The current timeline of Human evolution, as accepted by mainstre
am scholars

---------------------------------------------------------
The timeline of human evolution, according to John Pickrell.
-55 million years ago (MYA)
First primitive primates evolve
-8 – 6 MYA
First gorillas evolve. Later, chimp and human lineages diverge
-5.8 MYA
Orrorin tugenensis, oldest human ancestor thought to have walked
on two legs
-5.5 MYA
Ardipithecus, early “proto-human” shares traits with chimps and
gorillas, and is forest-dwelling
-4 MYA
Australopithecines appear. They have brains no larger than a
chimpanzee’s – with a volume around 400 – 500 cm3 -, but walk
upright on two legs. First human ancestors to live on the
savannah
-3.2 MYA
Lucy, famous specimen of Australopithecus afarensis, lives near
what is now Hadar, Ethiopia
-2.7 MYA
Paranthropus, lives in woods and grasslands, has massive jaws
for chewing on roots and vegetation. Becomes extinct 1.2 MYA
-2.5 MYA
Homo habilis appears. Its face protrudes less than earlier
hominids, but still retains many ape features. Has a brain
volume of around 600 cm3
Hominids start to use stone tools regularly, created by
splitting pebbles – this starts Oldowan tradition of toolmaking,
which last a million years
Some hominids develop meat-rich diets as scavengers, the extra
energy may have favoured the evolution of larger brains
-2 MYA
Evidence of Homo ergaster, with a brain volume of up to 850 cm3,
in Africa
-1.8 – 1.5 MYA
Homo erectus is found in Asia. First true hunter-gatherer
ancestor, and also first to have migrated out of Africa in large
numbers. It attains a brain size of around 1000 cm3
-1.6 MYA
Possible first sporadic use of fire suggested by discoloured
sediments in Koobi Fora, Kenya. More convincing evidence of
charred wood and stone tools is found in Israel and dated to
780,000 years ago
More complex Acheulean stone tools start to be produced and are
the dominant technology until 100,000 years ago
-600,000 YA
Homo Heidelbergensis lives in Africa and Europe. Similar brain
capacity to modern humans
-500,000 YA
Earliest evidence of purpose-built shelters – wooden huts – are
known from sites near Chichibu, Japan
-400,000 YA
Early humans begin to hunt with spears
-325,000 YA
Oldest surviving early human footprints are left by three people
who scrambled down the slopes of a volcano in Italy
-280,000 YA
First complex stone blades and grinding stones
-230,000 YA
Neanderthals appear and are found across Europe, from Britain in
the west to Iran in the east, until they become extinct with the
advent of modern humans 28,000 years ago
-195,000 YA
Our own species Homo sapiens appears on the scene – and shortly
after begins to migrate across Asia and Europe. Oldest modern
human remains are two skulls found in Ethiopia that date to this
period. Average human brain volume is 1350 cm3
-170,000 YA
Mitochondrial Eve, the direct ancestor to all living people
today, may have been living in Africa
-150,000 YA
Humans possibly capable of speech. 100,000-year-old shell
jewellery suggests that that people develop complex speech and
symbolism
-140,000 YA
First evidence of long-distance trade
-110,000 YA
Earliest beads – made from ostrich eggshells – and jewellery
-50,000 YA
“Great leap forward”: human culture starts to change much more
rapidly than before; people begin burying their dead ritually;
create clothes from animal hides; and develop complex hunting
techniques, such as pit-traps.
Colonisation of Australia by modern humans
-33,000 YA
Oldest cave art. Later, Stone Age artisans create the
spectacular murals at Lascaux and Chauvet in France
-Homo erectus dies out in Asia – replaced by modern man
-18,000 YA
Homo Floresiensis, “Hobbit” people, found on the Indonesian
island of Flores. They stand just over 1 metre tall, and have
brains similar in size to chimpanzees, yet have advanced stone
tools
-12,000 YA
Modern people reach the Americas
-10,000 YA
Agriculture develops and spread. First villages. Possible
domestication of dogs
-5,500 YA
Stone Age ends and Bronze Age begins. Humans begin to smelt and
work copper and tin, and use them in place of stone implements
-5,000 YA
Earliest known writing
-4,000 to 3,500 BC
The Sumerians of Mesopotamia develop the world’s first
civilisation

In, 2015, the BBC published findings
HTML http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-32804177
showing the
use of tools 700,000+ years earlier than the current theory. It
should change this timeline, pushing back the 2.5MYA mark back
almost a million years.

The city off the Cuban coast that is half a mile submerged, has
produced, what researchers are calling "urban artifacts" dating
to 13,000 B.C. Trinkets, odds and ends, that sort of thing.
It seems to me that civilization would be required to build
"urban artifacts", again, this could put the timeline back by
not an insignificant amount.
To be fair.... [quote=Zelitsky]
"What we have found is more likely remnants of a local culture,"
once located on a 100-mile "land bridge" that joined Mexico's
Yucatan Peninsula with Cuba. Iturralde added that there are
local legends of the Maya and native Yucatecos that tell of an
island inhabited by their ancestors that vanished beneath the
waves. Nevertheless, Iturralde does not discount the possibility
that the rock formations are merely the result of the wonders of
Mother Nature. “Nature is able to create some really
unimaginable structures,” he said.[/quote]
Of course, some of the shapes and pyramids were of granite, one
of the harder stones on earth. Limestone breaks from waves and
it can look like stairs and structures and steps, sure, but
granite does not tend to do so. And it doesn't tend to fall
into 8X10 blocks and pyramid shaped structures either.

An Iron hammer has been found in London. It is 99% iron, and
the handle has started to turn to coal. The process by which
organic material turns to coal is said to take over 100 million
years.
Here is a hammer, 99% pure iron, with a coal handle. Not only
does this find not fit any scientific timelines regarding human
evolution, it should completely change our understanding of
history.
If it is an anomaly, researchers have yet to explain how and
why.
This is standard practice regarding mainstream scientific
ideology; If something does not fit conventional rhetoric, it is
ignored. But the he literal mountains of evidence are starting
to become harder and harder to dismiss.

I just saw this post & thought it was cool. What happened to
dinosaurs anyway?

This is really amazing. It suggests that intelligent life
existed ...co-existed... with dinosaurs, T-rex even. That's a
connection pretty far removed from conventional wisdom...yet
here is a very tangible connection between intelligent life and
the dinosaurs living at the same time...remarkable.
The mass extinction of the dinosaurs is another story
altogether....how did just the big guys die out, while so much
else lived on? Asteroids? a great extinction? Perhaps a nudge
here and there from mother nature .... or the powers that be...
are indeed taking interest in Human life.
