    They never found evidence of humans in North America before?

    Denny phoned. He says do not trust those scientists. They're just in it to make money. Unless they're anti-drug scientists.

    I have seen actual humans for years in North America. I am thinking of publishing a paper on it

    Maris actually planted all of the evidence during his Florida trip just to play the long-con on Denny.

    I don't see why this finding is suspect.

    It's scientists who've resisted the concept of people being here earlier than they've been saying all along.

    It wouldn't surprise me if humans arose in many places in the world at about the same time, not just migration from Africa.

    The human skull that challenges the Out of Africa theory

    The ‘Petralona man’, or Archanthropus of Petralona, as it has since been called, was found to be 700,000 years old, making it the oldest human europeoid (presenting European traits) of that age ever discovered in Europe. Dr Poulianos’ research showed that the Petralona man evolved separately in Europe and was not an ancestor of a species that came out of Africa.

    In 1964, independent German researchers, Breitinger and Sickenberg, tried to dismiss Dr Poulianos’ findings, arguing that the skull was only 50,000 years old and was indeed an ancestor that came from Africa. However, research published in the US in 1971 in the prestigious Archaeology magazine, backed up the findings that the skull was indeed 700,000 years old. This was based on an analysis of the cave’s stratigraphy and the sediment in which the skull was embedded. Further research in the cave discovered isolated teeth and two pre-human skeletons dating back 800,000 years, as well as other fossils of various species.

    Today, most academics who have analyzed the Petralona remains say that the cranium of the Archanthropus of Petralona belongs to an archaic hominid distinguished from Homo erectus, and from both the classic Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans, but showing characterists of all those species and presenting strong European traits. A skull dating back 700,000 which is either Homo sapien or part Homo sapien is in direct conflict with the Out of Africa theory of human evolution.

    You're confusing science and religion again. It's religion that has resisted and fought the concept of people being here earlier than what the bible says.

    No proto-human species (homo erectus etc.) have ever been documented in NA, so unlike Europe there was nothing here for humans to arise from.

    All right, since nobody here wants to mention the elephant mastodon in the room, I'll say it. It's obviously because of aliens. How else would you explain it?

    They keep finding evidence of humans in the americas further and further back in time.

    But I didn't say that humans originated in the americas.

    Something like this:
