What Happened Before History? Human Origins

Humans. We have been around for a while now. When we think about our past we think about ancient civilizations, the pyramids, stuff like that. But this is only a tiny, tiny part of our history.

I love that note that life demanded more of early humans not just physically, but also mentally in many ways. It‘s easy for current humans (and I suppose that‘s always been the case) to be arrogant about historical humans‘ „intelligence“, and they‘re always confusing raw education with the ability to remember and abstractise the information that is available to you.

Hello. So you believe the claims that some populations of fish, frogs, reptiles, mammals and more could (and did), over generations, learn to speak, read and write English and all languages, play baseball and football, design airplanes and computers and more, if you just 'give it enough time'?

[@matteomastrodomenico1231]

[@ForumLight]

@@matteomastrodomenico1231 Hello. If it's science, one wouldn't need to believe in it. They're free to believe in whatever they wish - but they're insisting we ignore all of science and all of biology and call their beliefs that only happen in their imaginations science instead.

[@matteomastrodomenico1231]

@@ForumLight Exactly, you just need to understand it. You're the one ignoring science here.

[@ForumLight]

@@matteomastrodomenico1231 Hardly. No evolutionist in the world can prove the following is wrong nor can they address any of it and just throw ad hominem and run away, which is all evolutionists do. Others will see and notice how evolutionists are all about deception. Science is about the repeatable portion of reality, not things like common descent evolution that contradict repeatable reality, can only be believed in, and they call reasons to believe in it 'evidence'. The bottom line is the topic of the origin of all biological diversity is beyond the scope of science as beliefs, and reasons to believe in it, are all anyone can bring to the table. Here's what *is* science: A.k.a., well documented and published even in evolutionists' own papers (when they happen to include something that's actually observable, repeatable, verifiable biological, scientific fact when they're telling their common descent stories and why they believe in it) that demonstrates common descent from a first life form is anti-science. Science shows that it's observable, repeatable, verifiable scientific fact that, no matter how many generations go by, no matter how much "change in genetic composition during successive generations", no matter how much "change in allele frequencies", no matter how much "development of new species", no matter how much "natural selection acting on genetic variation among individuals", no matter how much "adaptation", no matter how much "mutation", no matter how much "speciation", no matter how much "migration", no matter how much "genetic drift", no matter how much "insert other claims here" no matter how many generations go by, ALL populations of: fish remain fish amphibians remain amphibians, canines remain canines, felines remain felines, reptiles remain reptiles, birds remain birds, viruses remain viruses, animals that never had lungs to breath air do not evolve lungs animals that never had hearts to pump blood do not evolve hearts animals that never had eyes to see do not evolve eyes animals that never had brains do not evolve brains animals that never had mouths do not evolve mouths living things that never had a reproductive system do not evolve a reproductive system animals that never had (insert organ here) remain living things without that organ, and so on. There are many more such groups. Science shows that the "common descent from a first life form" evolution (some call Darwinian evolution, some call theory of common descent) is anti-science. Evolutionist can never address these facts - many unfortunately just fall back on ad hominem, showing how they're seem to be really about deception that's contrary to actual science.

[@alpha6games751]

@@Rokaize there are literally thousands and thousands of years of civilizations we know nothing about or how they achieved certain things. It’s a common thought that early civilizations weren’t as advanced etc but they are starting to find evidence to the contrary. There are things that don’t add up. Especially after the Roman’s destroyed massive amounts of history and rewrote a bunch of it. There is evidence of sophisticated architecture that was actually already in areas far before even some of the oldest civilizations settled there. Some places we still have no idea who built them and how. It’s pretty arrogant to think that humans existed for thousands of years but just in the last few hundred we achieved more then every single civilization put together? Naw. It’s more likely humans had a reset at one point and we don’t know anything.

[@teteeheeted]

Fun fact, even after 4000+ years of civilization, there are still uncolonized tribes, who haven’t even heard of the rest of the world

[@SofiyaRaj]

One interesting thing to remember is, despite being isolated from bigger human society for thousands of years, evolution still happened more or less the same way to all us. Those isolated people still evolved to look similar to us and they have more or less the same mental and physical abilities like us. However, an actual person from 20,000 years ago would have drastically different mental and physical abilities than us and the isolated tribal people of today.

[@teteeheeted]

@@SofiyaRaj well shared culture and similar survival techniques allowed for similar but slightly different evolution, and funny enough 1/5 of all Asians to this day have roots tracing back to Genghis Khan, as he eliminated the game and mated with like, every women in a 2000 miles radius, so 1/5 of all Asians have very similar roots and evolutionary traits, but you can definitely tell where people’s evolutions changed, but for the most part due to humans sticking to familiar practices, evolution of culture and hunting strategies was slow, and spread faster than it changed, so likely that lead to evolution more or less being the same in most aspects

[@GamerPro-wk8bz]

Do you mind listing few? I am curious and please make sure they are real and you can provide some proofs.

[@teteeheeted]

@@GamerPro-wk8bz just look up that one tribe off the coast of India, they are notorious for killing a man in a helicopter by throwing spears at it, the Indian government put out a mandate making it illegal to go to the island

[@SofiyaRaj]

@@GamerPro-wk8bz Sentinelese people. They live on North Sentinel island in the Bay of Bengal. The Indian government prohibits any travel to this island and the tribe living there are protected. This is mainly because of their violent reactions whenever someone tried to establish contact with them. In order to keep them safe from our diseases and risk their extinction, the government decided to just let them be. It's illegal to fish or sail within 5 nautical miles of that island. Though there is no proof of the Sentinelese being cannibals, you better not go there if you have a will to live. The Sentinelese have been isolated from the rest of the world for more than 50,000 years now. I have travelled to Andaman and Nicobar islands which are closest civilized places to the north sentinel island. I was fascinated to learn about the Sentinelese when I was in Andaman. You should definitely look it up. There's even videos of them shooting arrows at helicopters.

Apart from a few secluded cultures, most humans would fall under the "wuss-bag" category. I've never for a second thought one morning, "hey, some giant lion didn't eat me alive overnight...cool!".

I would appreciate that if they were more inclusive.

All of humans throughout human history to the present were not Europeans. Most of present humanity is not European. This presentation combined with a focus on the Roman and Greek empires would really put this channel in line with white supremacists narratives of civilization.

See kids, cooperation got us here, not competition.

[@CDL95]

To a degree. But those early weapons came about because of Competition, with both nature and other humans. Then those cities prospered under strong leaders, who became strong as a result of competition. Competition in humanity creates a form of technological and social evolution, where by the less favorable disappears over time and the more favorable prospers. People co-operated in that they came together to compete as a group against another group.

I know it's hard for you north american dudes to realize this, but it's for real. Study some anthropology and you'll see. The human history came a long way, and competition only became the "supreme value" of some societies in the 18th century. Right about now, this kind of thinking is getting in the way of our progress. Peace.
