Evolved in western Africa with no fossils? Let us hope it is not true ( https://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/02/09/darwinism-hope-pray/ ) , but if it is, let us make sure it does not become widely known

It's amazing that people managed to live in Alta a few thousand years ago. It's cold and dark in the winter: the sun sets on November 25, and doesn't rise again until January 17 ( https://weatherspark

Youtube video April 11, 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRL0gi-8Ovk&ab Thank you [ Algis ] for this comment about Powerpoint. I reported it to say that I have age 92, and people my age don't lik

Pro wrestling and paleoanthropology are designed and maintained for public consumption. They have rules and practices that ensure their continued existence and success. In 1989, due to a legal court c

To better understand what goes on behind the scenes in paleoanthropology, read about kayfabe on Wikipedia. Here I will point out some clear examples of kayfabe in this remarkable science. Happisburgh

As a geologist with much experience finding fossils, I am certain that Lucy is a hoax, analogous to Piltdown Man ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piltdown_Man ) : Graduate student Tom Gray planted fake

Human evolution in a special place is a model that scientists try to avoid. It’s like thinking that humans came from another planet. But all the evidence points to that. Humans have weaker muscle fibe

Linguists are tracing the origins and evolutions of languages ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Distribution_of_languages_in_the_world ). The evidence they use is independent of genetics, but t

I now agree with Michel Odent that we probably evolved from 'Marine Chimpanzees', and my term 'Marine Ape' is less appropriate. I will now try using the terms 'Marine Chimpanzees' and 'Marine Paleohum

Paleohumans, including Denisovans and Neanderthals with ear exostoses ( https://groups.io/g/anthropogeny/message/217 ) , probably lived mostly on marine foods. Sea levels have risen about 120 meters (

In the Bioko model, all Homo species (including Homo erectus, H. denisovan, H. neanderthalensis, and H. sapiens) were paleohumans that evolved fro chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) that had become trapped

From sea depths in the Gulf of Guinea (easily available on Google Earth) we see that a land bridge between Bioko and mainland Africa would emerge whenever sea levels drop to about 60 meters below the

In science, the favored interpretation is the one that is the most simple, but still fits the evidence at hand. More complicated explanations are always possible, but are less acceptable. This princip

Where did paleohumans come from? See Message 165. ( https://groups.io/g/anthropogeny/message/165 ) -- Paleohuman.com ( http://paleohuman.com )

Most people seem to think that humans evolved with dark skin in sunny Africa. Then, when paleohumans migrated out of Africa, they evolved lighter skin, which was selected for by the need to produce vi

Chimpanzees, gorillas, and all other non-human primates have signals of sight and/or smell that indicate estrus — the time for successful mating. Marine mammals do not have these estrus signals. They

With his neatly trimmed hair and beard, this 'Asian caveman' is made to resemble a chimpanzee. But cavemen didn't have electric hair clippers to cut their head hair and beard in this way. Scientists h

The continental-drift hypothesis was ridiculed and ignored for decades (see krilldrift.com ( http://krilldrift.com ) ) until advanced paleomagnetic technology suddenly proved it. Likewise, the aquatic

Let's talk about why apes and humans speciated, not just when they speciated. The human primate is bizarre, and probably speciated due to bizarre selection pressures. See my post 223 ( https://groups.
