My way of thinking is that we do not know what evidence of our ancestors on the planet exists under the oceans and also under the ice of the Arctic and Antarctic. Or even deep under the earth.

So without the opportunity to know exactly what life previously existed which is now under the oceans/earth and/or ice we can not discount that the big picture re our ancestors and hairy persons may be entirely different to the various theories that currently exist. These unkown pieces of the puzzle , if known , could show that our ancestors/hairy persons may have actually originated from the Arctic or Antarctic land masses or maybe even as far back as Patagonia as another example.

Just my 2 cents worth anyway.

Interestingly enough the age of modern humans (there about's) went from a "known" 200,000 years ago in July back an entire 150,000 years more to 350,000 years (see article below). Who knows were it all started and with every turn of the spade we just get more ancient and our history more exposed
to past catastrophic events.

But here we all are anyway...pretty amazing.

"Archaeologists unearth the oldest Homo sapiens ever discovered"

The 300,000-year-old fossils discovered in Morocco had modern faces and more primitive brains

by Rachel Becker@RA_Becks Jun 7, 2017, 6:49pm EDT

"Archaeologists have unearthed 300,000-year-old fossilized bones of early humans — the oldest remains of Homo sapiens yet discovered, two new studies report. The ancient bones contain a mix of modern and primitive features that hint at an early, and previously unknown, phase of our species’s evolution.
On the family tree of human relatives, collectively known as hominins, our ancestors split from the Neanderthal branch more than 500,000 years ago. Fossils that looked like modern humans started showing up in East Africa about 200,000 years ago. But when exactly modern humans evolved from our most recent ancestor, probably Homo heidelbergensis, is a mystery. Now, two new studies published today in the journal Nature fill in some of those missing millennia, and suggest that hominins were well on their way to looking like modern-day humans about 300,000 years ago".

An interesting article on the impact topic...

Geologically, Lake Victoria is relatively young – about 400,000 years old .

The predominant controls on the formation of the Lake Victoria Basin are suggesting that the basin was formed by meteorite impact (Saul and Glaholm, 1981)

"If an asteroid crashes into the Earth, it is likely to splash down somewhere in the oceans that cover 70 percent of the planet's surface. Huge tsunami waves, spreading out from the impact site like the ripples from a rock tossed into a pond, would inundate heavily populated coastal areas. A computer simulation of an asteroid impact tsunami developed by scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, shows waves as high as 400 feet sweeping onto the Atlantic Coast of the United States".

"For the simulation, the researchers chose an impact site consistent with the orientation of the Earth at the time of the predicted encounter: in the Atlantic Ocean about 360 miles from the U.S. coast. Ward summarized the results as follows:

The 60,000-megaton blast of the impact vaporizes the asteroid and blows a cavity in the ocean 11 miles across and all the way down to the seafloor, which is about 3 miles deep at that point. The blast even excavates some of the seafloor. Water then rushes back in to fill the cavity, and a ring of waves spreads out in all directions. The impact creates tsunami waves of all frequencies and wavelengths, with a peak wavelength about the same as the diameter of the cavity. Because lower-frequency waves travel faster than waves with higher frequencies, the initial impulse spreads out into a series of waves.

"In the movies they show one big wave, but you actually end up with dozens of waves. The first ones to arrive are pretty small, and they gradually increase in height, arriving at intervals of 3 or 4 minutes," Ward said".

I remember looking into the rainforest people of Cairns years ago. Some believe them to be of the same ancestry as the Tasmanians, protected from the taller tribes on the mainland by Bass strait and wiped out by the Europeans.
Up north the rainforest protected the curly-haired tribes from the taller tribes... until white fellas came along anyway.
I would love to see a DNA analysis compared to the bushmen of Africa for they look pretty much the same with tight, curly hair etc.

Absolutely mate, would be an interesting read for sure. In fact a not so archaic genetic connection to original Australians would be a great help as
I'm still working on my hobby theory of Impact triggered crustal displacement. Inspired by Hapgood, which would place Africa much closer to Antarctica as a land bridge to Australia prior to rapid separation via impact propagation wave through the earths core causing rapid spreading the planets tectonic plates.

Cue laugh track hear

Cheers mate

I'm sure I mentioned it before but check out the 'Expanding Earth Theory'... it answers a LOT of questions

True matey, including gravity and mass issues ,that it has been said, would prevent dinosaurs from surviving their own mass on today's Earth.

Cheers

I never really considered impact tsunamis before but yes they could alter the landscape in a big way by the waves/water moving massive ammounts of earth/rock over large distances and destroy and cover up evidence of life etc.

Those land wave formations you highlighted a few posts back could possibly be formed by past water action. I have lived on the coast all my life and when down the beach I quite often see similar formations in the sand at low tide which are caused by wave action. A massive impact tsunami originating from The Great Australian Bight could also be a possibility of reaching inland Australia.

So this got me thinking about a link I posted a while ago in another section of this forum. Pyramids discovered underground in Crimea near the Black Sea. Perhaps long ago an asteroid impacted there and formed the Black Sea or The Black Sea was already there and asteroid impacted into Black Sea. Either way the impact could result in shifting a lot of earth and rock to cover the pyramids.
