An Asian Origin For Human Ancestors?
InfiniteZero writes "Researchers agree that our immediate ancestors, the upright walking apes, arose in Africa. But the discovery of a new primate that lived about 37 million years ago in the ancient swamplands of Myanmar bolsters the idea that the deep primate family tree that gave rise to humans is rooted in Asia. If true, the discovery suggests that the ancestors of all monkeys, apes, and humans—known as the anthropoids—arose in Asia and made the arduous journey to the island continent of Africa almost 40 million years ago."
Niggers and spics. Kikes, too!
I've always felt humans are one of those "freak animals" that develop on isolated islands like platypus or finches with giant beaks or whatever. We were probably trapped on some remote island and developed these giant freak brains and then eventually managed to escape and spread out across the planet.
as we all came from a single cell organism.
Don't Africans lack something in their DNA that most other races have that we supposedly gained from banging some really hot Neanderthals back in the hairy ages?
An Asian-centric origin would seem to go against this.
Mind you, the dates aren't exactly out of order, so it could be.
A migration to and then back from Africa, then we got whatever gene it was again.
Or maybe there was absolutely no migration back out of Africa, outside of the few groups that traveled around and lived around that area.
I'm not sure of the weather patterns back then.
The only weather I am sure of was around the past 100 thousand years.
Certainly interesting.
Well, since we're tracing the origin of our species anyway, why not simply say our ancestors came from the sea? You can't get any further back than that, unless you think that life migrated from outer space.
37 million years ago is a looooong time ago. More than halfway along the time dimension to the age of the dinosaurs. I'm surprised primates arose that quickly.
My AC stalker: " I personally agree with your posts most of the time, but that won't keep me from modding you troll"
make up your mind -it can't be both!
-I'm just sayin'
But the One True Profit, Dr Leaky, said humans came form Africa.
In the beginning, we were all fish. Okay? Swimming around in the water. And then one day a couple of fish had a retard baby, and the retard baby was different, so it got to live. So Retard Fish goes on to make more retard babies, and then one day, a retard baby fish crawled out of the ocean with its mutant fish hands and it had butt sex with a squirrel or something and made this. Retard frog-sqirrel, and then *that* had a retard baby which was a monkey-fish-frog. And then this monkey-fish-frog had butt sex with that monkey, and that monkey had a mutant retard baby that screwed another monkey and that made you!
Please at least use the correct name for the country. It happened 37Ma ago, the junta went rampant only in 1962. We don't use renamed months when talking about Rome by Commodus or Turkmenistan by Niyazov.
The creatures outside looked from Alt-Right to Antifa; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
have known this for decades
Wait, so instead of the slogan "We are all Africans", we might have to change it to "We are all Asian-Africans"?

There is more truth here. http://www.truthsjourney.com/creationevolution.html
Now you have DONE IT!!! They will use this against us for another 40 years. Hehehe.. On the bright side, it will be ever so much fun to twist this thorn into the 'Evolutionist' side. Because you know, they just can't seem to say these little words; "I don't know for sure." Hehehe. I for one, abhore monkeys and so I believe that somewhere along the 'lemur' phase the branch containing feline DNA began developing. I hold cats and dogs in much much higher regard than our psychotic, self serving narcissistic great ape brethren. I believe my family tree originated on that side but branched off around the 'still able to lick your own balls' forking. Come to think of it, I just don't see humans coming from apes. Most people I know are much more like rhesus monkeys or macaques.
I was once a single cell organism about 9 months before I was born.

Why my face frush when drink EtOH?
Buckminster Fuller was right all along

It's something that could arguably be found best in the congruence of factors giving to the rise of our elevated brain activity in a more complete fashion. In that sense, interesting to wonder when it 'came together' as complex activity (tools, large worship sites, etc.) seems to get further pushed back archaeologically more and more.
Why not Zoidberg?
37 Million Years ago, someone already christened that place with the name of "Burma" ?
OL1: Anthropoids don't come from Myanmar - they come from ...
OL2: Burma!
OL1: Burma?!!? Why'd you say 'Burma' ????
OL2: Sory! I panicked!
... and blacks evolved from apes.
As anybody with EYES can see.
But no doubt the 'intelligent but brainwashed' Slashdot idiots will say otherwise, thus denying reality, while claiming to be in favour of 'science'.
Have a look at this:

What does that look like most to you? A black man, or a white man?
Blacks are destroying white societies. MOST white people want to live in all white countries.
If YOU want to live as a white minority among non-whites (which is where idiots like you are sending ALL white people to in the very near future), why aren't you moving to Haiti?
Any answers? Thought not.

Weren't there theories in the early 20th century that humans had evolved from different primates in different places roughly simultaneously (at that time, used as a justification for a sort of patronizing racism - that of course the nonwhite peoples were 'not as evolved' as whites)?
Trying not to resurrect that theory's rationale, but would the article's line of reasoning perhaps suggest that humans MAY in fact have evolved in at least 2 places?
Racism's bad enough today. What would be the result if we figured out that we're actually the result of two SEPARATE human lines who somehow ended up interbreeding?

I knew that's where we originated!! I KNEW there had to be a reason for why we all eat rice and drive slow!
Someday, humans on Earth will know that they are not alone in the universe.
With that new information, humans will not come from ape from Africa or Asian. It will be a Truth that Earth had been many times colonize upon the millions of years that Earth exist.
Science is not Truth, Humans come from the universe.
Isn't that Obvious? ;-P
Aliens needed workforces all around the world, made alien-chimp hybrids all over the world and so we get different kinds of humans originating from various areas of the planet.
It's both simple and mind-boggling!
I always suspected we were descended from Spitfires.
because the circumstances allowed similar evolution? climate, supernovaparticles? big monoliths, who knows how it works yet? no one
i find similarities in the sound of language where i'm from and japanese but none in any of the african sounds, its far fetched ofcourse, and it might indeed lead to master race theories but still, why couldnt it have been like that? All these duds with their huge theories dont have actual proof, just a little evidence and a lot of deduction
Free speech was meant to be free for all... how can anyone grow up in a nanny state ?
