The same reason people have always moved, resources, population pressure, sense of adventure

People fail to understand man is millions of years old. Biblically man is 6-7k year's old, scientifically man is much older.

The title is hyperbolic clickbait, but the information within it is accurate--fossils of a "missing link" between the great apes and modern man was discovered in Europe two and a half years ago, and the fossils predate the earliest-discovered hominid fossils in Africa.

Unfortunately that research and logic will yield downvotes with no rebuttal

Really interesting discovery and research but it's probably too soon to rewrite the history books just yet. As per the article:

quote:

Retired anthropologist and author Dr Peter Andrews, formerly at the Natural History Museum in London, said: "It is possible that the human lineage originated in Europe, but very substantial fossil evidence places the origin in Africa, including several partial skeletons and skulls.

"I would be hesitant about using a single character from an isolated fossil to set against the evidence from Africa."

The human race originated in Africa, period.

There are no animals in Europe that humans could have evolved from

I flat-out don't think it's reasonable to retrofit the out-of-Africa origin story to that European fossil. And I'm not an anthropologist and I'm directly going against one here, so sure, take my take with a healthy dose of salt, but the out-of-Africa theory requires a belief in as-yet undiscovered fossils even older than that in Africa to fit.

I think his error is claiming that "the human lineage" originated anywhere. Strikes me as more likely that there were multiple lines from great apes to hominids to modern man in different areas of the world that eventually converged on humanity as we know it over a span of millions of years.

But hey, like I said, just a guy dabbling's 2 cents, not worth much.

If it was a pit bull, did it happen to have a toddler or elderly person in it's mouth?

Because I have a lot of time on my hands at work in the middle of the night sometimes, I happen to be looking at Google Earth last night and ran across this place. Looked up the current conditions to see how cold it was during the day time yesterday and it was a chilly -52 degrees Fahrenheit
