ah, I thought it might be The Onion

I remember ONN

which was short-lived iirc

wait so there was a black swedish ancestor a thousand years before lucy yet appears more evolved?

Yeah, I grew up on ONN.

Of course it was short-lived, nobody gets away with naming the (((Grabbler))) like that

@ubermensch no, there was a non-black skull found in britain that greatly predated known ancient humans in Africa

Which basically blows a hole in the idea that the earliest human societies were african

Who pinged me?

"more evolved" makes zero sense

It's newer or older.

Two, in fact, @UnfilteredGarbage.

The oldest human skull found outside of Africa was 210,000 years ago

@Synapse iirc the british skull has traits of more recent early humans than the oldest known african skulls - which it predates

Doesn’t mean it destroyed the idea that people came from Africa

Just that we have a older skull

That has zero bearing in what I said, UnfilteredGarbage.

@Snake no, it destroys the idea that the earliest human societies were African. Because it wouldn't be possible for a single person to travel that far, and the person was not just a close relative of early African humans

There were distinct population groups, essentially

Oh civilization

just give out the article.

Sorry

Yeah civilization was out of the Fertile Crescent

At first

Somewhere in the Middle East

the agrarian shift changed majorly around the levant, iirc

where you get your first early civs

I find this conversation very interesting. I do like this server, even if I am rather leftist.

Holy fuck

300 at hte least, python

that throws the earlier starting dates to around 400k

That’s nice

Better for me the further the date goes back

I love how much I learn.

Yeah

Then, there is Apidima-1.
