2012 alone, President Obama and Congress plan to spend $3.79 trillion. That is $10.4 billion a day that we have to live on, and we borrow more than $4 billion of that each day just to stay afloat (40%)

A trillion seconds was… just short of 32,000 years ago!

That’s back in the day when man wasn’t even known as MAN… we were homo sapiens, Neanderthals, to be exact!

 

The second from the right… Homo neanderthalensis.

I don’t know about you, but that certainly helps put it into perspective for me.

32,000 years ago, a trillion seconds, was a very, very long time ago.

And, if you earned a million dollars every single day of your [...]

Modern culture emerged in Africa 20,000 years earlier than thought

Modern culture emerged in southern Africa at least 44,000 years ago, more than 20,000 years earlier than anthropologists had previously believed, researchers reported Monday.

That blossoming of technology and art occurred at roughly the same time that modern humans were migrating from Africa to Europe, where they soon displaced Neanderthals. Many of the characteristics of the ancient culture identified by anthropologists are still present in [...]

Was a mysterious ancient plague which killed all but 5,000 ‘pre humans’ the key to man’s triumph over the Neanderthals?

Mysterious plague reduced human numbers to just 5,000-10,000
Plague related to modern infections
Man ‘bounced back’ – and then spread from Africa all over the world

The key factor which separated man from our evolutionary rivals 100,000 years ago may not have been language – but instead a mysterious plague.

The plague ravaged populations of early humans in Africa, until just 5-10,000 were left.

But from that small population, humans emerged – and triumphed over [...]

If your heritage is non-African, you are part Neanderthal, according to a new study in the July issue of Molecular Biology and Evolution. Discovery News has been reporting on human/Neanderthal interbreeding for some time now, so this latest research confirms earlier findings.

Damian Labuda of the University of Montreal’s Department of Pediatrics and the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Center conducted the study with his [...]
