I do not question an evolution as a process (itself), and I never did. I have already pointed out (in my previous posts) that I am interested in Homo Sapiens evolution. #2 I submitted PC computing for the following purpose : - we (Homo Sapiens) have developed and created a computer, and we have all the data on that subject - we (Homo Sapiens) have not developed and/or created ourselves, and we have a very little data on that subject Along with the progress in Science and Technology, (I hope) we would find some answers to Homo Sapiens's Genesis. | |

A documentary I haven't gotten aorund to watching: Becoming Human: Paleoanthropology, Evolution and Human Origins Hominid Species Here's the tree so far: Human Ancestors Hall: Tree A timeline: https://www5.nationalgeographic.com/...hic/atlas.html I'd link you to some scholarly articles, if it wasn't for the fact that you would have to be going to a state college to have access to them for free-are you willing to pay money to get into the real research going on in biological anthropology? Quote:
Data certianly isn't "little" when it comes to our(homo sapiens, SPECIFICALLY) development. Now the origin of early man is another story, but homo sapiens is not early man. Tell me: Do you know of any homo sapiens fossils that stretch back to the same time as the earliest man? You never answered my question about evolutions "limitations", nor have you answered my questions concerning there being "little to explore", nor have you answered my quesion about data on when this "speculation" starts. Why are you ignoring them, when they are in DIRECT response to things you have said, and are in no way inflammatory in nature? | ||

![]() Homo sapiens Location: Houston, TX Posts: 2,065 | "an evolution"??? So you were informed that "the Evolution" was incorrect; that "evolution" is sufficient, and you respond with "an evolution"? Please pay attention. Quote:
By the way, for the second time, in biological taxonomy, the genus is capitalized, the species is not. Thus it is Homo sapiens. Please try to learn at least the basics. Please pay attention. Quote:
In fact, you are wrong. We do not have "all the data on that subject." We have a few subjective recollections of major developments. Most of the hardware doesn't even exist anymore, much less the software. Thus, we have stories rather than data. I worked in the field for 25 years, and some of my programs were used for about 20 years. Just a couple of years ago I worked with a former colleague and found that he was still using accounting algorithms that I developed more than 30 years ago. But I can't give you "all of the data" about any of it. Quote:

Of course, we have found many answers about the genesis of H. sapiens. Again, it is a matter of the fact that you don't like the answers, or that you are too lazy to educate yourself. Would you like to learn? It seems that you scamper away when I respond to you. Is it that you don't understand what I am saying? Or maybe it is that you are afraid to face the issues.

I followed the links. What makes you think I was not familiar with that information ? Here is the link for the latest discovery : - Skeleton sheds light on ape-man species - Yahoo! News #2 Are you suggesting I am suffering due to manic amnesia and/or mental, psychic disorder ? :-) We know all about computers, since we are "the Creators". That is a huge difference. We have no reliable, unquestionable data on Mankind origin. What am I to debate, then ? That is exactly what Technosoul already wrote to you (not quotted). The Science and Technology must be on much higher level (which we are lacking of, today), in order to verify the data on Homo Sapiens. #3, #4, #5 See #2 We speculate on our alleged origins. Therefore I have my reservations on Homo Sapiens Genesis. An example : Ezekiel's encounter with God. Was that really "God" ? Check this link : - Forrer: Ezechiel-Faehre I believe that we are the result of genetic experiment, while our alleged "ancestors" have not much in common with us (in reality), except they existed, dwelt, occupied, ect. planet Earth. | |

If they are entirely seperate, why are their genes/forms almost entirely identical to ours except in very paticular distinct ways? Such a relation seems to imply genetic kinship, do you not agree? | |||||

I do not think Homo Sapiens has its roots linked to "Lucy" and/or alike. #2 The difference : - we have no clue on our origin - we know all about computers "The Creator" is a core factor. #3 Read the Bible with concern to Ezekiel. You will find his encounters with "God" along with descriptions, events, ect. #4 There is no such data. Except for some speculations, I have no definitive answer to that. (We need to develope a technology in order to manipulate time, space, ect. and I think it is a matter of time we will accomplish that task - coutersy of computer technology.) It could be true. However, those guys had not developed almost anything, except for farting in caves, rocks, ect. and/or scanning their noses. | |

What you think about "Lucy" is irrelevant since you don't know much about the subject. Clearly you don't understand the concept of transitional forms. You see, no one claims that "Lucy" is ancestral to H. sapiens, or as you clumsily express it, "has its roots linked." Of course "Lucy" is a single fossil specimen of a paleontological species, Australopithecus afarensis, and that species was more likely not on a direct line of descent to modern mankind. After all, it's been some 3 million years. Quote:

Right. In other words, you believe things for which there is no evidence - Bible, space men, etc. Quote:
You don't seem to have a definitive answer for much of anything. Just a lot of non-knowledge and beliefs. Quote:

:-) For n time : - try to figure out the etymology for Homo Sapiens (Hint : not English language origin - including etymology itself) #2 Kindly post the origin for Homo Sapiens, please. Neither assumptions, speculations nor gibberish, acceptable. Data that clearly points out and/or unquestionably indicates it, only. (Royal Stockholm Academy would be delighted, at least, not to mention all the planet Earth's inhabitants.) | |

I am not a typist. Thank you :-) #2 That is not the issue, here. Religious or Scientific appraoch ? I am not interested in any of them. Just clear data, only : - who are we or what are we, along with the origin None of us has the data on our origin, except for some speculations, assumptions, ect.

Neither Science nor Theology has the answer for Homo Sapiens' origin. You have no answer to my question, regardless of your relentless and/or senseless efforts to portay yourself as highly educated individual in almost all the fields. As a matter of fact, no one has the answer to my question. What your post is all about, then ? Last edited by Rainbow; Sep 27, 2006 at 05:59 pm. Reason: Auto-Merged Consecutive Post | |

![]() Homo sapiens Location: Houston, TX Posts: 2,065 | Was that English? You seem able to follow convention in correctly using italics for a biological species, but you seem incapable of learning anything new. For the 4th time, in biological taxonomy the genus is capitalized, the species is not. Thus, it is Homo sapiens. Your failure to learn does not reflect well on your intelligence. Quote:
But you haven't answered my question. Please list every one of your ancestors leading all the way back to Adam. It should be easy since you think it is only a span of about 6000 years rather than the span of years you are requesting. Trying to help you learn. You don't seem interested. I'll give you some data of which I am aware. Several skulls and other fossils were recently discovered at Herto, Ethiopia. These skulls are at the very extreme or just beyond the range of human variability in several characteristics. In these characteristics, they resemble the extreme ranges of variation in older, archaic hominids. The Herto fossils are 160,000 years old. Moreover, in the same area of Ethiopia, fossils that are about 190,000 years old have been found that are completely within the range of variability of modern humans. Thus, it is easily apparent that a highly variable population of humans lived in Ethiopia during that period. Many quite modern human fossils, that have been dated to around 100,000 years ago, have been found in the Levant. It seems that these populations co-existed with Neandertal populations in the area. That is followed by the many examples of Cro-Magnon man that have been found in Europe. Cro-Magnon man is indistinguishable from modern man except that Cro-Magnon had a statistically insignificant larger average brain size. Cro-Magnon man first appeared about 40,000 years ago. Of course, other evidence of Homo sapiens has been found throughout the world since then. So there you go. The origins of Homo sapiens, since all of the above have been classified as such. By the way, did I mention that you are off topic? Can you read the topic of the first post?

Remarkable expression :-) "Certainly more educated than you". This sentence (alone) indicates something quite opposite. #2 Who is Adam ? Do you mean biblical Adam ? If "yes" then you can not be serious, by taking biblical Adam literally. Other than that, I know all my family ancestors names, reaching times even prior Columbus' discovery. I find no reason to publish that information. #3 Is there a particular reason you assume I am not familiar with the subject you are trying to help me with ? You may be rested assured, I graduated a high-school. P.S. - What is the reason to underline mistyping, among other off-topic activity ? Yes, I typed the word "portay", instead of "portray". What is so exciting about it ? - Homo Sapiens does not mean "wise man", as you posted. I am not going to participate in sort of academic debates and answer you word-by-word. It is good for kindergarten audience, at local pubs, ect. I do it exclusively, this time only. I post these few examples, so you can follow up and find all other answers on your own. I hope all the "irregularities" have been cleared up. No more word-by-word technique is going to be applied. Complaints ? to yourself. | |

After high school, I graduated 5 more times from colleges and universities. That's why I suspected that I am more educated than you. Quote:
Besides misspelling, you also misuse words. You seem to be quite a slow learner. Your use of the species name is incorrect. This will be the 5th time that I have instructed you in the most basic knowledge. The genus name is always capitalized while the species name is never capitalized. It is common scientific usage and has been so since the mid 1700s. I am familiar with the binomial system of scientific taxonomy due to the fact that I used the system frequently while earning my B.S. and M.S. degrees in biology. The origin of the taxonomic binomial name for mankind, Homo sapiens, comes from Latin. (Sometimes taxonomic names are latinized Greek, English, or other languages, or place names, or even a person's name.) It is homo meaning man, and sapiens, the participle of the new Latin (i.e., not classical Latin) verb sapio, sapere, sapivi. The participle is sapiens, sapentis. In Latin usage it carried the meaning to know, to think, to be wise. Thus, in English, Homo sapiens means "thinking man" (notice the participle), or "knowing" or "wise man". I am familiar with this because a minor in Latin is a component of one of my 5 graduations after high school, my B.A. degree. Quote:
