I have seen the foolish taking root: Job 5:3
The discovery in June 2020 of hominin footprints more than 106,000 years old next to El Asperillo (Matalascañas, Huelva) was a revolution for the scientific world, so much so that it was considered one of the most important discoveries of that year. But now, the publication of this new paper has confirmed what some experts suspected at the time: those footprints were much older and are in fact 200,000 years older than previously thought.
Believe it or not. You are within rights to believe it not, for reasons discussed below.
The old story was that these must have been Neanderthal footprints.
But since they are 200,000 years older “than previously thought,” the
paleoanthropologists must (according to the evolutionary timeline) put
them closer to the mythical species Homo heidelbergensis (“Heidelberg man”). Evolution comes first; data must fit the timeline of evolution.
At first the footprints were thought to be from Neanderthals, but that is now in doubt. The main hypothesis among the scientists is that the footprints came from individuals of the Neanderthal lineage, with which Homo heidelbergensis and Homo neanderthalensis have been associated. The hypothesis that the prints belonged to pre-Neanderthal hominins is feasible.
Q: Feasible to whom?
Q: Did you get to vote on that?
Q: Did they use a feasibility-meter?
Q: What are the units?
Q: What, exactly, is a “pre-Neanderthal”?
Curiously, evolutionists find widely-separated human tracks all over Europe at vastly different points on their timeline:
Until now, according to the Scientific Reports paper, footprints this period have only been found at Terra Amata and Roccamonfina (Italy), and were dated to between 380,000 and 345,000 years ago, with records of Homo heidelbergensis. They are the only ones older than those at Huelva in this era. After these, findings at the Biache-Vaast (France) and Theopetra (Greece) sites, from 236,000 to 130,000 years ago, are attributed to Homo neanderthalensis.
This evolutionary story requires belief that upright-walking,
tool-making, fire-using human beings capable of migrating across
continents walked throughout Europe (Spain, Italy and Greece) for
275,000 years, almost 30 times the length of all recorded human history
(during which men went from shacks to exploring Pluto), without ever
inventing a wheel, building a permanent house, planting a crop, riding a
horse or raising cattle." CEH
