Humans in North America more than 36,000 year ago

There may have been an advanced race that died out.

Not a race, but certainly a advanced culture is possible.

No I Mean race or species

ENot a race, but certainly an advanced culture is possible.

There were 4-6 Types of Humans/ hominids roaming the World at the same time we have found remains of 4 so far from same general timeframes

Possibly. I certainly see support for three. The others are possible. Homo sapiens is the one that survived, that's why if there was an advanced civilization my bet is on them to have created it.

Sit down, ass-troll.

But then he would suffocate to death.

So are we the only ones who evolved?

Survived not evolved

Survived not evolved

We just dont know. There is enough time for a species to have evolved and died or been devastated by an event. Many old cultures have a history of a stranger teaching them advanced building techniques.

The Moon Eyed people seem to have been on ( Crete ) ( Sicily ) ( Malta ) ( The Fertile Crescent ) ( The Great Smokey Mountains of America ) …

No, not that strange.

Try again.

 

[Failzero]

Stone on or around the Temple of Jupiter ( Lebanon ) are 900-1400 tonnes . We would have to make a new industry to create the machinery to ( Quarry / Move / Lift into place ) stones like them

How do you know? That is certainly one theory. But there is no way to know.

Sure there is, archaeological evidence and not playing "make believe".

 

[Mushroom]

There may have been an advanced race that died out.

More advanced than H. Sapiens? And left absolutely no archaeological evidence anywhere?

 

[Mushroom]

There were 4-6 Types of Humans/ hominids roaming the World at the same time

But not during this timeframe, and most never left Africa.

During this timeline, we only have H. Sapiens, H. Neanderthal, and H. Erectus. H. Heidelbergensis was already gone, so that only makes three.

To get to your "4-6", you have to jump all the way back to Australopithicus, Rudolgensis, Habilis, Ergaster, Boisei, Erectus, and Naledi. And this was roughly 2 million years ago. So way-way-way before the time in discussion. And only one of those ventured out of Africa and at a significantly later period of time.

So fix that to saying "roaming Africa", and that is correct. But not 130 kya.

 

[Mushroom]

What we do know, is the timeline of man's diaspora from Africa is constantly being pushed back.

Not really. There is no question that humans left Africa over 2 million years ago. So what, you are trying to claim they left even before that? Based on what evidence?

All species are constantly evolving. Even we are still constantly evolving today.

However, the last 3 million years has been a rough time for all life on our planet. This is because the constant glaciation cycle our planet has been in has been making it hard for species to survive through the multiple and repeated bouncing back and forth between ice age climates to tropical climates, then right back to Ice Age again.

We know that out last living "cousin" was Neanderthal, and it is less a case that they "became extinct" and more a case of "they became us". As thanks to advances in recovering ancient DNA we know that there was a fair amount of cross-breeding between Sapiens and Neanderthal.

But Neanderthal had evolved a hell of a lot of traits that suited them to an existence along the edges of the ice sheets. And while they had some of the most advanced weapons of the era, they were all hand held weapons. They had spears, but the thrusting kind and not the throwing kind. Meanwhile, Sapiens evolved in an even hotter and drier climate and developed throwing weapons. Thrown spears are known to have existed among them 400 kya, and there is some conjecture based on some spears found they had also developed the atlatl.

But it is interesting that Hominids did not develop until the ice age cycles began, and there have evolved over a dozen different species in the past 3 million years. And as a clarification, that is 8 Hominids and 7 closely related Australopithecus (there is still debate as to if they are actually hominids or their own distinct species).

Not according to Steven Gould. Evolution is not constant its punctuated which makes sense

Stephen Jay Gould, along with Niles Eldredge, proposed the theory of punctuated equilibrium in 1972, which posits that species evolve in long periods of stasis (little or no change), punctuated by short bursts of rapid evolutionary change and speciation. This contrasts with the traditional view of phyletic gradualism, which suggests continuous, slow evolution, and is based on patterns observed in the fossil record where species tend to appear suddenly and then persist without significant change.

Neanderthals didnt have well developed prefrontal cortex.

Could have an advanced species developed and died long before we took over
