The genesis of the human species

- Hominids descended from the trees after the meat

 

 

The theory of "Out of Africa", prof. Christopher Stringer , is certainly well-founded, but for a more complete picture, it could be expanded and supplemented.
All hominids, with the exception of Cro-Magnons, ate mainly large animal carcasses. Thick skin a large dead animal was a major obstacle to get to the (often large quantities), meat. With this obstacle difficult to overcome the hominids had to cope in different ways.

Homo habilis chopped with skin by proto hand axe from approximately 2 million years ago, and Homo erectus, from about 1.5 million years ago, by hand axe. Chopped skin they removed, wrenched by they teeth. Therefore developed a very strong bite and strong jaws like a vise. This kind of thick skin removal was extremely difficult work, requiring powerful teeth, powerful bite forces, a very strong skull and facial structures. After removing a large enough portion of the skin, they crashed meat by stone axe into pulp and eaten.

 

TELLTALE TEETH. The front teeth of many Neanderthals have been worn down dramatically, suggesting they used their teeth as tools, possibly removing animal hides so that to get to the meet.

 

Hominids, by nearly 2 million years, did not understand that much more effectively they could cut and removed the skin by sharp stone flake but still hitting the skin, by hand-stone-axes. Long time doing the same practice (up to about 200 thousand years ago), indicating that was done instinctively. Hand-stone-axe, never served, and could not be used for hunting large animals. The main function of all stone axes was the same: chopping the skin (found dead, a large animal), to get to the meat. Until the advent of Cro-Magnons, hominids ate meat mostly dead, large animals or meat of animals killed by prey animals.

 


 

 

 



New hominids classification
 
1). Stone-axe-hominids – Homo habilis (Oldowan chopping tools)
2). Knife-hominids – "Out of Africa"
3). Dagger-hominids – Cro-Magnons
4). Thinking hominids – Humans

2). Knife-hominids
– a distinct species of hominids
have emerged about 200,000 years ago in Africa.
 
About 200,000 years ago, in Africa, there is a change in eating habits. In a small population of hominids (probably from species of Homo hidelbergensis), there was a fantastically beneficial mutation, which consists of cutting and removing the skin by cutting it from the meat with a sharp stone-knife. These hominids replaced the existing stone-axes, more efficient stone-knifes. And this was a major breakthrough in the evolution towards a man.

These hominids came out about 125 thousand years ago from Africa to Arabia, Europe and Asia. Let us call this hominid species "knife-hominids" - to distinguish them from the "Cro-Magnons" (which were not), and from their predecessors, who did not use stone knives for cutting the skin to get to the meat. According to the dominant theory today, we all come from Africa. However, there are indications, that descended from Cro-Magnons.
 

 

 

 

 

  

 

About 200,000 years ago, in Africa, knife-hominids starting removing the skin from large dead animals by stone knifes, reveals with easy great amount of meat.

 

  

Removing the skin from large dead animals with a stone knifes – not the teeth, like before –caused a reduction of the big brow.

 

Usuwanie skóry z dużej, padłej zwierzyny kamiennymi nożykami – nie zaś, jak dotychczas, zębami – wyeliminowało dotychczasową, potężną pracę zębów podczas usuwania– wyrywania zbytecznych fragmentów skóry i spowodowało redukcję dużych wałów nadoczodołowych. Rozcinanie i zdejmowanie skóry kamiennym nożykiem pozwalało na szybkie odsłonięcie wielkiej często ilości mięsa, które było podstawowym pożywieniem wszystkich hominidów.

Fieldwork over the last two years led by Dr. Jeffrey Rose of the University of Birmingham in the UK mapped over 100 new “Nubian Middle Stone Age” (MSA) sites in the Dhofar Mountains of southern Oman, on the southeast coast of the Arabian Peninsula.

Stone tools unearthed in Oman show modern humans were living in southern Arabia much earlier than predicted by geneticists’ theories of how humans colonized the world, according to a new study by an international team of scientists.

Well, stone tools from Oman indicate that they were not made by the representatives of our species, men of understanding - Homo sapiens, but by working instinctively hominids. Hand axe, in the picture, reproduced in the article by Dr. Jeffrey Rose, is "unnecessarily" retouch, sharpened around - which proves that the hominid was made it by working instinctively. Base of hand axe (where the hand holds it), is not rounded or blunt, but "unnecessarily" retouched, sharp, which indicates the output instinctive. This hominids did not produce rounded base, although they could hurt their hands. Knife-hominids, like their predecessors, lived, according to the author, exclusively at the level of instinct.

Lack of appropriate tools for hunting big game,
meant that they remained still scavengers
 
Consequently, the use of blade there have been far-reaching, evolutionary changes in the anatomy of the skull and facial, which changed new group in differently-looking – than their predecessors – beings. The huge strength and great pressure front teeth, have been used so far at work powerful jaws, forced to maintain prominent big eyebrow, moving around the eye sockets great stress arising from the clamping jaws, which gave hominids "primitive appearance." Massive eyebrows became less necessary and eventually declined, giving knife-hominids a look similar to modern humans. Skulls are becoming higher and narrower and the prominent chin becomes a permanet feature. The reason for this physical metamorphosis have become so technological innovation.
This kind of change in the anatomy and behavior are hallmarks of a separate hominid species, which became knife-hominids. "We came out of Africa as a developed species (...)" - writes the author of the theory of "Out of Africa", Christopher Stringer. Afrykański Exodus, Prószyński i S-ka, Warszawa 1999, str. 238.
 
However knife-hominids were not dagger-hominids (Cro-Magnons)

3). Dagger-hominids (Cro-Magnons)
– a distinct species of hominids
45,000–13,000 years ago


Author of the theory of "Out of Africa", prof. Christopher Stringer, writes: "Penetrated slowly to the north and came to the Levant in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Then, about 80 thousand years ago, small groups spread through the Middle East, sowing the seeds of human modernity in Asia and then in Europe and Australia. In each of these regions grains germinate slowly until about 40 thousand years ago, when "something", (emphasis J.K.), resulted in their rise coupled with the demographic explosion". African Exodus, Prószyński i S-ka, Warsaw 1999, p. 24.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That "something"

– it was a bone dagger

(bone point).

 

45,000 years ago, appear the first bone daggers, and with them a new, distinct species of hominid – Cro-Magnons. They struck a large wild game by bone dagger (bone point), held in hand. The invention of the bone dagger made Cro-Magnon a real hunter, hunting of wild game and consuming fresh meat.

 

 

 

Bone dagger theory

 

The invention of the bone dagger made Cro-Magnon a real hunter, hunting of wild game and consuming fresh meat. If we assume that Cro-Magnon instinctively hit the big animal's neck, such as a horse, then we can imagine that a single individual could kill a large animal himself.

 

 

The oldest Cro-magnon we can identify on the basis of the oldest bone dagger. Cro-Magnons do not come to Europe from Africa, because the knife-hominids, who emerged from Africa about 145 000 years ago, did not have bone daggers – so they were not Cro-Magnons. They were not a dagger-hominids.

 
Cro-Magnon man appeared about 43 thousand years BC, probably in the Kostionki, about 400 km south of Moscow. Within a few thousand years Cro-Magnon man are present not only in Europe (including the European Arctic), but almost all over the world. In the Arctic Siberia on the Taimyr peninsula about 40 thousand years ago, In America Cro-Magnon man appeared about 25 thousand. years ago – in the Bluefish Caves, Yukon Canada. In South Africa about 36 thousand years ago.

There are signs that Cro-Magnon Man, was not an intelligent man and he lived only at the level of instinct. He did not have awareness of his existence and could not think or speak. Only after the Pleistocene climate drama (circa 11,000 BC), became animal aware of his existence, thinking and talking animal – a man.
 
Pewna populacja europejskich nożykowców, ok. 45 tys. lat temu, zaczęła namiętnie dłubać nożykami w kości słoniowej i porożu. Upłynęło ok. 1 tys. lat nieustannego dłubania i eksperymentalnego rzeźbienia kamiennymi narzędziami, zanim nożykowiec wyrzeźbił długi, ok. 20–30 cm sztylet kościany (ostrze kościane). I zabił… Na przykład kozę lub konia. Ta biologiczna mutacja była niezwykle korzystna i szybko zakorzeniła się w grupie jego najbliższych. Od tego momentu niewielka grupa nożykowców stała się kromaniończykami – pierwszym gatunkiem hominidów, posiadającym potężną broń kłującą, pozwalającą zabijać dużą zwierzynę łowną i zdobywać wielkie ilości świeżego mięsa.
Sztylety kościane (wytwarzane z ciosów mamuta, kości i poroża), pojawiają się nagle, ok. 45 tys. lat temu, prawdopodobnie w miejscowości Kostionki.
Bone daggers were not headed spears (as many scholars believe), but daggers. Preparation of the bone dagger and the ability to acquire fresh meat have been breakthroughs, technological achievements of the first Cro-Magnons that caused the process of Upper Paleolithic Revolution, reflected in a sudden population explosion, creativity, cultural, artistic and technological development.

Professor of biology and anthropology at Stanford University, Richard G. Klein. He is a critic of the idea that behavioral modernity arose gradually over the course of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years or millions of years, he instead supports the view that modern behavior arose suddenly in the Upper Paleolithic revolution around 50,000 or 40,000 years ago.

Cro-Magnon was the first hominid, who was not a scavenger. All hominids, apart from Cro-Magnon, had often ill due to consumption of carrion containing toxic compounds. Fresh meat consumed by Cro-Magnons, improved not only all the functions of the brain, but the whole of their body.

  
Najstarszego kromaniończyka możemy zinentyfikować na podstawie najstarszego sztyletu kościanego. Kromaniończycy nie przybyli do Europy z Afryki, ponieważ nożykowcy, którzy wychodzili z Afryki ok. 80 000 lat temu, nie posiadali sztyletów (ostrzy) kościanych – a więc nie byli kromaniończykami.
 
 
Cro-Magnons, like their predecessors, lived, according to the author,
exclusively at the level of instinct.

 


Cro-Magnon's bone daggers – instinctive made

Nature of the Cro-Magnons bone products were not intentional, but instinctive – so had often "bizarre" shapes.

In the Maszycka cave, Prądnik Valley near Cracow, 16-20 Cro-Magnons skeletal remains were found and their bone and flint products dated to 15 500-14 500 years, belonging to the Magdalenian culture. Among these finds are decorated daggers carved  from reindeer antlers. The shape of these daggers is almost perfect in his duties. Among these daggers were also found atavistic daggers – with a divided handle on which are also inscribed the various motives. These daggers come just before the 15 thousand years, as all the other finds from this cave. Well, these two types of bone daggers, "normal" and "bizarre", performed at the same time, in the same place and by the same individuals also show an instinctive workmanship of Cro-Magnons tools.

Cro-Magnon did not invent the stone or bone-headed spear

Dla wątpliwej teorii przypisującej rozum, mowę i świadomość kromaniończykom, poszukujemy dowodów – a jak ich nie znadujemy – to tworzymy karkołomne i naiwne próby uczynienia kościanego sztyletu – trzymanego w dłoni przez zwierzę – ostrzem oszczepu.

To be as lethal as possible, their tips were chiseled to exquisite sharpness. This is a North American point, but bone points hafted onto wooden or bone handles were also common in the Stone Age Old World. A deep groove cuts into the base of the point, where a hunter would have inserted a wooden thrower and secured it with resin."

Upper Paleolithic cultures in Europe between 20,000 and 10,000 years ago hunted seals, whales, and even swimming land mammals such as reindeer using antler harpoons. Experts believe antler harpoons were used in tandem with wooden launchers known as atlatls to help the harpoon penetrate prey with more force.

 

 

Cro-Magnon’s instinctive cave painting

Cro-Magnon’s cave paintings mislead us: we think that made ​​them human. Well, Cro-Magnon was not a man. He was a highly developed – in the process of evolution – an animal, living only at the level of instinct.

4). Thinking hominids
13,000 years ago – to present day
.
.

The fossil material – before Plejstocene, 13 000 years ago – we do not find stone arrowheads or spear tips, as well as garments and leather goods. There is no stone tools framed in wood, bone or antler.

 

Spear with stone tip is the work of human – not Cro-Magnon.

 

Cro-Magnon did not invent the stone-headed spear, or bow and arrow during its entire existence, ie about 32,000 years, since he lived only at the level of instinct – that did not have consciousness, and therefore he could not think or speak.

Wikipedia (ang.), Solutrean: Large thin spear-heads

 

Stone products of Cro-Magnons not serve, and could not serve – as a spear tips. The shape of the Solutrean knives also deny that they could be mounted on a pole. Solutrean stone knives incorrectly and "force" are interpreted as spear tips.

Spear-head of man of Clovis Culture. Indicates that can be fix to wooden handle.

Flint spear tip of Clovis man is in the shape clearly indicates that it could be attached to the spars and serve as a spear tip. There is no stone products, similar shapes to the tips of spears in the fossil from the Cro-Magnon era (about 45-13 thousand years ago).

 

Clovis Point. This artifact was used for killing mammoths and other megafauna. Clovis refers to this particular style of stone spear point and to the culture of the North American people who used such weapons to devastating effect against large game. Clovis points are leaf-shaped and have a wide groove, or flute, on both sides of the base for fitting into short wooden or bone spear shafts. The largest spear point ever found, measuring nine inches long, was a Clovis point made of chalcedony, a kind of quartz. NOVA

Bow and arrows are the invention of man, not Cro-Magnon.

The first stone arrowheads for bows, made ​​by man (not by Cro-Magnon), appear only after the Plejstocene, about 11 thousand years ago. 

In cave painting of Cro-magnons never find similar motives, nor collective motives at all.
