[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: Under the Darwinian model, the human lineage we descend from is nothing special. It predicts that many archaic humans were on track to evolve into something analogous to modern humans. Not the same, but analogous. So, the big question here is, do we see archaic humans continue their own increments towards modernity? The answer is a big NO. In the past, the answer seemed to be a big YES. For instance Neanderthal tools (the Mousterian) seemed fully analogous to the tools made by modern humans. [QUOTE]Both Neanderthals and the Skhul-Qafzeh Modem Humans shared a Middle Palaeolithic technology, with a small range of tool types . . .[/QUOTE] http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1445215/1/U592533%20redacted%20.pdf So it LOOKED like Neanderthals were making these increments towards modernity on their own. This was one of several examples seemingly supporting that Darwinism can explain the evolution of cognitive modernity. However, the notion of Neanderthals making increments towards modernity on their own was recently undermined. Among other revelations, it turned out that Neanderthals are poor representatives of the Neanderthal-Denisovan common ancestor. That is, Neanderthals differed from their own Eurasian ancestors because several OOA migrations had changed them by the time they appear in the fossil record: [QUOTE]The [b]expert consensus now is that Homo sapiens evolved at least 300,000 years ago in Africa. Only much later — roughly 70,000 years ago — did a small group of Africans establish themselves on other continents, giving rise to other populations of people today.[/b] To Johannes Krause, the director of the Max Planck Institute for Human History in Germany, [b]that gap seems peculiar. “Why did people not leave Africa before?” he asked in an interview. After all, he observed, the continent is physically linked to the Near East. “You could have just walked out.”[/b] In a study published Tuesday in Nature Communications, Dr. Krause and his colleagues [b]report that Africans did indeed walk out — over 270,000 years ago.[/b] Based on newly discovered DNA in fossils, [b]the researchers conclude that a wave of early Homo sapiens, or close relatives of our species, made their way from Africa to Europe. There, they interbred with Neanderthals.[/b] Then the ancient African migrants disappeared. But some of their DNA endured in later generations of Neanderthals. “This is [b]now a comprehensive picture[/b],” Dr. Krause said. “It [b]brings everything together[/b].” [/QUOTE] https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/04/science/neanderthals-dna-homo-sapiens-human-evolution.html So, not only does this prove that Neanderthals had AMH (anatomically modern human) ancestry. It also indicates that true Neanderthals appear in the fossil record only after this early admixture event and subsequent admixture events. This means that all supposed evidence of Neanderthal increments towards modernity rests on Neanderthals who were already admixed with Africans. The tools support this. Neanderthal tool industries are variants of industries that are much older in Africa. So, unless Darwinism can explain why African AMHs are repeatedly exporting cognitive modernity to archaic humans in Eurasia, it's done. This happened over a period of >1my. Natural selection is not supposed to be biased to one human lineage over >1 million years. Even if you theorize that Africa presented some sort of unique environment conducive to the evolution of cognitive modernity, you can only say Africa [i]favoured[/i] increments to cognitive modernity. You can't say natural selection acted selectively over >1 million years in Africa. To say that means you're evoking teleology, which is (ironically) the only way for Darwinian church members out of these problems.[/QUOTE]This might be an even better than the NYtimes article on African AMHs mixing with Neanderthals. They certainly see the relevance of the 300ky Moroccan Irhoud remains near Neanderthal Europe (something that mainstream articles have yet to connect to the human-Neanderthal "allele sharing" which is currently misinterpreted as 100% Neanderthal in origin [leading to misleading Neanderthal estimates, for instance in Taforalt and IAM]). How [b]2017 Rewrote the Book on Human Evolution[/b] Discoveries in 2017 [b]are changing the story of humanity: Homo sapiens may have been around as long as 400,000 years[/b], migrating [b]out of Africa and having sex with Neanderthals and Denisovans much earlier than thought[/b] https://www.haaretz.com/archaeology/.premium.MAGAZINE-how-2017-rewrote-the-book-on-human-evolution-1.5629089 Mainstream science is lagging behind, hindered by its own biases and confusions. Aint nobody got time to wait on their approval. Luckily the people in the know are starting to put the pieces of the puzzle together. The discovery of African ancestry in Neanderthals (and to a lesser extent in Denisovans) is HUGE on many levels. One of these levels being the fact that cognitive modernity evolved exclusively in Africa as far as we can tell, in the lineage that leads to living humans.
