Oh, this one’s a doosey… *Disclaimer* if you are not prepared to think, be entertained or not open minded DO NOT read this post!
Here we go, do You believe in evolution?
Today I read a very interesting news article on yahoo that was reported on by Daniel Estrin of the Associated Press, it said that Israeli archaeologists may have found the earliest evidence yet for the existence of modern man, and if so, it could upset theories of the origin of humans.
A Tel Aviv University team excavating a cave in central Israel said teeth found in the cave are about 400,000 years old and resemble those of other remains of modern man, known scientifically as Homo sapiens, found in Israel. The earliest Homo sapiens remains found until now are half as old.
X-rays and CT scans were used to date these teeth and if this current claim is true than it changes the whole picture of evolution and evolutionary theory.
The article goes on to say; “According to today’s accepted scientific theories, modern humans and Neanderthals stemmed from a common ancestor who lived in Africa about 700,000 years ago. One group of descendants migrated to Europe and developed into Neanderthals, later becoming extinct. Another group stayed in Africa and evolved into Homo sapiens — modern humans.”
My big question is, What do You believe? Does this latest find confirm or deny your beliefs? How do you know that what you know is really real?
