  1. this species went extinct due to ad hominid attacks.

  2. Evolution is contrary to the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics the law of biogenesis and the law of casuality… whereas creation is consistent with such laws. These laws have always proved valid wherever they could be tested.

    Evolution has no known biological processes or mechanisms to form higher levels of organization and complexity. Gene mutations are overwhelmingly degenerative and none are up hill that is unequivocally beneficial in the sense of adding new genetic information to the gene pool.

    The probability of getting an average size protein of left handed amino acids found only in living cells by random, natural processes is ZERO, and the probability of getting a living cell, synonymous to the most sophisticated supercomputer yet microscopic in size, is likewise ZERO.

    Geologic landforms and sedimentary features throughout the world are completely consistent with a worldwide flood, as described in the book of Genesis. For many esteemed geologists who have researched geologic landforms and catastrophic processes, evidence of a global flood is INDISPUTABLE.

    Enormous limestone formations, huge coal and oil formations, and immense underground salt layers are indicative of a worldwide flood, not slow and gradual processes over billions of years. Such features are satisfactorily explained by a global flood and known geophysical and geochemical processes.

    A worldwide flood is described in Genesis 6-8 is within the boundaries of known geophysics (see pangea flood video @ http://www.creationsciencetoday.com).

    There is no credible technique for establishing the age of sedimentary rock—fossil dating used to establish the age of sedimentary rock suffers from circular reasoning and guess work, all based on the assumption of evolution.

    The standard geologic and fossil column as depicted in most science textbooks with transitional creatures evolving toward more complex forms is utterly FICTITIOUS and misleading, and does not represent the real world. In reality, it perfectly represents the aftermath of a worldwide flood.

    There are no transitional fossils or living forms. There is NOT ONE single example of evolution! Evolutionist look for the missing link ironically, they are in desperate search for just one! But there should be billions of examples of transitional forms with transitional structures if evolution were true. But there are NONE.

    Contrary to popular belief, evidence indicates that early man was intelligent and highly skilled with an advanced social structure. There is also evidence suggesting there belief in the existence of an afterlife.

    Soft tissue with traces of red blood cells has been found in dinosaur fossils supposedly 70 to 250 million years old. Soft tissue and red blood cells have relatively short life spans.

    Carbon 14 has been found in coal and diamonds and in deep geological strata, all supposedly hundreds of millions of years old. Researchers have been unable to find carbon (stable forms: carbon 12 and 13): without carbon 14 (unstable form). (C14 has a relatively short lifespan).

    Radio isotope dating suffers from broken, unprovable assumptions. The technique is fatally flawed– yet scientists contend as fact what they cannot prove.

    Abundant daughter isotopes are indicative of accelerated nuclear decay associated with creation (expansion stretching out or acceleration of the universe from an extremely hot dense phase. when matter and energy were concentrated) and a worldwide flood with massive restructuring of the Earth's lithosphere— not slow and gradual processes over billions of years.

    Powerful evidences of accelerated nuclear decay in igneous rocks found worldwide are, helium in zercon crystals, radio halos and vision tracks, and rapid magnetic field reversals and decay.

    Gravitational time dilation offers a credible explanation for a young Earth—that is, it explains how light from the extremities of the universe have the potential of reaching the earth in a relatively short period of time (from earth's perspective).

    Over a 100 geochronometers (techniques to date the Earth and universe) indicate a young Earth and universe, for example, helium in zercon crystals, rapid magnetic field reversals and decay, carbon 14 found in coal and diamonds, and lack of continental erosion, ocean sediments, and salt in the sea.

    Each of these evidences is enough to convince most rational people that evolution is a false doctrine and the Earth is in fact young!

  3. Absolutely amazing! We’ve learned so much about our hominin family thanks to the incredible work of Lee Berger and his team.

  4. Ridiculous, humans did not evolve from apes! Humans were made in the image of God not an ape/animal.

  5. I wonder if they had some religion which required these funerary rites

  6. same age or even older in Greece (petralona cave etc..), nothing to cheer about…. but unfortunately because it contradicts jew mythology, the museum and cave was closed by the idiots of the ministry!

  7. That hole is just fat phobic and operating on the white patriarchal idea of a healthy body…

  8. Very cool finding! But I am skeptical of the statement that, "I was the first human in history to recognize another species' symbols." What about people who studied, or for that matter first came into contact with Neanderthals? What about the skinny people who got in the cave first? (I got this impression from the video). It also seems a stretch to say that this erases human exceptionalism because there is no evidence of H. naledi visiting the moon or inventing Chat GPT-4. No need to blow anything out of proportion, these finding are interesting without doing that.

  9. Did we cross breed with them like with Neanderthals?

  10. Little people hobbits

  11. God Bless You all ❤

  12. Abc lies as much as cnn msnbc and fox woke companies will go broke 118 million pissed off Americans will see to that child molesters racists cowards

  13. They had "Souls". They Loved. They Laughed. Bless Their Hearts and Minds……

  14. Just another animal on God's earth

  15. Lost weight, Tore his rotator cuff and dislocated his shoulder just to get to the site. Claustrophobia doesn't quite cut it

  16. Please don’t let this white man lie to y’all dumb ass people. Enough is enough with the lies

  17. That's it. You show a few scratches?

  18. Fascinating. Just fascinating. Also I got a feeling of claustrophobia just watching. My god !

  19. Good thing he found this, before his investors took away the money 😂

  20. This site just keeps getting more and more incredible!

  21. Evolution, The Greatest Deception in Modern History, although filled with many gaps and failures, continues to be taught by teachers as "proven fact" — and then later in life, students perpetuate this doctrine without question as teachers, journalists, and parents. What many people today never hear is the fact that evolutionary theory is not based on known scientific laws or evidence but rather on false assumptions and poor science. For example, the following conclusion on Homo Naledi is seldom read or heard because mainstream media chooses not to be educated otherwise:

    "The striking similarity between the DNH 134 and Mojokerto crania, specimens as far apart as South Africa and Indonesia, supports the notion that Homo erectus individuals from different regions of the world ultimately trace their origins back to an original and diverse Homo erectus population, likely from Babel. Studies indicating that Homo naledi did not have a flat foot, and that its level of thumb dexterity was like those of modern humans, further support the view that these individuals were fully human. That Homo naledi was human is also supported by the discovery of a Homo erectus cranium (DNH 134) about 7–8 km away (at Drimolen) from the Homo naledi site, the Rising Star cave system, as there is likely a connection between them. The discovery of European apes, like Danuvius guggenmosi, that appear to be capable of an upright posture and some form of bipedalism, linked to their tree-dwelling lifestyle, nullifies the argument that the australopithecines were hominins (i.e. ape-men) simply because some of them may have been capable of some form of bipedalism. After a long delay, publication of the femur associated with Sahelanthropus tchadensis has caused more controversy, as well as raising more doubt that it was bipedal, and hence, from an evolutionary viewpoint, doubt that it was a hominin. The recently described Harbin cranium and Nesher Ramla Homo may reflect interbreeding between the different human population subgroups."

    They are either fully human, or full apes. We didn't arise from monkeys folks for, it's impossible…come on!

  22. Thanks very much for your research

  23. What pronouns did they use!?!?! 😂
