The first ever recorded kiss [discovered so far] happened 4,500 years ago, scientists suggest after discovering evidence that puts the event 1,000 years earlier than previously thought. A study published in the journal Science points to evidence of kissing in the ancient Middle East, in early Mesopotamian societies, documented in ancient texts from 2,500 BCE.
It's just a "Complicated Game"
XTC (Ecstasy), British band with a deep message in "Dear God"
Ah, romance, it will be the death of us, dragging out our time in samsara (the "Continued Wandering On" of death and rebirth, chasing pleasure first here then there always in search of fulfillment that cannot be found in things.)
(BBC via MSN) Humans do it, monkeys do it, even polar bears do it. And now researchers have reconstructed the evolutionary origins of kissing. Their study suggests that the mouth-on-mouth kiss evolved more than 21 million years ago, and was something that the common ancestor of humans and other great apes probably indulged in.
The same research concluded that Neanderthals may have kissed too – and that [modern] humans and Neanderthals may even have smooched one another. The scientists studied kissing because it presents something of an evolutionary puzzle -- it has no obvious survival or reproductive benefits. Yet, it is something that is seen not just in many human societies, but across the animal kingdom. More
Scientists studying a 4.4-million-year-old fossil named Ardi may have uncovered the evolutionary step ["missing link"] that turned ancient [nonhuman] climbers into early [human-hybrid] walkers
Here’s what there is to learn when reading this Popular Mechanics' story:
Ardi is the oldest known partial skeleton of a hominin and shows foot features that are transitioning from vertical climbing to bipedal walking.
While Ardi has the primitive grasping big toe of the more apelike human ancestors that came before her, other parts of her feet are more evolved.
It is Ardi’s talus, a bone in the ankle, that lies somewhere between the morphology of the same bone in apes and humans.
As humans, it’s important to remember that some of our oldest primate ancestors were apelike creatures.
Besides our much larger brains and visibly obvious differences, such as facial [structure and] features, one thing we evolved to be much more adept at than chimps and gorillas (which we, according to Darwinism, diverged from millions of years ago) is walking on two feet.
But just when did human predecessors first descend from the trees and walk upright?
A 4.4-million-year-old female skeleton named Ardi may answer that question. Predating even the iconic Lucy (Australopithecus) by a million years, she belongs to the species Ardipithecus ramidus and is revealing more about our human origins and how we became bipedal.
Unearthed in the Ethiopian desert back in 1994, Ardi is the oldest known partial hominin skeleton, though her species has been known since 1925 under the name Australopithecus ramidus.
Biological anthropologist Thomas Prang of Washington University in St. Louis and his research team discovered that Ardi was able to walk upright but still retained a grasping foot and other apelike features.
“Our observations of the human and ape fossil record are inconsistent with recently proposed models of human origins, which envision the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees as a generalized arboreal ape,” he said in a study recently published in Communications Biology.
“Instead, our results strongly imply that humans evolved from an African ape-like ancestor.”

My name is Kaylee, and I guess it's safe to... (13:41)
Homo sapiens [not plural homos ("mankind") but Latin for "Thinking man"] belong[s] to the Homo-Pan clade, a group that evolved from a common ancestor and includes [violent, aggressive, militant] chimpanzees, [peaceful sex-centered hippie] bonobos, and both extant and extinct hominin species [Sasquatch, Bigfoot, Almasty, Yakkhas, Yeti, Orang Pendek, etc.]
This is part of a larger clade that gorillas also belong to. It has been argued that Ar. ramidus was more humanlike than apelike and had already evolved out of climbing trees vertically and dropping to all fours and walking on its knuckles in order to get around on land.
What Dr. Prang found was that Ardi is a mashup of primitive and modern features. She has a big toe designed for grasping branches, but other features of her feet, cranial base, and pelvis suggest that her species was adapting to bipedalism.
There is one bone that especially stands out: Ardi’s talus, a bone in the ankle which is also the second largest bone in the back of the foot. It transfers body weight between the lower leg and foot and helps African apes climb.
The talus enables dorsiflexion, or the backwards flexing of the foot, and inversion, the sideways turning of the foot. Both put the animal’s center of mass in a position closer to support, so apes are at much less risk of suffering lethal backward falls.
In ape species that primarily climb trees and primarily use dorsiflexion for vertical climbing, the forefoot is shorter than those of bipeds and quadrupeds, so Dr. Prang’s team turned its focus to the front of Ardi’s foot and also figured out her approximate body mass using the widths of the talar trochlea, or the upper joint surface of the talus.
There have been previous arguments that the morphology of the talar trochlea may not be the greatest indicator of how apes and early humans moved. Gorillas, chimps, bonobos, and gibbons have short forefeet for their body masses, while orangutans and larger monkeys have the longest forefeet.
The human forefoot is longer than those of chimps and gorillas and shorter than those monkeys, but there is still some overlap with bonobos. More
Extraterrestrials have intervened many times.
Michael Cremo, the Forbidden Archeologist, has something to say to the contrary: Human life is FAR older on this earth (bhumi) than science yet admits. And "modern humans" are a misnomer because we are far older, according to ooparts and other pieces of inconvenient (and suppressed) evidence in the fossil and archeological record: We are not evolving but devolving and have been for hundreds of millions of years (in yugas and kalpas as declared by the Dharmic religions).
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.
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?

It looks fake, like a man in a suit, but that face
Do Buddhists really believe in cryptids? There was a famous interaction between the Buddha and a "Bigfoot" called the Ogre (Yakkha, Yaksha,Rakshasa) Alavaka, which produced the Alavaka Sutra
These creatures are varieties of Yeti, different kinds of hominid primates. They are 100% real. (Some seem to be interdimensional with uncanny superhuman powers, which makes considering them "real" problematic).
Tibetan lore describes three main varieties of Yetis:
the Nyalmo, which has black fur and is the largest and fiercest, standing around 15 feet tall;
the Chuti, which stands around 8 feet tall and lives at an altitude of 8,000-10,000 feet (2,400 and 3,000 m) above sea level; and
the Rang Shim Bombo, which has reddish-brown fur and is only 3-5 feet (0.91 and 1.52 m) tall [12].
Other terms used by Himalayan peoples, many of them Vajrayana (Esoteric) Buddhists, do not translate exactly the same, but refer to legendary and indigenous wildlife:
Michê (Tibetan མི་དྲེད་, Wylie mi dred, ZYPY Michê), which translates as "man-bear" [8, 13].
Dzu-teh – dzu translates as "cattle" and the full meaning translates as "cattle bear," referring to the Himalayan brown bear [7][10][14][15].
Migoi or Mi-go (Tibetan མི་རྒོད་, Wylie mi rgod, ZYPY Migö/Mirgö) translates as "wild man" [10][15].
Bun Manchi – Nepali for "jungle man" that is used outside Sherpa communities where Yeti is the common name [16].
Mirka – another name for "wild-man."
Local legend holds that "anyone who sees one dies or is killed." The latter is taken from a written statement by Frank Smythe's Sherpas in 1937 [17].
In Russian folklore, the Chuchuna is an entity said to dwell in Siberia. It has been described as 6-7 feet tall and covered with dark hair.
According to the native accounts from the nomadic Buddhist Yakut and Tungus tribes, it is a well-built, Neanderthal-like man wearing pelts and bearing a white patch of fur on its forearms.
It is said to occasionally consume human flesh (cannibalism because it is understood to be a kind of human, not an animal), unlike their close cousins, the Almas, Almasty, or Almastis. More: Yeti

Researchers find a structure older than humans, which tells us a lot about our early ancestors
You ancestors built that, Douglas. Tell them.
Scientists have discovered primitive wooden tools and structures of about 476,000 years old at a site in Zambia's Kalambo Falls.
This new discovery runs contrary to what we have always been told about the lives of the species that existed before the ancient Homo sapiens.
First, the discovery of these tools, which pre-date the oldest modern humans, is proof that our early ancestors were knowledgeable about construction.
Based on these findings, it's safe to conclude that the unknown hominin species that existed before Homo sapiens were intelligent and resourceful [much like bonobos, gorillas, chimps, orangutans, monkeys, almas, and sasquatches].
Am I your predecessor, modern humans?
They made the best use of their surroundings by harnessing the resources at their disposal to produce innovative results.
According to the research, the wooden structure, which is older than humanity, had "two interlocking logs joined transversely by an intentionally cut notch."
This shows that the species that pre-dated the evolution of Homo sapiens were smart enough to conceive ideas beyond their immediate and tangible environment.
What's more, the researchers also discovered a cut log, digging stick, and other tools that were well-preserved because they were left in a waterlogged area that gave no room for bacterial degradation. More
A woman in Australia says her family was tormented by Yowies (Australian version of Sasquatch) after they moved into their new rental and that, at one point, she saw a mysterious entity lurking alongside the creatures.
Jackie Liversidge recalled the 2016 experience for the first time in a report to the Australian Yowie Research organization. According to her it all began when they rented a cottage in the town of Tarzali, Queensland and immediately felt like something was wrong.
The first sign of strangeness, according to Liversidge, was when something began throwing pebbles onto the roof of the home. Shortly thereafter, her son was outside at night and heard "a very loud demonic animal growl."
The family spent the next few months in a state of high alert as they felt they were being watched by an unseen observer (an eerie entity or another Yowie) and often heard the sound of something sizeable moving around outside the home.
Liversidge's tale culminates with a jaw-dropping sighting of the creatures. She was outside at night when she heard "someone walking." She turned a flashlight at the noise and was astonished to see a humanoid creature that she described as "pitch black, hairy, and the size of a chimpanzee."
Before Liversidge could process what she was seeing, she realized there were "two other sets of glowing eyes" looking at her family. She realized the mysterious creature was not alone.
Based on the height of the glowing eyes, she said, it appeared the creature's companions were considerably larger than it was, and she surmised that it was probably a family of Yowies.
Liversidge managed to get a long, clear look at the trio and observed that they "walked with big, long strides," seemed to have arms longer than a human's, and sharp, black nails. More
The reptilian (naga) Lacerta Files 1 and 2. Used IVONA Text to Speech voices: American-English Joey for male voice; British-English Amy for female voice.
Introduction
I [P.S.] certify that the following text is the absolute truth and no work of fiction. These are parts of a transcript of an interview I’ve made with a non-human and reptilian being in December 1999 and April 2000.
This female being was already in contact with a friend of mine (whose name is given only with the abbreviation E.F. in the text) since some months.
What is a "reptilian" in Buddhism? Nāga is the Sanskrit and Buddhist Pali word for a class of advanced entities or beings taking the form of a very great snake, specifically the king cobra, found in the Indian religions of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism. A female nāga is a nāgī or nāgiṇī.ETYMOLOGY: In Sanskrit, a nāgá(नाग) is a cobra, the Indian cobra (Naja naja). A synonym for nāgá is phaṇin (फणिन्). There are several words for "snake" in general, and one of the very commonly used ones is sarpá (सर्प).More
(Dr. Phil) How can an attractive brown haired woman be a reptoid?
Ancient India knew of the nagas.
Let me declare, that I was all my life a skeptic about UFOs, aliens, and other weird things, and I thought that E.F. tells me just dreams or fictitious stories when he talked with me about his First Contacts with the non-human being "Lacerta."
This is not another of that wrong UFO papers which claim to tell the truth but tell in fact just fiction, I’m convinced that this transcript contains the only truth and therefore you should read it.
If you receive it, please send it to all your friends via e-mail or make printouts and copy them.
There are many saurian (naga) species.
Lacerta: Open your eyes and see. Don’t believe only in your wrong history or your scientists or your politicians.
Some of them know the truth about various things, but they don’t inform the public to avoid confusion and panic.
The Buddha met many nagas or reptoids.
I think your species is not as bad as some of my kind thinks, and it would be a pity to observe your end. That’s everything I can say. Go through your world with open eyes and you will see -- or maybe not. Your kind is ignorant. LINK:
Reptile fossils hint at wide diversity of dinosaur ancestors
Reptiles have been on earth a long time.
(AP, April 12, 2017) Fossils of a
four-legged, meat-eating reptile [Teleocrater rhadinus] are helping paint a more complicated
picture of the ancestry of dinosaurs than scientists had understood. The
creature was not a direct ancestor, but was more like a cousin. It
lived about 245 million years ago, roughly 10 million years before
dinosaurs appeared. It's the oldest known member of an evolutionary
branch of animals that eventually led to dinosaurs and pterosaurs,
living relatively soon after that branch split away from the ancestry of
crocodiles. More
"Reptilians and Gods" Betsey Lewis, George Noory (coasttocoastam.com, 4/11/17) edited by Wisdom Quarterly
We are the gods.
Author, clairvoyant, and earth mysteries investigator Betsey Lewis
presented her latest research into the ancient worship of serpent gods. Did a species of intelligent Reptilian "aliens" (or are they the original inhabitants and we ourselves the alien arrivals?) evolve on
our planet and interact with humankind for millennia?
Troodon (Paleontologist Dale Russell)
The
intelligent dino theory has been proposed by people such as
paleontologist Dale Russell, who pondered how a troodon might have
evolved. (View a hypothetical model
of such a being).
Lewis postulated that the Reptilians moved
underground or underwater, and that's why they are not generally
observed. She cited the testimony of Thomas Costello, a security officer
at an alleged underground base at Dulce, New Mexico, where he was said
to witness Reptilian beings, before a firefight took place between
various alien factions and humans.
Civilizations worldwide have worshiped serpent gods, she said, and there
is evidence in ancient texts, wall carvings, cave art, and ancient
stones from Peru [and India, Mexico, South America, North America, Egypt, and throughout Asia] to support this idea.
Thousands of people vanish each
year under mysterious circumstances, and this could be related to a dark
agenda of the serpent beings, she indicated: They could be in collusion with the government abducting, experimenting on, and impregnating or genetically manipulating countless humans.
Further, Betsey Lewis suggested the mysterious hums and booming noises heard
over the years may be related to construction and activity in the
Reptilians' underground facilities. More+AUDIO
This is a documentary on the Native American lore of Sasquatch (Halkomelemsásq'ets, Buddhist yakshi and yeti), popularly called "Bigfoot" as if there were only one.
It examines ancient stories and folklore to uncover the truth about the mythical human band or tribe of ogre, the "Wild Hairy Men of the Mountain."
It looks at what Native American legends say about this ancient tribe of humans (ogres) used in the creation of Homo sapiens.
