Human origins in Turkey, Europe?


8.7-million-year-old skull just discovered in Turkey rewrites history!
These are my ancestors, the hominines
(Discovery Future) A groundbreaking discovery in Turkey (Türkiye) is challenging the long-held belief that humans and great apes evolved exclusively in Africa.

Meet Anadoluvius turkae, an 8.7-million-year-old fossil that has sparked a bold hypothesis: The evolutionary lineage leading to humans — known as hominines — may have originated in Europe before migrating to Africa.
Cuvier at Paleontology Museum
Unearthed from the Çorakyerler fossil site in northern Turkey (central Anatolia), this remarkably well-preserved partial cranium sheds new light on our evolutionary past.

Scientists believe that Anadoluvius turkae lived in dry forest environments alongside animals like giraffes, zebras, and lion-like predators, many of which later migrated to Africa.

The implications are profound. If true, this discovery suggests that hominines evolved and diversified in Europe for over 5,000,000 (five million) years before spreading to the eastern Mediterranean and eventually moving into Africa.

This challenges the traditional "Out of Africa" narrative and rekindles debates about where our earliest ancestors first emerged.

Join us as we explore the fascinating story of Anadoluvius turkae, delve into the broader context of primate evolution, and examine the shifting environments that may have driven these migrations.

What does this mean for our understanding of human origins? And what mysteries still await beneath the earth?

Native Americans know Sasquatch is real

Top15s, 3/18/17; Monstrum (PBS, 9/7/23); Xochitl, Seth Auberon, Seven, Wisdom Quarterly
Just as the Parks Department posts signs today, ancient American Indians used pictographs.

Top 15 most convincing sightings caught on tape
Stand still! I'm trying to get proof you exist. - But I don't want all humans to know we exist.
.
AI generates composite image from descriptions
(Top15s) This Top 15 list searched the Web for the most convincing Bigfoot sightings caught on tape.

People have dedicated their lives to finding more than seeing a Sasquatch but bagging it and bringing it to the feet of science and finding a lab with the guts to publish the findings without trying to say it's a bear or unknown cryptid (like Dr. Melba Ketchum has done only to be discredited by all the people capitalizing on Bigfoot hysteria or making In Search Of-style TV shows, which would come to an end once it's certain).

I can sense them in the area, staring.
How can one prove the existence of a cryptid skunk ape if no evidence is good enough? Until more are shot to death and hauled in rather than buried when the hunter realizes they are a kind of human species (too close to us for comfort) rather than hairy apes, motivated by the wrong reasons, such as fame and riches. These motives have resulted in hoaxes in the past and, what's worse, the powers-that-be have forced successful hunters to redact their stories and evidence or else.
  • It's a bipedal primategreat ape, like a Bonobo
    (Evidence that such "powers" are keeping this cryptid's existence a secret comes from the fact that many park rangers know they exist and will say so in private, have listed the creatures as protected species without explanation, and have the government chase and hunt them, with military labs keeping a close eye on their strange biology. Look into it. Take a deep dive.
  • The Buddha confronted Yakkha Alavaka (SN I.10)
    If asked, Does Wisdom Quarterly believe? The answer is, Absolutely. Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, and Sikh cosmologies replete with these creatures (nature protectors/fiendish ogres, two distinct kinds with individual personalities, some peaceful, some vicious). Moreover, American Lloyd Pye laid to rest any doubts for Western, science-minded, where's-the-cold-hard-evidence types like us. Dr. Melba Ketchum's published evidence is convincing, forensic, scientific, and has DNA, hair, and saliva samples, as well as close up footage. BFRO, retired police detective David "Missing 411" Paulides, and other notables investigate more quietly and get in less trouble. But the science is clear: Sasquatch is here and has been since Europeans arrived to tell other Europeans about it. Natives knew all along).

It's clearly a smelly beast but its face is human.
Top15s is not trying to prove these videos are real or fake. This is simply an analysis. Let those with eyes see and decide for themselves.

Uncovering the Enigma: Sasquatch sightings and our deep fear of the wild | Monstrum
Yeti is an upright "bear" hominid, a class of wild human with language, intelligence, powers.
.
(Storied) Sept. 7, 2023: Is "Bigfoot" (Sasquatch, Yakkha, Rakshasa. Almas) a benevolent nature protecting beast or a bloodthirsty cannibal killer? Yes. It depends on whom one asks and when. Regardless, the Native American legend of Sasquatch dates back thousands of years and still captivates us to this day.

(Wiki) Many Indian tribes, Native Americans, the indigenous cultures of North America speak of mysterious hair-covered creatures living in forests [32].

Truth about their comings and goings it too much
According to anthropologist David Daegling, these Native legends existed long before contemporary reports by Euro-Americans of "Bigfoot."

Moreover, Buddhism and ancient Indian and proto-Indian tradition is well aware of forest protectors and cannibal wild men like the Yeti.

These stories differ in regional details and between families in the same community but are particularly prevalent in the Pacific Northwest [33].

The problem is the "high strangeness"
On the Tule River Indian Reservation, petroglyphs created by a tribe of Yokuts at a site called Painted Rock seem to depict a group of Bigfoot called "The Family" [34]. The local tribespeople call the largest of the glyphs "Hairy Man," and they are estimated to be between 500 and 1,000 years old [35].

Sixteenth century Spanish explorers and Mexican settlers told tales of the los Vigilantes Oscuros, or "the Dark Watchers," large creatures alleged to stalk camps at night [36].

In the region that is now Mississippi, a Jesuit priest was living with the Natchez in 1721 and reported stories of hairy creatures in the forest known to scream loudly and steal livestock [37]. More

Hominoids, evolution, and us (video)

Pat Macpherson, Dhr. Seven, CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly; LloydPye.com; SciShow
Science vs. science: We did not evolve by gradual transition as we are taught (26:50).
Human origins? Everything we are told is wrong. But science and truth will surface.
 
The revolving evolving theory (RU)
(Nov. 2011) Lecturer Lloyd Pye puts it all together -- human origins and who we are as a species. Pye explains, with an amazing degree of scientific certainty, the four types of hominids on the Earth today (their archeological lines and distribution on the planet). Why has Wisdom Quarterly been talking about cryptozoology, "forbidden" archeology, ancient Indian and Sumerian mythology, or any other "outlandish" topic? We dare to question, to find in these verboten topics something about ourselves as earthling human beings. There are other kinds of humans, as we have pointed out before. But it will be a long time before mainstream science will admit its biases, errors, and cover-ups.

Hominoids (primates, prehumans): Yetis (upper montane, Himalayan range), Sasquatches (lower montane forests generally peaceful, probably omnivorous mainly-plant eaters, to be distinguished from cannibals, which Native Americans and Forest Service anthropologist Kathy Moskowitz Strain call "Hairy Man" and consider human), Almas (lower montane, possibly remnant Neanderthals, a human species surviving in Southern Russia and Western China), and Agogwes or the pygmies of the group mainly residing in jungles (South America [duende?], Africa, Indonesia). Where this would leave Australia's Yowie/Yahoo is unclear, but it is described as a Sasquatch by Aboriginals down under.

All of these "ogres" may be described by the general Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain term "yaksha" (yakshi, yakkha, yakshasa, rakshasa) -- intelligent brutes and beasts living apart from humans. The most famous is featured in the texts by the name of the Yakkha Alavaka. Yakkhas are cannibalistic hominoid* creatures so crafty and mean that the term is often simply translated as "demon." This is not to suggest that they are actually "demons" (titans, hellions) or devils, but simply brutally callous to human suffering.
The Buddha and the ogre (yakkha) Alavaka
The closest Buddhism comes to a "creation myth" is the arrival of advanced life forms on Earth (Bhumi) from space/sky (akasha deva loka) or "the heavens," a celestial plane. They then devolve into us, "Man." Interestingly, the word for the human realm is manusya-loka. This is gleaned from the Aggañña Sutra. What most fail to notice is that this discourse, often translated as "A Buddhist Genesis," does not talk about how life or existence originated. The story is about how "human" or humanoid life arrives on this planet cyclically. This did not happen one time; it happens over and over. The Buddha is famous for using Vedic lore and popular conceptions, imbuing them with a lesson, a parable of sorts. The sutra is very general and covers spans of time only Michael Cremo could countenance because ancient Indian time is measured in great aeons (maha kalpas), ages (kalpas), and epochs, which are indeterminate periods of time too large to measure and staggering to contemplate.
 
We are lied to about our origins on Earth
*HOMINOID: Some or all hominoids are also called "apes" [humans being the "naked ape" according to Desmond Morris; see below]. However, "ape" is used in different senses. It has been used as a synonym for "monkey" or for any tailless primate with a humanlike appearance. So the Barbary macaque, a kind of monkey, is popularly called the "Barbary ape" to indicate its lack of a tail. Biologists have used "ape" to mean a member of the superfamily Hominoidea other than humans, or more recently to mean all members of the superfamily Hominoidea, so that "ape" becomes another word for "hominoid." See Primate: Historical and modern terminology.

(Nov. 2013) The SciShow (Subbable, Facebook, Tumblr) explains where this over-simplified "March of Progress" magazine image of Darwin's evolution comes from. The scientist who used it was not confused, but we have been led to take this literally. What is it actually supposed to mean? SOURCES: wiki, evolution.berkeley.edu, mentalfloss.com, sci-news.com
  
The truth is much stranger than fiction.
We may be related to the "apes," but we did not evolve on Earth as they did. Archeologist Michael Cremo has found and presented evidence for the extreme antiquity of "modern" humans (Homo sapien sapiens). We are far older than 120,000 years, far older than 1,000,000 years, older than 100,000,000 years... How is this possible? What was here, what has been here and come to its demise, did not evolve from the popular fossil record many scientists use to theorize our origins on the planet. Evolution is occurring; this is not a fundamentalist Christian argument. But, as Cremo points out, we are currently devolving. Intentional genetic manipulation made us who we are, as Pye describes, and as the historical record from ancient Sumer and Egypt documents.
 
The Naked Ape
Naked Ape (amazon.com)
"A startling view of man [modern humans, the Homo sapien sapiens], stripped of the facade we try so hard to hide behind." In view of [hu]man's awesome creativity and resourcefulness, we may be inclined to regard [ourselves] as descended from the angels, yet, in his brilliant study, Desmond Morris reminds us that man is relative to the apes -- is in fact, the greatest primate of all. With knowledge gleaned from primate ethnology, zoologist Morris examines sex, child-rearing, exploratory habits, fighting, feeding, and much more to establish our surprising bonds to the animal kingdom and add substance to the discussion that has provoked controversy and debate the world over. Natural History Magazine praised The Naked Ape as "stimulating... thought-provoking... [Morris] has introduced some novel and challenging ideas and speculations." "He minces no words," said Harper's.  "He lets off nothing in our basic relation to the animal kingdom to which we belong... He is always specific, startling, but logical." More

New species of Ape discovered in Asia

Scientists discover new ape species in Asia
BERLIN (AFP) — German scientists said on Tuesday they had discovered a new rare and endangered ape species in the tropical rainforests between Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia by its distinctive song. The new type of crested gibbon, one of the most endangered primate species in the world, is called the northern buffed-cheeked gibbon or Nomascus annamensis, a statement from the German Primate Centre (DPZ) said. "The discovery of a new species of ape is a minor sensation," said Christian Roos from the DPZ. "An analysis of the frequency and tempo of their calls, along with genetic research, show that this is, in fact, a new species." More>>

Study: Animals Make Plans

STOCKHOLM, Sweden – A canny chimpanzee who calmly collected a stash of rocks and then hurled them at zoo visitors in fits of rage has confirmed that apes can plan ahead just like humans, a Swedish study said Monday.

Santino the chimpanzee's anti-social behavior stunned both visitors and keepers at the Furuvik Zoo but fascinated researchers because it was so carefully prepared. More>>
