Humans re-united to fight extinction

Shoes.

Then bicycles.

Then drive in movies.

There's a logical progression here if you take a long term look.

[muawiyah]

In a little bit older version of Ma-Nu and the flood, there are, of course, a number of humans on board the boat, but most of the passengers are simply "sages" or "demigods" of a sort who understand all the arts and skills.

Once Ma-nu and his wife begin making babies, the sages pass along their knowledge then disappear back to Heaven.

So, yes, 7 personages, not all of them human though.

Do you have an "older version" than that?

[onewhowatches]

The BS meter just got pegged on that one. How would small groups of humans living across a large continent find eachother to “re-unite” 70K years ago? Cell phones??

Perhaps rather than scattered all over, a small group of humans survived in a few -- maybe just one -- protected areas.

[lonestar67]

Oh wait, maybe if we all re-unite today on Global warming we can avoid extinction again.

What a ridiculous subtext.

The mega-colossal eruption Mt Toba in Sumatra may have caused climate change about 70,000 years ago. Estimated 2800 cubic km of erupted material could have partially blocked the sun.

Sumerian Zi-ud-sura? There are something like 20 flood myths around the world.

The basic idea is that a bunch of apes got tired of living in trees and decided to start walking around on the African savannas on two legs and start acting civilized. That is, with 500+ lb predators running around all over the place, with the 500-lb predators making 45 mph on four legs while your best on two is around 15, and the predators can see in the dark and you can't. Oh, yeah, forgot the thing about proto-human infants screaming their heads off periodically like human infants and small children do, to let the predators know where the human groups were.

Neat theory, isn't it?

You must have a better one? Could you share it with us, please?

Sounds about right to me. It's amazing what an advantage a little superior brainpower is.

It turns out that this article is not about people uniting in holy matrimony to outbreed the deadly bubonicplanus plagueparenthood. Based strictly on Wendy's comment, the article, which I may or may not have read, may or may not touch on the autoevolution of the telecommunications system, which curiously displayed its own Intelligent Design aspects.

Astonishing, I know. You see, 72,000 years ago, seashells evolved spider-web-like cords to help keep them together in colonies. Then, 70,000 years ago humans discovered that they could be stretched and would carry sound, long before tin cans with string were invented.

Or something like that.

Maybe.

I wasn't there.

Neither were the evolutionists.

/sarcasm.

Didn’t they have caves back then where men lived and mitochondrial trade was first invented just before the revolutionary wheel?

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

The revolutionary wheel was invented sometime after the non-revolving wheel, or “rock” as it was originally called.

Rumor has it that a lightning strike created the Fire-stone Tire and Rubber Corporation and it was at that point that the wheels of commerce began to turn.

HISTORY 101

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

CLASSIC!!!

Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, Marines, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

[potlatch]

I am very familiar with “Conservatives”. I live in a mid -sized town in south Texas where people are....NORMAL!! LOL

[ASA Vet]

Wasted your music again huh?

[NewLand]

No hidden agenda here...nah. None, whatsoever.

[Lady Jag]

Amen.
