  • “Science doesn’t proceed or get better with established ideas. You have to challenge”
    Recently a team of fossil hunters working in Kenya came upon a set of fossilised teeth and a series of bones. Their find set in motion a chain of events that ignited excitement across the scientific world, for if they were correct in their findings, not only would they have found the oldest human ancestor, but much of the received wisdom humankind’s evolution would have to be rewritten. This programme is the story of their discovery and the implications it has for understanding of how we split from the apes. Dubbed “Millennium Man” by the press, he is twice as old as the most famous skeleton in the world “Lucy”. The remarkable link between Millennium Man and humans is his ability to walk on two legs, overturning previously accepted scientific opinion on why, how and when humans began to walk. As Professor Senut who worked on the project points out, “Science doesn’t proceed or get better with established ideas. You have to challenge” and Millennium Man seems to be challenging an awful lot of accepted science. Documentary first broadcast in 2001.

      Timeline - World History Documentaries can you tone down on the background music next time? it's really interesting to try and follow the narration, yes we know this is ancient history but you don't have to bombard us with loud tribal music in the background to get the message through, it makes it harder to follow the story.

      Show the right timeline . watch is video . ruclips.net/video/HlYjt_9hLsk/видео.html. The oldest bones and skull found today proves to be human shape not ape or chimp shape . They are proving the older the bones found the more human they are. This proves that Humans came first and them later evolved into chimp like animals . If the oldest bones show human shape teeth with small canines and now chimps have large canines you have to say that chimps came from humans not the other way around . Kenyanthropus platyops 3.5 to 3.2 million year old hominin fossil . Human shape skull and teeth . Older than any chimp or ape found . This proves humans have no link to chimps or apes in any way . If anything it proves that chimps have evolved from human shape . The bones prove that over the years the canines of chimps have grown larger not smaller over time . The table now has to be redrawn starting with a human shape first and evolving into a chimp shape animal . This proves its not possible for man to have evolved from chimps but that chimps evolved from man .

Little trilobite type creatures just had two little pits on their head with a light sensitive cell at the bottom of each. There was no lens, retina or cornea. But from such simple beginnings evolved our visual organs. Interestingly the ocular fluid of our eye today has the same salinity as the ancient seas from whence it evolved.

    Thanks for this video. In the 1970s, I took several elective classes in human evolution and anthropology. At the time, the conventional wisdom asserted that upright posture and bipedalism arose out of necessity when apes moved out of the trees into the savanna. I disputed that paradigm, and wrote a thesis arguing that upright posture and bipedalism probably developed in the trees, using gibbon locomotion and anatomy as my examples. Needless to say, I was thrilled to hear others have reached the same assumption.

I believe that Orangutan behavior also shows this and the first time i came across that theory, I knew from experience that it was correct so I think we were walking upright in the trees and this by luck proved superior on the ground for many reasons

      What would happen if Staphylococcus aureus evolved into a cockroach?
      First you need to have legs, and you'll need to have good hair on them so that you can crawl anywhere. It should have eyes, it should have a mouth, it should have wings, and it should have antennas. Not only that, but the internal organs and the brain underneath the nerve cells that can coordinate the senses will have to emerge. Of course, there are many, many more complex things that need to be located, but that's it.
      For the things described above to occur, the amino acids would have to be arranged to build the organs and the genetic information would have to be stored through DNA. But have humans ever observed any new generation of genetic information even once?
      No cases of increased genetic information have been observed.
      The famous atheist and evolutionist Richard Dawkins, shown in the video below, admits that the complexity of life, or the increase in genetic information, is the biggest mystery in life history, and that no single organism is created by chance, but believes that evolution is possible with the accumulation of very little luck. claim . However, he answers the creationist's question with 10 seconds of silence, asking for only one instance of little luck, one increase in genetic information. And when the video was released a year later, I hurriedly write a long article.
      Of course, there is no case of an increase in genetic information in his long article, which he wrote a year later. I can't give This is because there have been no cases of increased genetic information observed in humans.
      “Studying all aspects of mutations at the molecular level shows that mutations only reduce genetic information, not increase it. ..neo-Darwinian theory should explain how information about life is accumulated by evolution. The essential biological difference between humans and bacteria is the information they possess. All other biological differences arise as a result of differences in information. The human genome contains far more information than the bacterial genome. Mutations cannot accumulate information because mutations cause information to be lost... Not a single mutation has been found that adds even the slightest bit of information to the genome. It also clearly shows that the millions and millions of mutations do not occur as the neo-Darwinian theory requires. Perhaps the kind of mutation they require will never happen. The fact that no such information-enhancing mutations were observed means more than just failed their theory. This is evidence that refutes their theory. This is where we seriously challenge the new Darwinian theory. ” 4
      - Lee Spetner (Physicist / Ph.D. at MIT, Professor at Johns Hopkins, Harvard University)
      “Mutations only cause changes in information that already exists. There is no such thing as an increase in information, but rather, it usually has only harmful consequences . There can never be such a thing as a blueprint for a new function or a new institution. Mutations cannot be a source of new information.” 5
      - Werner Gitt (Director of the German Federal Institute of Physics and Technology)
      Rather, science constantly observes a decline in genetic information . In other words, the mutations that evolutionists put forward as evidence of evolution were to decrease information, not increase it. This is evidence of degeneration, not evolution.

Think about it would you be willing to die for Lucy? Look how many Christians lost their lifes for Jesus they knew who he was they seen the resurection the healing the prophecy's. And one thing the Roman's were very good at was cruifying people that was what they were known for. And they had guards Jew guards and Roman guards blocking his tomb they seen him with his glorified body and they seen angels. And when Jesus died it was 12 noon and it turned black for 3 hours and there was a huge earth quake. They have so many documents from people in that time reporting on it there is so much proof research it and you will see. And the only one I know of in history or anytime was Jesus who could raise himself from the deal and many other people and they have evidence of everything.

      Those other bones were each found miles apart and at different depths. Those facts are conveniently left out.
      Also facts are that this "discovery" has been widely disputed even among anthropologists and argued that it's merely a collection of extinct ape bones scattered miles apart. Now, had the Kenyan discovered a nearly intact, nearly complete skeleton with a skull.....which has NEVER been discovered btw. It's a difderent story then.

    I do have two points of contention with the conclusion that these are the most likely direct ancestors of humans. It could be convergent evolution or this could be an offshoot of the group that we actually originated from. Just walking upright and human-like molars is intriguing and a possibility but not settled just the best we have right now.
    Added the robotics section was kind of silly otherwise I would expect a lot of mammals to be bipedal. My personal idea and it is just an idea, is that tool use led to bipedalism. Having your hands-free would obviously greatly facilitate this. The issue would be if these early hominids used tools extensively so far back.

      @Ant Parker You clearly don't understand the time scale that evolution works on. You won't see evolution in just a small number of generations. It takes thousands of generations to produce observable changes, and immense amounts of time in the case of more complex organisms. As a species, we haven't been recording history nearly long enough for us to have had the time to experience and document evolutionary changes from a first hand perspective. That's why we utilize paleontology to gather data from a wide range of generations of any given lineage to be able to pinpoint and confirm evolutionary changes which take place over a large period of time, in a way that ultimately allows us to find when a change of species occurs. The fossil record isn't lying, you're just ignorant. Read an accredited book on the Theory of Evolution before you start spouting off this kind of drivel; then maybe you won't sound so foolish.

      @saphorr 2 года назад +2

      I mean, obviously for every new adaptation there must be *something* before: innovation always builds on what is present before. But the adaptions never happen by themselves in preparation for some transition to a new style of moving/eating/whatever, they happen because they are themselves useful in the moment.
      Animals developed lungs before they moved on land: what does "on land" mean? Living all your life on land? Amphibians (e.g. frogs and salamanders) still aren't there. If it's just spending lots of time on land, that started way earlier with fish which needed to drag themselves from puddle to puddle.
      Birds had wings before they learned to fly: well, what does 'fly' mean? Powered flight, e.g. flapping in the air and going higher? Then yes, they did have wings, but those wings were already used for gliding.
      The theme here is that the adaptation precedes the new ability, but only because the adaptation offered some benefit by getting the creature *some* of the way to having that new ability. For us humans, crawling is better than sitting still, and walking is better than crawling. We don't sit still for 14 months after birth and then suddenly pop up on two legs and start racing about.

    Love the line-up of hominin generations. Definitely aids in visualizing the immense age. AND the extreme rarity of these fossils is amazing. A couple hominin fossils per million years until we get to about 3mya - and then a little bit more frequent. Not much.
