    Hominid Footprints on Crete Could Change Evolutionary Theory For Good

    Discovery seems to be largely ignored.

    Hominid Footprints on Crete Could Change Evolutionary Theory For Good



    ...What [Paleontologist Gerhard Gierlinski] discovered along the Mediterranean shores of the town of Trachilos would rock his world and send some researchers who were convinced that humans evolved solely in Africa, into angry denial, and resulted in many of them casting aspersions on his jaw-dropping find.

    ...The team of experts came to the conclusion that indeed, the impressions had been made by ancient human ancestors 5.6 million years ago, making them by far the oldest footprints ever discovered in Europe.



    They had been made during the Miocene era, at a time when the entire Mediterranean Sea had dried up. The scientific world was faced with the notion that these small footprints on the Greek island would now be the earliest-known human-like prints in the world — far older than the prints previously found in Africa, from Laetoli in Ethiopia, which were made 3.66 million years ago on a volcanic deposit there.

    ...In an exclusive interview with Greek Reporter, Ahlberg was asked if there has been any further feedback — or blowback — since the 2017 publishing of the article, and if this discovery has been deliberately ignored and shunted aside since it may be politically incorrect or go against the “Africanist” theory of human origin....
    Another team found "single lower jaw found near Athens and a tooth plus some other bits and pieces from Bulgaria." Nothing else has been found.

    We need much more of this ...:

    https://www.newgeology.us/presentation32.html

    And no more of this unfounded dogma that came mainly from the sensational journalism of the time (what's new?) that all but shorted out the brains of scientists in that field.

    Evolutionary theory is a bit like a chocolate ice cream in the hands of a two-year old: it’s going to get applied everywhere, but will anything useful be achieved in the process? https://theconversation.com/darwins-...erything-46146
    On balance, no.

    The same can be said about the field of genetics. Swap out the words "chocolate ice cream" with"weapon of mass destruction" and you have it.


    These ones are just incitefully (my word) arrogant and deceitfully $#@!-sure in their damn headline profundities based on just about debatable nothing, like it doesn't matter at all to them. They're the scariest of them all for the enormity of their potential damage from lies that don't concern them. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2651812/

    There are competing theories to Out of Africa. They have been disfavored because of claims of racism.

    Hominids may well have sprung up in several places around the world - there's no reason they should not have. However, the only hominid ancestors whose descendants are living today as modern humans originated in Africa. All other species and "lines" died out hundreds of thousands, or in some cases millions of years ago. Genetic paleontology has established without any doubt that all humans living today are the descendants of certain African tribes, especially the San Bushmen, who migrated to other continents between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago.
    Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.” - Robert E. Howard

    I firmly believe that the real truth about ANYTHING dating back thousands and of course millions of years is still unknown...whatever they said was so 75 yrs ago has changed today and by the same token what they say it was today will change again

    Well, yea, because there is always more evidence to be found if it hasn't been destroyed naturally.
