    Here is what I see has happened to many who have been seduced by Darwinism. You were taught certain fundamental truths as a youth. You were instructed in the sciences, in mathematics, physics, geography, history and biology by teachers whom you respected as a youth, whom you admired and looked up to. And because as an impressionable youth you admired, respected and looked up to these people, and much of what they taught you was true, when they introduced the Darwinian theory of evolution to you, sort of slipping it in with algebra, chemistry, biology and astronomy - the classical sciences, then you accepted it also without reservation, you didn't question it, you swallowed it whole since these people were your mentors and you trusted them, almost revered them. Usually it was introduced to you in science class with some Disney like animation showing lightening striking an ancient pond, then cells emerging, then fish swimming in a sea before they crawled out onto land and lost their scales and became amphibians that became reptiles that became birds and mammals that became monkeys that became humans. It was all very skillfully done, and there was usually very little actual science involved; you were told a story, much like a Sunday school Noah's Ark story, only this story left out God of course, and because it was in science class it must have been true. It never occurred to you that your teachers who told you that evolution was a fact as real as the Laws of Gravity might have themselves been deceived in their youth when they were in science class, and then they introduced that very same deception into your life, all with the very best of intentions. So you accepted evolution as being as legitimate as all of the other sciences, your teachers certainly wouldn't lie to you, and then over the course of time it became your Weltanschauung. As time progressed and you grew older, a sort of intellectual pride clouded your worldview, and also affected, or more precisely infected your understanding of earth's history, of man's origin; and you became too sophisticated to believe in the straight, literal truth of Genesis. In your youthful hubris you substituted Darwin for Moses. Over the course of time Darwinism became more entrenched in your mind. It became a dogma; it was your world view through which you interpreted reality. Part of this springs from Hellenism, the Greek philosophy that is the cornerstone of much of modern thought.

    Dr. Chris Stringer lectures through his research has answered a lot of questions for me. Looking forward to more light on the fossil records. The decline of Neanderthals could have been suffering from male sterility which caused females to interbreed with Homo Sapiens, and this along perhaps the scarcity of food and climate change.

    New name, art least for me... New aspects and insights... Great! Thanks! Might it be that some evolution did really happen by hybridization of different subspecies/ tribes that independently had developed different traits and, in a secondary step, these traits were merged, and developed into really new traits that one wouldn't have imagined before? A similar principle how plant engineering uses F1b hybrids to generate a desired set of traits that wouldn't be achieved through continuous breeding...

    Apes and humans split ftom a common ancestor. We know this from the genes. But what caused us to separate.? And , in turn , become bipedal. I believe it was when we chose to stop living in trees. When we chose , instead , to live in caves. We did not stop using trees. We still climbed up for food and to temporarily escape predators. But when we had our food...and when the predators gave up and went off to pursue easier meals...we would climb down and go to our caves. Where were could huddle safely in large groups. Large enough to drive off even the worst predators. That's what separated us. And it worked so well....we still live in caves today. ( yes...We build..our caves now. But that's just progress.) Cave dwelling in large... safety in numbers...groups. That's what separated us. And started us on the path to today.

    Adverse environmental or other conditions would more severely affect a smaller population of Neanderthals. In the USA, hybrids of African and Caucasian Americans are regarded as Black, resulting in a relative increase in the proportion of African Americans in the population. If Neanderthal Sapiens hybrids were considered as Sapiens instead of Neanderthals (possibly shunned by pure Neanderthals), regardless of level of admixture, then Sapiens would have increased as a proportion of the population. What is your opinion that a common ancestor of Sapiens and other Homo species migrated out of Africa, evolved into the separate species, followed by Sapiens migrating back to Africa?

      I'm sorry, but are you using the bias, racist and illogical ideology of the jim crow era as an example ?. Jim crow science is the very definition of delusion and bias. The one drop rule basically states 1 drop of black makes you black. What it actually means is black blood is seen as a taint and sub human, thus one drop corrupts superior blood and the child assumes the inferior parents racial stock. The reason why this racist ideology still exists is because partly, people like you defy science, logic and reason says otherwise. Be proud of who you are entirely. Why listen to racist people, break free from jim crow laws. Black people are literally the only race of people that say black plus anything is black. Chinese dont do this, whites dont, Mexicans don't, Indians dont. Its a self esteen issue. All groups of people, including Africans have clear definitions on who they are. I beg you and most Americans, please stop acknowledging and following this racist ideology, its unscientific, iilogical ans racist to the core. Its onlt purpose was to perserve white purity.

These Social media platforms, forums, and reviews, NOW are full of FAKE news, people, experts, stories, pictures, graphs, Ai, conspiracy theorists, gossip and words of other people's mouths, deniers, mentally damaged people, nut cases, stalkers, the uneducated, semi educated partial book readers, Supremacists of ALL human races, colour, Religion etc, click baiting cash grabbers, attention seekers, Trolls, Arguments/Debates/Anger, even Politicians BS, from every countries; thanks to the Good and Bad of technology(Even a trained monkey/Dog probably can log on line, type and press send, nowadays). Always, go to the Professors, PHD, Masters degree educated people for serious information, or source from top established Universities around the world and take social media as a joke, some good tips/information, for a laugh; to pass your day.🇬🇧

    Macaques have a distinct separate lineage and are represented by native Chinese people today, not everything about humans is Africa exclusive in origin, you can see this with genetic data, you don’t need fossils to see this, science is dumb with holding this obvious information available to see in genetics. With blood samples from Chinese people and macaques and you cannot miss the evolutionary heritage between the two. Basic science investigation. Africa exclusive human evolution is complete bollocks. Global warming is global not Africa exclusive. Unqualified people with imagination could guess this, scientists do your jobs, prove it not parrot fashion confirmation bias repeated.✌️❤️🇬🇧

    Speciation -- interbreeding is all you need to know. People may look strange, but if we interbreed, we're all "us". Anyway, we have absorbed the Neandertals anyway. This morphological test smacks too much of Linnaeus. We now don't have to rely on often misleading morphology but can use ancient DNA. Which seems to show that there is no "them" and "us" with the Neandertals. At least for people outside Sub-Saharan Africa, Stringer's h. sapiens and Neandertals are both ancestral groups -- whatever we think they look like.This view of the Neandertals fits well with Stringer's idea of a composite ancestry. Why exclude the Neandertal conrtibution?

    Humans are the spirit of the earth. All plants and animals are humans who lost their spiritual development thus could not shape shift back into the humans form. Status quo(the mess we are in) science is slowly moving to these as the common ancestor of chimps and humans is looking like an upright walker. Chimps followed their emotions or luciferin urges thus lost the human form/temple that God Acts though in a free way as long as one developes.

    Having seen volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer's reconstruction of the impact of the Campi Flegrei supereruption in Italy, dated 39,280 +/- 110 years ago, I think his hypothesis for the disappearance of the Neanderthals needs to be taken more seriously.As si recall, the ash plume travelled up into Scandinavia and as far east as Ukraine.

      My understanding is that the jaw shrank condensing the teeth giving us our overcrowding issues today, but that the lower jaw shrank or recessed slower then the upper developing into a chin. I’m assuming it’s all related to a shrinking mouth with a not so quickly (if at all) shrinking teeth.

    Have the studies been done on homosapien fossils that show a pattern of more shared DNA with Neanderthals and Dinisovans the further we go back in time -- and also showing no shared DNA in the homosapien fossils we think precede our interbreeding with these other hominids?

Also, the first Homo Sapiens could have had similar IQs to that of the native Australians. Lower IQs, but still very capable in their environment. SPHEREMOTOR, the future of electricity.
