I think the base theory, that monkeys ate shrooms since they were easy to get, then seeked them out since it was shrooms is solid enough.
since animals have been documented preferring shrooms and seeking them out when they can

Well no, it would prove that the theory needs to be modified not that it is thoroughly untrue.

Did you read this? It explicitly says that's not human remains, it's hominine remains. Very interesting, because it suggests humans might have diverged from chimpanzees earlier and elsewhere than where we originally thought. But not enough to totally shelf the wealth of scientific research in favour of out of Africa theory.

>> No.11709368

>>11709343
that's not even an interesting observation though, there's no evidence its a major part of the paleolithic diet at all or that it had dramatic effects on the evolution of the human nervous system. Why would we care? Like it just doesn't mean anything.

Even if the earliest hominins originated in Eurasia (which might be further proved by the Trachilos footprints), the origin of the hominin branch from which humans (Homo sapiens) descend and humans themselves can still be traced to Africa, so things don't change much.

>"The New Age is essentially humanistic psychology '80s-style, with the addition of neo-shamanism, channeling, crystal and herbal healing. The archaic revival is a much larger, more global phenomenon that assumes that we are recovering the social forms of the late neolithic, and reaches far back in the 20th century to Freud, to surrealism, to abstract expressionism, even to a phenomenon like National Socialism. The stress on ritual, on organized activity, on race/ancestor-consciousness – these are themes that have been worked out throughout the entire 20th century, and the archaic revival is an expression of that."

it means that niggers are less human than the rest of us which is pretty significant don't you think anon?

>> No.11709400

>>11709392
>less human
No, it would mean niggers are a somewhat genetically distinct kind of human which we already knew.

Did out of Africa theory make the mainstream scientific community decide Asians are subhuman? No, because speciation isn't a competition to be "the purest" and if it was then we ought to be holding up Chimpanzees as the master race.

>> No.11709405

>>11709400
No it would mean they're phylogenetically distinct from the other races, as are asians, and that this would make them subhumans since the peoples of the Mammoth steppe have a different morphology, ethology and general subsistence pattern than basically relic populations that somehow persisted for hundreds of thousands of years in a biogeographic stasis induced by malaria and tropical environs.

They're already working on it man, just give them a few decades and wait for authoritarian government to become the norm. HBD is going to annihilate every edifice of pretended ignorance from smart people who know better but feel bad about 'x' from the last few centuries. They're literally not as human as people who evolved in the northern climes and this is evident to anyone who isn't trying desperately to avoid the implications (total quarantine and possibly sterilizing the whole population of niger-congo regions)

No, it doesn't, you utter brainlet.
Plus, given that modern H. sapiens is the result of continuous interbreeding with multiple species of hominins in and out of Africa for hundreds of thousands of years, there's no such a thing as more or less human.

for believing in materialist bullshit like evolution. All you're doing is extrapolating modern technique onto the ontological past. Evolution suddenly became a reality because we have the concepts to explain it. If we developed some other field of technique, like nanotech, we could end up seeing evidence of nanotech devices creating the first cell. It's just reflections of life in the now onto our idea of "past" none of it is real. Last thursdayism is 100% legit
