    IF the stuff in this video is correct, and these people are not quacks. Some of the artifacts that we have found in the last 200 years seems to point out that humans in human skeleton form anyways have been around for at least a million years.

    Now that does make you wonder how is that possible? It even makes you question the carbon dating procedure or findings.

    So what’s your take on it?

    You are all alone. If you have been falsely accused of RAPE, DV, PLEASE let all men know about the people who did this. http://register-her.net/web/guest/home

    Well it depends on how you define human being. If you include all the known ancestors of homo-sapians earliest found use of fire was 1.5 million years ago with homo erectus.

    So perhaps that was where the start was. Not just tool use but use of and understanding of how to make fire then cook / preserve food.

    Could also be said of language which allowed for easy dissemination of knowledge from generation to generation via stories, religion or tribal custom.

    It’s hard to say how long our species has been here. Our ancestors left behind clues: bones and primitive tools. Scientists believe that the Northern Hemisphere (Europe, Asia, North America) went through several ice ages. And whenever the glaciers melted, ancient humans would explore those regions.

    During the last 10,000 years, people have done some amazing (and horrible) things. We went from making stone-tipped arrows to smartphone apps. I wonder how long humans are going to last, as a species. The families with the most kids are usually those who have no plans for the future. Those that care about the future usually get educated and acquire a steady job before they have kids—and many of them have just one or two kids. Some people have a “f~~~ it” attitude about life—and they’ll have a bunch of kids without any plans to get a job or upgrade their social status. So maybe the Idiocracy movie (as funny as it is) is a real possibility.

    I’ll give us 100,000 more years…if we’re lucky. I’m guessing our brains will increase in size and have more layers in the future—for processing large amounts of data.

    Let’s say we’re able to get a vision of the future 1,000,000 years from now. Homo Sapiens will probably evolve into another species. I imagine that their bodies will still look similar to ours, but developed in a way to get work done efficiently. Or maybe robots will do most of the labor, and the advanced humans will just program all activities with a computer.

    Judging from the bone structures of previous species, such as the Neanderthals, I’m pretty sure the women of the future will not look pretty to us—but they’ll be very attractive to the men of that era. Certain traits might be genetically engineered. Couples may be able to choose the colour of an infant’s hair, the future height, and change the sex before it is born. Perhaps the pain of childbirth will be eliminated too. Humans might be grown in…

    THE MATRIX?! Oh s~~~!

    According to the bible thumpers, humans have been around for only 6000 years.

    I have a peace of petrified wood that is heavy as f~~~ so its pretty old . You can clearly see cuts and a wedge in perfect shape in threw the bark . You can see a wedge where it has run the length as to cut four rounds of a tree to leave the center square .

    As a hobby i work with raw timber and somebtrees after been cut the bark keeps growing back over .

    This piece i have shown a few people . A couple of people i have shown without saying anything sbout have picked it up .

    It proves there were someone in oz with tools long before captain cook .

    In western Australia years ago there was the remnants of a viking ship that was discoverd .

    The piece i have blew my mind when i first seen it . Amazing wonder who they were .

    In the cut that runs length ways behind it is like another groove that is thin behind the cut

    Watch a few videos about the evolution of man. You’ll have your answer. Just stay away from all the f~~~ing UFO bulls~~~…

    That’s an interesting question. May I take another slant on this?

    Our species – homo sapiens – is scientifically shown to be an evolving one. We have a specific DNA and other traits that respond to our environment.

    The last million or so years saw many different variants of our species die out – those that could not adapt or were not smart enough or even possibly lucky enough. Survival is sometimes about luck than anything else but in our case I believe we made our own luck.

    The current form is what has survived all the physical and mental challenges to now. We will change as we adapt to our ever changing environment and possibly to technology as well.

    i would like to quote from a lecture by Sir Martin Rees, who is a Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics at Cambridge University and the Astronomer Royale.

    He was giving a stunning lecture called ‘Dark Materials’ in honour of the late Professor Joseph Rotblat. In the course of this astonishing talk he voiced this passage:

    “Most educated people are aware that we are the outcome of nearly 4 billion years of Darwinian selection, but many tend to thin that humans are somehow the culmination. Our sun however is less than halfway through its lifespan. It will not be humans who watch the sun’s demise.

    We need to have a more cosmic perspective on the word ‘human’ when considering the evolution of a species that may span creation as we know it.

    Yumbo I agree with what you said but I also think we evolved the way we are today because we mixed heavily with the likes of Neanderthals, Denisovan, and other archaic humans. I think rather than extinction, they were absorbed into our genome. Our mixture is what caused the mutation.

    Yes thank you – I believe you are very correct in that. I am looking at the term homo-sapiens and that we are not a specific group or a culmination. We are always evolving. Our definition and appreciation of ‘self’ as homo-sapiens is an illusion and temporary.

    Thank you gentlemen. I was rather puzzled when they said human beings. But upon closer inspection, the information being delivered was misleading. They are humans, but not homosaipeins.

    However, it seems like older human species still possessed the ability to manufacture things in intricate detail. I am not talking about the stones as yes, concrete and stone is a great building material, Cheap, lasts a long time, recycles, insulates etc.

    The problem for my logic mind is this device: Antikythera

    See the thing that did not make sense to me was the timeline vs technology.

    then you find a simulator.
    http://members.chello.nl/o.veenstra3/vrml/yaas_info/yaas_info.html

    then you see it live

    See at first I was thinking that this stuff was really high tech. Course, I am having issues just repairing a plastic part that has broken on a toilet.

    But as I studied it. It’s not that hard to make gears out of copper.

    And as far as I can tell, there may be some kind of energy related to the earths magnetic field (tesla’s theory basically as I understand it) but as far as I can tell, he still had to get that power from a substation of some kind.

    So basically, all this stuff that seems like advance technological innovation may just be nothing more then clever craftsman and ingenuity of ideas.

    I kept trying to find for example any leads to anything that was like a transportation system for example for trade, and I could not find anything out of the ordinary.

    As I did more research, some things like the iron pipes in China don’t seem to make complete sense till you find out those were trees at one point. (Possibly)

    What drove this question had to be the correlation of when a society becomes civilized, its only a matter of time till it breaks down.

    And when it does, they always seem to go after the knowledge contained in books, writings etc.

    If the same cycle seems to repeat itself, then it seems that the only logical conclusion is to keep everyone in a state of panic about each other and war in order to move the human civilization forward instead of collapsing with having outside forces kindling the turmoil in different directions.

    This would also point out that during our human like ancestors evolution, and even in the last 10,000 years approximately, women and reproduction and families may have been the downfall of all advanced modern society.

    If we take a look at how humans fight over land, resources and power. It seems that anything that is great is wanted by others. With that in mind, humans always need to have some kind of boogeyman. Weather it is a god, a demon, an unseen enemy, or ideology in order to continue some kind of evolution.

    This brings you to present day. What is the biggest danger to mankind right now? That would be women IMO. If that is true? Then the next step of human evolution is going to be replacing men with women. For the most part this is already going on. And in turn, men need to do the same. Or limit women in their own lives for their own sakes.

    This becomes a problem with reproduction. Fix that issue, and you pretty much end war. End fighting. And you take out the biggest enigma man has ever faced. Basicly, women have held back men in order to prioritize their own selfish wants. And women as far as I can tell have never on the majority been wonderful for men. Or boys for that matter.

    If men did indeed have have women as true partners, then it stands to reason that men would not only be able to flourish achievement at all levels unheard of in the same human lifespan. The things that drag down common man today would either vanish, or cease to exist all together.

    This would also mean that women as they are doing now are basically trying to reverse the roles in order to maintain some relevance today. But what I see happening more and more often is that WOMEN actually hold each other down and dumb each other down and sabotage each others progress and advantages much more than any man ever would.

    It seems in part of my research that women as they start to evolve, (and there are some great women in history) tend to be the first ones to be weeded out.

    This would mean that as long as men do things for the sake of female attention and validation, men are doomed. And if females start having the same kind of moral and ethical values as men, they seem to be well praised for this. But are often undermined by their own female peers.

    In conclusion, evolution it seems is not only discouraged. But violently culled back in order to maintain some kind of female/male balance. So by treating women well, you are in fact not only going against nature. But you are in fact stabbing your own self in the back.

    On a side note, with every advancement mankind have made for women to live better lives and do less work. Have more leisure time, or grant courtesies to them not afforded to men per say, we have just ensured that women not only do not evolve. But we almost roll out the red carpet for mankind’s destruction. So it perfectly explains why women have been ideally suited to be such good manipulators of men the normal honest and hard working man.

    Bascily, females are mankind’s natural or natures version of predators in the food chain despite other forces such as bacteria or viruses. And that would explain things such as STD’s.

    Weird. But women are really man’s worst enemy not in lore. But actually, it can now be said that at least from a scientific logical perspective, women may be man’s greatest weakness. So to fix this problem, you take away the two things that they do for men, and then you basically have solved all the problems.

    Artificial Women and men. Artificial wombs. Men have just solved the biggest problems to a man’s life. Women would be unable to manipulate man in order to stick in her own evolutionary roles.

    The only problem now would be to remove the state’s power over a man’s children. If that is taken care of, then essentially every other problem is manageable.

    Lastly, there is no more fear from having families other then to take care of them. And that’s not a problem. That is man’s greatest biological imperative. To leave something behind of real value that solely is the effort of his own hard work and an extension of his soul.

    It does not end poverty, or end drug use, or crime, or anything else out there. It just makes this kind of outcome of failure manageable in that it does not grow by taking care of the problem. It keeps on shrinking.

    What an amazing world that would be.
