This is either more BS from the Darwinistas or proof that we've been suffering with liberals for longer than previously thought.

Ahhh....diversity...it existed 300,000 years ago.

Cain slew Able, then went off to the hinterland and hooked up with some broad. I always wandered how and who.

I have a question. We are the species "Homo sapiens." We have four races - Black, Caucasian, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Hispanic

Before us was the species "Homo erectus." Did they they have multiple races? If not, why not? If they were a single race...what race was it.

If Homo sapiens is the only species with multiple races, why didn't any previous species have multiple races?

Hey it is hard work faking up all those fossils and making them register as 300,000 years old.

In order to... um, what purpose was that again?

What strikes me is that all other species of humans are extinct and modern humans struggled early on. I consider it evidence that the probability of a technological civilization developing anywhere in the Universe is extremely low.

Early humans co-existed in Africa with human-like species 300,000 years ago

We still do...................

1) Is Naledi really a separate species, especially if the dating is accurate? 2) What if the dating isn’t accurate?

[bgill]

We’re still dealing with those small-brained human-like species.

Hominins are an extinct group of the same genus as humans, the only surviving members of that category today. Man's nearest living relatives, chimpanzees and gorillas, are further removed from Homo sapiens biologically than hominins are.

Wrong!

Wikipedia:

All species of the genus Homo plus those species of the australopithecines that arose after the split from Pan are called hominins.

Thus, modern humans (members of the species Homos sapiens - which is NOT extinct!) are likewise hominins.

Apparently, the author is confused, and believes that hominins are only the non-human members of the tribe Hominini, but in fact it also includes all members of the genus Homo.

Yeah, but how many were LGBTQ? That’s the IMPORTANT thing....

[Feckless]

They obviously didn’t study LA, Chicago, NY, Baltimore, or DC.... still happening.

[MUDDOG]

when Homo naledi went extinct, and why, remains unanswered

They tasted good.

I think they have them confused with the people from the Battlestar Galatica

I studied some anthropology in college and there was a split of homo sapien at one point. The split of homo erectus sapien sapien and Paranthropus has already been determined. Paranthropus was closer to what we understgand as a description of a gorilla at between 4 and 5 feet tall and was a hunter of animals for food. Sapien sapien was tree dweller and came out at night to feed as a vegetarian and other very small things. Both used tools and intermingled. Paranthropus lasted over a million years until food sources changed and it couldn’t adapt. Sapien is what we have evolved into today.

We still do that today here in the USA and Europe.

Meh, “homo naledi” has a standard primate skull (small brain), standard primate hips (non bipedal), standard primate hands (non tool using)... in other words it was a monkey, not an “early human”.

There’s also no evidence they practiced burial. They just found a bunch of their bones in a cave (not buried).
