Single Origin Of Humans

It depends on how far you want to go back in ancestor history.

I think the word "race" is actually referring to "ethnicity" the way it's being used these days.

 

First off. The article is 100% wrong. Modern humans did appear in africa first, but as they left africa, then breed with Homo sapiens (archaic humans), Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis, Homo heidelbergensis, and H. rhodesiensis (and other non-sapiens humans). All of those species and sub species came out of Africa. So the theory still holds up, just not a clean cut as they tell it.

As for the race thing, there is no such thing as race. There has never been anything called race nor ever will be.

From a pure genetic standing, 85% of all variations in genetics occur within a population. Only 8% of variations of genetics occur outside the population.

Which means that about 92% of the time, you have a greater chance of having a genetic similarity between someone 5,000 miles away, then you do with someone next door.

 

We are homo sapiens sapiens. Homo sapiens is considered a archaic species that shows features from all the homo group, including erectus.

You are fun to debate, but I have to point out on itty, bitty, problem with your proof, july 19, 2007.

But fast foward to September 5th 2011, and we find something.

Your turn.

 

Thank goodness for the net, where everyone can be a genetics expert.

We are all human, part of the human race. We are Homo Sapiens, with lots of variations on a theme. Something came before us Homo Firstofus or perhaps some fancy name I did not just make up.

Evolution changed us over the eons and now it is being debated and discussed with endless theories that will be put down next week, as some macaroon discovers something unproven to shore up a claim yet to be discounted.

Whew. Thank the Gods I come from hearty Viking Stock, the bestest race there is. Say anything bad about Vikings, we will pillage you to dickens.

 

Not to nick pick, but we are Homo sapiens sapiens. We are not Homo sapiens. There is a very huge differences between Homo sapiens and Homo sapiens sapiens.

Homo sapiens where anatomically similar to us, but lacked the deep culture we use. The differences between the two species can not be underestimated.

 

But you overlook that in 2011, August as I recall, Etymologists determined that before Homo Homo Sapians, and Homo Sapien Sapien, there were Homo Sapian Homoian Sapious. That species learned to sing and that led to the development of the Cotton Gin and the round wheel.

We will eventually we will evolve to Homo Internetiens.

Excuse me, but you did not fix it. We all know the Internet is taking over and eventually, you will have chips in your brain or perhaps wear a cap covered with festive colored foils. We will evolve and be one with the net.

 

Why would the need to put chips in our brains. It is alot easier to turn your cells into small computers.

Scary version.

Be it chips or other things, it is all good. I say be nice to the Internet because it might not forgive some of the things we say. I love you Mr. Internet, you rock.

 

You're mistaken, I offer.

Evolution has to do with survival and coping with our environment. As a matter of fact, our environment is the engine that drives evolution over time, with its changes.

The internet teaches human beings to ignore the environment, basically, it seems. Yes, there is information available within the internet, but none of that is information/interaction with our planet and it's bio-chemical, atmospheric and other impacts on us as mammals surviving in that environment.

Data is not life. So, any change in the direction away from our organic environment and in the direction of data feeds, etc is degeneration, in my opinion.

 

Me Gusta.

GO THOR!!!

 

You do know I always offer flippant remarks and in this case, quite likely not a serious attempt to offer meaningful data, right? I KNOW the net is not sentient and we will never merge into one life form I'll call InterBob or BobNet in my case.

Do you not read my posts? I mean it is me, Bob Maxey, The Android Forum's Official Crackpot, Banjo Repairman, and Party Planner.

 

Do you mean I please you or I should please you? Are you from hearty Viking stock?

Why would anyone want to repair a banjo? Broken banjos sound better than new ones.

 

Yup, Lordy, never dun heard that one. At least you did not say: What's the difference between a banjo and a chain saw? A chain saw has a dynamic range.

Or . . .

What do you say to the banjo player in the three piece suit? "Will the defendant please rise."

Or . . .

A man went to a brain store to get some brain for dinner. He sees a sign remarking on the quality of brain offered at this particular brain store. So he asks the butcher: "How much for fiddle player brain?"

"2 dollars an ounce."
"How much for mandolin player brain?"
"3 dollars an ounce."
"How much for guitar player brain?"
"4 dollars an ounce."
"How much for banjo player brain?"
"100 dollars an ounce."
"Why is banjo player brain so much more?"

"Do you know how many banjo players you need to kill to get one ounce of brain?"

Or . . .

We appreciate your sacrificing your ass so that we can read through some very interesting and informative stuff in this discussion.

 

Well if you want to argue that, then we are going to have to expand what is human. We will have to include all of Homo, to Homo habilis (Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis, Homo cepranensis, Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis, Homo rhodesiensis, Homo neanderthalensis, Homo ergaster, Homo georgicus, Homo antecessor, Homo sapiens idaltu, Archaic Homo sapiens, Homo floresiensis). We are also going to have to include all of Australopithecus inculding: A. anamensis, A. afarensis, A. africanus, and A. sediba.

Which I am completely fine with, because they where all humans. The simple problem with that theory is that it will be impossible to get any christian to believe it.

 

Many, perhaps most Christians have an understanding and trust in human evolutionary theory. The Roman Catholic Pope, Pius XII remarked (to paraphrase): "..we could live with evolution, so long as the process of
