Scientists have recently given a new name to two of our ancient direct human ancestors calling it Homo bodoensis after reassessing H. rhodesiensis & H.heidelbergensis. This species of hominin lived during the Middle Pleistocene between 774,000-129,000 years ago. 360onhistory.com/news/a-n…

Clarification of anatomical differences between Homo sapiens idaltu, homo sapiens sapiens, and Homo rhodesiensis?

Wikipedia writes the following:

>An exact description was made, by its discoverers, of Homo sapiens idaltu:[1] > >On the limited available evidence, a subspecies of Homo sapiens distinguished from Holocene anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) by greater craniofacial robusticity, greater anterior–posterior cranial length, and large glenoid-to-occlusal plane distance. Homo sapiens idaltu is distinguished from the holotype of Homo rhodesiensis (Woodward, 1921) by a larger cranial capacity, a more vertical frontal with smaller face, and more marked midfacial topography (for example, canine fossa). We consider the holotypes of H. helmei and H. njarasensis too fragmentary for appropriate comparisons.

Could anyone demystify "greater craniofacial robusticity, greater anterior–posterior cranial length, and large glenoid-to-occlusal plane distance." and " a more vertical frontal with smaller face, and more marked midfacial topography (for example, canine fossa)." for me?

The Great Genetic Reset

DNA is probably the most valuable biological substance of the universe, just like informations in the era of the technocracy, and DNA is literally information. When speaking of DNA I always think about ancient human civilisations, all of them went extinct in order for us to become the leading race, and by all I mean those we are aware of : †Homo antecessor †Homo erectus †Homo ergaster †Homo floresiensis †Homo habilis †Homo heidelbergensis †Homo longi †Homo luzonensis †Homo naledi †Homo neanderthalensis †Homo rhodesiensis? = Homo bodoensis †Homo rudolfensis

Scientists now admit that we walked on earth at the same time of different human species, but somehow we are the only one who have survived , I think genocides are in the human nature just like the need to eat or drink when speaking of long term survival of a species, or evolution, thousands of animal species are going and already went extinct because of human activities we don’t value animals sentient and worthy of compassion in most cases, probably because they don’t talk, if animals were to speak an human language I think we wouldn’t see them with the same eyes, and the same might have been happened to other human species that somehow disappeared from existence, where they an experiment and we are the result so an “higher being” get rid of their genes or maybe on earth there’s the rule of the more intelligent and we willingly murdered them?

Are we the first intelligent species to evolve on earth, and why are we now the only human species living on the planet?

What if an intelligent species were to evolve from reptiles? There are hundreds if not thousands of legends around the world of reptilian humanoids and what if a part of the dinosaurs escaped the mass extinction by refuging into inner earth cave systems and [evolved in millions of years](https://www.google.it/url?sa=i&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiwhbjk5_X0AhWYgv0HHSwODJwQjhx6BAgBEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.quora.com%2FWhat-would-humans-look-like-if-they-evolved-from-dinosaurs&psig=AOvVaw3VOjXSi1FsvG6L6pMpxePm&ust=1640

Кто круче — Дитя тьмы или человек Бодо? - Антропология

Что-то давно не было слышно про наших любимых Homo naledi. Наконец, неутомимый антрополог Ли Бергер снова радует нас находками в южноафриканской пещере Райзинг Стар. На этот раз его команде удалось найти фрагментарный череп ребёнка, который в СМИ уже залихватски окрестили «Дитя тьмы». Сами антропологи называют находку «Лети» — от слова «letimela», что на местном языке сетсвана означает «потерянный». Статья об этом открытии опубликована на сайте журнала с открытым доступом PaleoAnthropology.

Реконструированный череп Лети.

Лети нашли глубоко в пещере, в узкой щели шириной всего 15 сантиметров, которая находилась сразу за областью, названной «камерой Хаоса», заваленной каменными блоками. И всё это в 12 метрах от камеры Диналеди, в которой в 2015 году обнаружили первые кости Homo naledi. Новое местонахождение получило наименование U.W. 110. Это уже третье место в Райзинг Стар, содержащее человеческие кости. В 2017 году в камере Леседи была найдена целая куча костей гоминин, включая череп и скелет «Нео» (точнее, найден скелет ещё в 2013, но в 2017 обнародован).

Кстати, во второй публикации тех же авторов, опубликованной в журнале, говорится ещё о трёх местонахождениях: UW 108, где найдена плечевая кость гоминина, UW 111 (33 фрагмента человеческих костей) и UW 109 (скелет молодого павиана — а он-то как туда попал?). Видимо, нужно ждать следующих статей с описанием новых находок.

По словам учёных, U.W. 110 — это один из самых сложных участков в системе Райзинг Стар, труднодоступный даже для опытных спелеологов. Поэтому пока что толковых раскопок не проводилось, найденные останки просто собрали с поверхности. Это 6 зубов и 28 фрагментов черепа, собранных с участка трещины длиной 80 см. Авторы публикации подчёркивают, что части черепа найдены очень близко друг от друга, некоторые из них соприкасались. Их размеры, строение и сохранность говорят о принадлежности одной особи. На то же указывает и то обстоятельство, что среди находок нет дублей: зубы и кости черепа не повторяются, как вероятно было бы, принадлежи они более чем одному индивиду. Судя по тому, что два из найденных зубов молочные, речь идёт о ком-то невзрослом.

Конечно, на красивом фото, растиражированном СМИ, мы видим реконструкцию, а на самом деле находка более скромная — кусочек надбровья, несколько фрагментов свода и зубы. Са

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Wario and Waluigi seem to belong to the genus Homo. That said, they have pointy ears, and a large magenta nose. So, are they genetically ill anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens), or Neanderthal humans (Homo neanderthalensis), or Rhodesian humans (Homo rhodesiensis), or Denisovan humans (Homo denisova), or ogres, or trolls, or elves, or dwarves, or giants, or goblins, or orcs, or angels, or demons?

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Creationist's at there finest

When going around on quora to find some answers and arguments for evolution, I just so happily stumbled upon this good old answer, note it's a very long one, so here is what he had to say, and let me know your thoughts and objections to it.

"Hominin is a belief word. Evolutionists (yes that is a word) need, want, desire, crave fossils that are somewhere between ape and human. Their false belief system has led to many shoddy conclusions.

Fossils that are clearly animal¹ like have anthropomorphised descriptions. For example, a fossil about the size of a racoon with a long tail was given a human name of Ida, and a scientific name of darwinius masillae and described on newscasts, and magazine articles around the world with words such as "The newly claimed primate genus and species Darwinius masillae, said to be an ancestor of humans"²

While the racoon sized Ida(an extinct lemur) was described as a human ancestor, human fossils are often described with dehumanizing and racist terminology. (Zoomorphism). For example Neanderthals were described as dimwitted, inarticulate, hairy bodies, portrayed in museums with a stooped over posture, lacked culture and didn't create tools, didn't bury their dead with ceremony etc etc³. Science has since proven the humanity of Neanderthals, and the claims of evolutionists to be false.

The list is long of shoddy interpretations evolutionists have made based on their a priori beliefs; and not in science. Just a few of the many examples...

* Ardipithecus ramudus kadabba TIME cover⁴ "how apes became human.. a new discovery tell scientists how our oldest ancestors did on two legs and made an evolutionary leap". On page 59 of the article, is a toe bone along with the words "this toe bone proves the creature walked on two legs" HAHA... A human foot contains about 26 bones, and it is impossible to tell how a creature walked from one toe bone.

* Java man (homo erectus) ... Notice how this fossil was described as a man, although pieces of bone were found ~ 45 feet apart, and a year in time. The teeth and femur were human, and the skullcap apparently from a monkey / gibbon⁵

* Rhodesian man, was portrayed for many years in the British museum of Natural history as a stooped over ape-man. The fossil had been 'created' by a bird specialust, W.P. Pycraft. Scientists, trained in human anatomy since havr realized that the fossil is a modern man. ⁶"
