... "Gopher"?
ReplyDeleteSurely you jest.
paul, the professor's name isn't Shirley.
ReplyDeleteNot my name. Uh ha ha! I get it. Is, "I will not serve!" included?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Professor.
"Teeth are often unreliable indicators of origin, and analyses of skull remains would more definitively identify the species found in the Israeli cave, Mellars said."
ReplyDeleteIt's a significant find, but it's not changing anything just yet.
"The LEFT - taking shit for being right since long before you were born."
I've seen a lot of inane leftist slogans, but you really capture the whiny yet self-righteous victimhood and short, selective memory of liberals better than most. You could try to work in the bitter paranoia of the truthers or the anti-war crowd, the smug religiosity of greens, the timeless thuggishness of unions and anarchists or the identity politics of an establishment liberal. But those are more flavoring; what you really need is to tap into that instinctual demand for action that a real movement liberal thrives on. Earth FIRST, ACT NOW, WORLD CAN'T WAIT, etc.
"The LEFT - taking shit for being right since long before you were born."
ReplyDeleteI suppose you have a point, I mean so long as you ignore communism, naziism, fascism, eugenics, and the 100 million plus who have died as a result of leftist beliefs.
Everyone knows that man had to orginate in Africa. How else could the left argue that Obama is God?
ReplyDeleteThey will probably explain it away by claiming that some prehistoric monster vulture carried the homo sapiens carcass a couple thousand of miles and dropped it there in Israel or maybe he just pooped out the remains while flying over to visit some relatives.
The LEFT - talking shit about being right since long before you were born.
ReplyDeleteFixed.
Let's not call them "LEFT" any longer, call them what they are, Communists. Once you get past all the flufferry, that is what they are, they just don't have an army yet...Some of them lately have admitted it, no, they have bragged about it.
