  • “Science doesn’t proceed or get better with established ideas. You have to challenge”
    Recently a team of fossil hunters working in Kenya came upon a set of fossilised teeth and a series of bones. Their find set in motion a chain of events that ignited excitement across the scientific world, for if they were correct in their findings, not only would they have found the oldest human ancestor, but much of the received wisdom humankind’s evolution would have to be rewritten. This programme is the story of their discovery and the implications it has for understanding of how we split from the apes. Dubbed “Millennium Man” by the press, he is twice as old as the most famous skeleton in the world “Lucy”. The remarkable link between Millennium Man and humans is his ability to walk on two legs, overturning previously accepted scientific opinion on why, how and when humans began to walk. As Professor Senut who worked on the project points out, “Science doesn’t proceed or get better with established ideas. You have to challenge” and Millennium Man seems to be challenging an awful lot of accepted science. Documentary first broadcast in 2001.

      Timeline - World History Documentaries can you tone down on the background music next time? it's really interesting to try and follow the narration, yes we know this is ancient history but you don't have to bombard us with loud tribal music in the background to get the message through, it makes it harder to follow the story.

    A child asked his father, "How were people born?"
    Father said:
    "Adam and Eve made babies, then their babies became adults and made babies, and so on."
    The child then went to his mother and asked her the same question and she told him:
    "We were monkeys then we evolved to become like we are now."
    The child ran back to his father and said:
    "You lied to me! Mom said we came from monkeys!"
    His father replied:

      Those bones were NOT found at the same location. In fact they were miles apart.. The local Kenyan who had found a jaw fragment "that appeared to be early hominid", reported his finding. Then of course Europeans were sent to investigate but found NOTHING at the site of the discovery.
      Those other bones were each found miles apart and at different depths. Those facts are conveniently left out.
      Also facts are that this "discovery" has been widely disputed even among anthropologists and argued that it's merely a collection of extinct ape bones scattered miles apart. Now, had the Kenyan discovered a nearly intact, nearly complete skeleton with a skull.....which has NEVER been discovered btw. It's a difderent story then.
      Large collections of what could be early hominids bones have been discovered together in one place. But the bones were fragmented as if dashed to peices.

    as someone who was an obsessive tree climber from the age of 5 until disabled in my 50's in my 40's I was still so good that a friend of mine who ran a live performance company, most famously in a forest used me as specialist scaffolding erector reaching up into the canopy, which was quite low at about 40 feet, and I can testify that being bipedal is a huge advantage up in the trees. actually more so in terms of moving around than in the task i was performing. for a start it enabled me to walk along branches wit my arms spread wide which acted like a ballance pole as used by tightrope walkers. it also improved my reach to nearby branches. I believe that Orangutan behavior also shows this and the first time i came across that theory, I knew from experience that it was correct so I think we were walking upright in the trees and this by luck proved superior on the ground for many reasons

Little trilobite type creatures just had two little pits on their head with a light sensitive cell at the bottom of each. There was no lens, retina or cornea. But from such simple beginnings evolved our visual organs. Interestingly the ocular fluid of our eye today has the same salinity as the ancient seas from whence it evolved.

Think about it would you be willing to die for Lucy? Look how many Christians lost their lifes for Jesus they knew who he was they seen the resurection the healing the prophecy's. And one thing the Roman's were very good at was cruifying people that was what they were known for. And they had guards Jew guards and Roman guards blocking his tomb they seen him with his glorified body and they seen angels. And when Jesus died it was 12 noon and it turned black for 3 hours and there was a huge earth quake. They have so many documents from people in that time reporting on it there is so much proof research it and you will see. And the only one I know of in history or anytime was Jesus who could raise himself from the deal and many other people and they have evidence of everything.

      What would happen if Staphylococcus aureus evolved into a cockroach?
      First you need to have legs, and you'll need to have good hair on them so that you can crawl anywhere. It should have eyes, it should have a mouth, it should have wings, and it should have antennas. Not only that, but the internal organs and the brain underneath the nerve cells that can coordinate the senses will have to emerge. Of course, there are many, many more complex things that need to be located, but that's it.
      For the things described above to occur, the amino acids would have to be arranged to build the organs and the genetic information would have to be stored through DNA. But have humans ever observed any new generation of genetic information even once?
      No cases of increased genetic information have been observed.
      The famous atheist and evolutionist Richard Dawkins, shown in the video below, admits that the complexity of life, or the increase in genetic information, is the biggest mystery in life history, and that no single organism is created by chance, but believes that evolution is possible with the accumulation of very little luck. claim . However, he answers the creationist's question with 10 seconds of silence, asking for only one instance of little luck, one increase in genetic information. And when the video was released a year later, I hurriedly write a long article.
      Of course, there is no case of an increase in genetic information in his long article, which he wrote a year later. I can't give This is because there have been no cases of increased genetic information observed in humans.
      “Studying all aspects of mutations at the molecular level shows that mutations only reduce genetic information, not increase it. ..neo-Darwinian theory should explain how information about life is accumulated by evolution. The essential biological difference between humans and bacteria is the information they possess. All other biological differences arise as a result of differences in information. The human genome contains far more information than the bacterial genome. Mutations cannot accumulate information because mutations cause information to be lost... Not a single mutation has been found that adds even the slightest bit of information to the genome. It also clearly shows that the millions and millions of mutations do not occur as the neo-Darwinian theory requires. Perhaps the kind of mutation they require will never happen. The fact that no such information-enhancing mutations were observed means more than just failed their theory. This is evidence that refutes their theory. This is where we seriously challenge the new Darwinian theory. ” 4
      - Lee Spetner (Physicist / Ph.D. at MIT, Professor at Johns Hopkins, Harvard University)
      “Mutations only cause changes in information that already exists. There is no such thing as an increase in information, but rather, it usually has only harmful consequences . There can never be such a thing as a blueprint for a new function or a new institution. Mutations cannot be a source of new information.” 5
      - Werner Gitt (Director of the German Federal Institute of Physics and Technology)
      Rather, science constantly observes a decline in genetic information . In other words, the mutations that evolutionists put forward as evidence of evolution were to decrease information, not increase it. This is evidence of degeneration, not evolution.

I once visited a flood estuary with mangrove trees in west Africa and was surprised of the enormous amount of easily caught food in the form of crabs, fish, mussels and a variety of crustaceans. I became convinced if an ape learned to live here, he would have good chances to survive the severest of times, provided he could stand still and steady on his feet.

    I do have two points of contention with the conclusion that these are the most likely direct ancestors of humans. It could be convergent evolution or this could be an offshoot of the group that we actually originated from. Just walking upright and human-like molars is intriguing and a possibility but not settled just the best we have right now.
    Added the robotics section was kind of silly otherwise I would expect a lot of mammals to be bipedal. My personal idea and it is just an idea, is that tool use led to bipedalism. Having your hands-free would obviously greatly facilitate this. The issue would be if these early hominids used tools extensively so far back.
