I remember reading years ago that some anthropologists feel that Australian Aborigines more closely resemble Cro-Magnon humans than any other group alive today.
I think you probably men Homo-Erectus. The Aboriginies are nothing like Cro-Magnon. Some of the Aboriginies alive today have brow-ridges that are even more severe than was Neanderthal Man.
Thanks for replying Blam, I didn't realize that this was a three year old thread when I first posted. It may well have been Homo-Erectus although I personally think Aborigines are a more modern type than that. Their morphology is fascinating though.
All the features used to define archaic and extinct humans can be found in someone alive today. My theory is that we are all only one species and that's why these features are still with us today.
The Hobbits are some strange 'humans'. They are thought to be from the Homo-Erectus line.
The discovery raises obvious questions about the diversity of the human family, such as whether undiscovered human-like species might survive today. Are we really the sole human custodians of our planet? Could the existence of Homo floresiensis rehabilitate persistent rumours of undiscovered human-like species elsewhere, notably the orang pendek of Malay folklore? Could cryptozoology come in from the cold?
Maybe all those stories and sightings of little hairy wildmen in the area are true.
indeed.
Seems like there's Something about folks wandering the forum looking for things to be upset and rant about.
Personally, it's fascinating to ponder origins . . . social forces etc.
Have you joined the National Geographic DNA project? I have. Not cheap, though. $100. Someone helped me out on that.
I wonder if any Altanteans came over to America....

Have you come across any confirming sources about the
"galactic plain crossing" super catastrophe?
Some sort of intense gravitational area or some such that our solar system crosses through every XX,000 years with super devastating results almost wiping out all life on the planet . . .
Super solar flares and solar winds scorching earth; causing pole shifts; the equatorial 10 mile buldge snapping back to spherical with super devastating results of oceans sloshing around obliterating ALL coastal life for miles inland all around the planet; volcunism going berserk; winds over 200 mph; 1/3 atmosphere being blown away; . . .
Was a group of cross disciplinary scientists on C2C about it a week or so ago. Then another scientist . . . supposedly headed our way 2008-2020.
Any DNA known from Kennewick man yet?
Probably. They probably were the pyramid builders:
Voyages Of The Pyramis Builders
There are more pyramids in Mexico than all the rest of the world combined.
No.
Don't forget about the Atlanteans after the city/island was gone.
That is an old hypothesis from the Merry Prankster days. Since the Milky Way rotates in 200 million years, the 20,000 year effect is bogus. As Ian Punnet said last night, he has often filled his C2C hours with interviews about absolutely nothing.
Good. Tell me what your DNA says and I'll tell you where you originated in the world.
Who could forget the Atlanteans? Most escaped the disaster, and they are still with us but they had to leave their code books behind so they don't actually know any more than the rest of us now.
Most of the fellas who are educated in and study in this area doubt that there ever was a King Arthur. (Baillie, Oppenheimer, Sykes, etc)
What do I know.
You could be right.
But this has a very different . . . set of . . . stuff about it somehow. About 4-5 different sources saying essentially the same thing or a piece of the same thing.
Thanks for your kind reply.
