A comment further up said they used Optically Stimulated Luminescence to date the sediment that tuned in to rock. You can read about the dating technique [here](https://www.baylor.edu/geosciences/index.php?id=955929#:~:text=Optically%20stimulated%20luminescence%20(OSL). The rock and the footprint must be the same age as the footprint was made while the sediment was still soft. It was then rapidly covered by more sediment, preserving the impression. Over hundreds of thousands of years, the sediment solidified under the pressure of the overlaying material.

Somehow, this makes it even more fantastical. A dude just out for a walk. 300,000 years ago. Maybe he took his dog with him.

Most likely it was Homo heidelbergensis.

I believe it was between 1939-1942. This claim was also paired with they found Chinese and Japanese officers who were working together to bloodlessly take and retake cities to look good for their commanding officers. The book is the William Donovan Biography by Richard Dunlop.
​
It also has the claim in it that Szmul Zygielbojm specifically killed himself because FDR refused to bomb Auschwitz after Szmul gave proof to Arthur Goldberg, who gave it to William Donovan, who showed it to FDR, FDR refused to redirect planes, this gets back to Szmul, and he kills himself in protest. No mention of any of this or even a connection between the people involved on Wikipedia.

The Dude abides. My Neanderthal guy was just looking for some milk for his Caucasians.

Scientism isn't a thing. It's a term / idea invented by YEC as a rebuttal to the statement that "faith is not a path to truth". A sort of "I know you are but what am I?". Materialism or Naturalism may be more accurate way of describing people who believe naturalistic evidence as described via scientific methods - even if they personally do not fully understand the methods used.

He thinks all non-european accomplishments came from the heavens and takes oral folklore as definitive proof of how history went down. He's a pseudo-science hack.

Considering the fact that modern human fossils have been found at Jebel Irhoud, Morocco, which date back some 360,000 years…. It’s quite possible it was anatomically modern humans. Or at least extremely close.
My bet is that the age of humanity will keep getting older and older the more we discover. And as archeology starts to explore the areas covered by water (but were not covered 12k+ years ago)… our understanding of human history will drastically change to include a lost civilization of modern humans in the last 100k years. A civilization that had the capacity to map the planet, had a understanding of the precessional cycle and the dimensions of the planet. As well as a vast understanding of astronomy and geometry.

Yep.
Hominoidea (hominoid: those resembling man): All old-world apes
Hominidea (hominid: those akin to man): Great apes
Hominini (hominin: man-like): humans and chimps
Homo (man): humans and our closest cousins
The proposed subtribe homininan (very man-like) would exclude chimpanzees but include australopithecines.
The less-common hominineae (hominine: those very akin to man(?)) would sit just below the hominids and include gorillas, chimps, and folks while excluding orangutans.

Homo is Latin for human, so yes, that's correct.
Edit: apparently there are debates about this, too.
Not to be confused with homo in Greek, which means same.

I never heard about it. Supposedly it happened during the Chinese civil war / invasion of Japan? During the WW2? Or after?

So, in a sense both parties disappointed their original bases and we're moving into the opposite base with shiny new promises.

But he’s described as that unfairly. You should take those comments with a grain of salt as well

I am pretty sure I heard the biologists here in the NWT talking about how they had genetic evidence that there were multiple generations of growlars.
