^This cave, titled PP13B, on the shore of South Africa, is one of the refuges that allowed the human race to survive when we were an endangered species. Shortly after ? Sapiens became a distinct species, a giant ? eruption in Indonesia took a fat ? on the planet.

This ? , in conjunction with other awful natural circumstances of the era, threatened to wipe out the human race. It's possible that there were fewer than 10,000 people left at the worst point.

Lucky for us, caves and shellfish saved our ? .

There's a lot more info at that link. Videos, interactive media, etc. Fascinating subject.




So, the next time you black racists chide Europeans for having used caves to survive, remember: You were cavemen too. And you wouldn't be alive today if you hadn't been.

    Same entry -This theory however, has been largely debated as there is no evidence for any other animal decline or extinction, even in environmentally sensitive species.


    This would qualify as the throw some ? at a wall and hope it sticks methodology.

    The Toba eruption, like I said, was not the only environmental problem facing humans at the time.

    Moreover, a single sentence on a wiki page that is supposedly drawn from a scientific journal you don't have access to does not override the wealth of evidence that your ancestors moved on up to a cave on the east side.

    well you see, the artifacts found in the caves were placed there by Yakub so the white man could trick Moozlims into thinking the Blackman lived in caves like an animal

    but can you fool a Moozlim nowadays? SHO CANT BOSS

    Not that it means anything since there is no evidence and it is guess work anyway...........

    Run along Jr, there is nothing to see.

    There is nothing really to it anyway. It's theory. From Anthropologist, I might add.

    Plus it's stupid. Black people didn't just live in Africa proper. We lived all over the planet.

    i googled that pdf as well and noted that its assertion that theres "no evidence" of a die-out of other species is based on next to nothing

    and also it has nothing to do with africans living in caves, which you racist blacks seem to think is a shameful thing

    I think the shameful thinking comes in because of the fear of evolution being real.

    evolution is kinda scary, with or without racist implications

    one day, humanity will be gone. replaced by its own bizarre descendants.

    It does tell you that like everything else you will eventually die off as a species and a new form will take control. Nobody want's to believe it's that simple, alot of whites hate hearing they came from an ape and blacks don't like hearing a white guy say "You came from an ape like descendant".

    And yea, just like before us for as long as we are on Earth every 500,000 years or so living things will look completely different from their ancestors.

    Nah, black people just want white people to shut the ? up and go away and act like a decent human being for a change and quit acting like arrogant ? .

    White's don't mind being told they came from apes. That is why they say" I'll be a monkey's uncle"

    What is indecent about researching where we came from and presenting it to people?

    And clearly you lost all mental capacity with that second part, because it is said in reference to something being unbelievable or false.

    Nothing. I didn't make that claim or inference.

    And you need to lighten up(no tomo), it was a very humorous play on words.

    Should you have better things than to worry about me? Like back up the claim you made on the front page that many people debate this claims authenticity?

    Or is that what you do, drop one book from the wikipage and then quit paying attention because there is no argument against it?

    Evolution is on ongoing proces, change happens on the moment I'm typing this. Our form will not change over night, our form is depended on the climate we live in, in what condition our planet is.....millions of years ago the moon was closer to the earth and our planet was rough, we had a different form/adapted to life on earth.

    Humanity never died and will never die(insha'allah), we will just gradually change appearances.....just like we have been doing since the beginning of time......hell only centuries ago we were much smaller, I was in the Chambord in France(castle of ludovic the 14th) his masterbedroom was grand, his bed however was extremely small, people in general were small(like 150 cm lmao) only 5 centuries ago.

    Evolution happens gradually, we as people never really notice how we evolved at the moment....only when we start comparing our appearances with centuries etc ago do we start to see the differences. There will be no new species, just a new and improved version of what we are today, just like we have improved in height/strenght etc anno 2010 compared to 1610.

    Evolution isn't scary at all, we evolve everyday.

    This thread makes no sense. I've never heard anyone say Africans never lived in caves. The statement has always been that the Egyptians and Nubians were doing big things while Europeans were still living in caves. You'd have to be a full to think that Africans never sought out natural shelter in their history.
