Do you believe this?

  Do you believe scientists can peer back this far into history and make accurate conclusions?  That is if we have that long a history...

I believe the Bible, and I don't question it, I study to understand it.

I guess a scientist dug up a rock with blood on it and found homo-sapien DNA.
Or, it's all BS.

Mostly speculation based on personal belief of those writing the article.

We know that human DNA is around 3% Neanderthal on average and between 1% and 2% Denisovan. To me that means there was a lot of interspecies mating or a whole lotta rape going on.

Now if we assume it was rape than I guess maybe some war might also have been going on. If on the other hand we assume it was mutually agreeable sex between them then likely they weren't making war that much.

I saw nothing scientifically prove able in their hypothesis but rather just speculation based on fact neanderthals went extinct and we didn't.

But then I also don't agree with the idea that we all came from some black guy and gal in Africa. But that's just me.

  Seems  I can recall school at one time taught that humankind started in the mideast, then later in the Alpine  region..now it is supposed to be in Africa..

  Piltdown man, Java man, Nebraska man..They just keep a changing..

   I think the closest they got was mankind originating in the mideast... but not as they pictured it !

I don't spend any time thinking about evolution, or 10 million year old rocks.
