When did cavemen exist?

Question

If Adam and Eve were the first humans, and they were created in God's image, then is God a neanderthal? I don't recall stories of Adam hitting Eve over the head and dragging her to the Garden of Eden. Not meaning to be funny here, Just tring to gain some perspective.

Answer 1

According to GEICO Insurance, they still exist and are very offended by rude comments such as yours. I mean really, the whole club thing is very upsetting.

Answer 2

If you are trying to gain perspective, continue reading in Genesis and you will gain wisdom in the fact that God did destroy the earth once after is stated He repented for make man because he was wicked. There was a new beginning. The other fact is Adam and Eve where not the first beings on earth. They where the first beings made from light and with a soul given by the Creator. Scripture tell you in God there is no darkness. In the beginning God separated the darkness from the light.

Answer 3

What we claim today as Neanderthal are actually the bones of the people who lived long lives to 900 years old. A dentist wrote a book based on xrays he took of the N.skulls and discovered that we have been lied to. These skulls were initially photographed with jaws set to look like they were apes. [The author and the book title I don't remember]That is one of the reasons why evolution has been foisted on our society. It can help the American public reason that there may be aliens outside of our solar system via the propaganda of Carl Sagan.

Sorry, just spouting off.

Answer 4

...and if we were created "in the image" of a Neanderthal, does that mean we have evolved into something "superior" to a Neanderthalic God? There's another spin on it for ya!

The Book of Genesis tells us that everything was created by God—nothing "evolved." Every creature was given the ability to reproduce after its own kind as is stated ten times in Genesis. Dogs do not produce cats. Neither do cats and dogs have a common ancestry. Dogs began as dogs and are still dogs. They vary in species from Chihuahuas to Saint Bernards, but you will not find a "dat" or a "cog" (part cat/dog) throughout God’s creation. Frogs don’t reproduce oysters, cows don’t have lambs, and pregnant pigs don’t give birth to rabbits. God made monkeys as monkeys, and man as man.

Each creature brings forth after its own kind. That’s no theory; that’s a fact. Why then should we believe that man comes from another species? If evolution is true, then it is proof that the Bible is false. However, the whole of creation stands in contradiction to the theory of evolution.

Dr. Kent Hovind of Florida has a standing offer of $250,000 to "anyone who can give any empirical evidence (scientific proof) for evolution." Evolution— true science fiction. His website is www.drdino.com.

Answer 5

Little earlier than Adam and Eve were sent to the Earth.

Answer 6

Was the Neanderthal man really some kind of ape man?

The first Neanderthal skull was discovered in Gibraltar in 1848. Eight years later the “original” Neanderthal man was discovered in a limestone quarry in the Neander Valley near Düsseldorf in Germany (“Neanderthal” literally means “Neander’s Valley”). The Neander Valley in turn was named after Joachim Neander, a 17th century German theologian who taught Latin in nearby Düsseldorf and preached sermons in the valley which later came to bear his name.

Three years after the Neander Valley discovery, Charles Darwin published his Origin of Species in which he proposed that all life descended from a common ancestor. This includes humans who were thought to have evolved from some sort of ape-like ancestor. The Neanderthal man was subsequently reinterpreted by the scientists of the 19th century who came to see him as a sort of ape-man, an evolutionary link between man and ape. This view persisted into the 20th century.

The “Old Man of La Chapelle-aux-Saints,” originally reconstructed by the famous 19th century French paleontologist Pierre Marcellin Boule, was the first nearly complete Neanderthal man skeleton discovered in the modern era. The “Old Man” had a severely curved spine. This combined with his large browridge and his low-vaulted cranium gave him a hunched over ape-man-like appearance. It was later determined that the Old Man suffered from a deforming bone disease.

In the mid 1950’s American anatomists William Straus and A. J. Cave reexamined the Old Man of La Chapelle-aux-Saints. It was their conclusion that “if he could be reincarnated and placed in a New York subway provided he were bathed, shaved, and dressed in modern clothing it is doubtful whether he would attract any more attention that some of its other denizens” (Quarterly Review of Biology, vol. 32, pp. 348–63, December).

The anatomical peculiarities of the Neanderthal men are known to exist within the normal boundaries of human variation potential. In other words, the Neanderthals were just regular humans who looked a little different than you and I do today (similar to how Australian aborigines look significantly different than Native American Indians and yet they are all human).

The Neanderthals were known to bury their dead (whose bodies they covered in flowers), they used tools, worked with animal hides, took care of each other and generally acted like humans act. There is no indication that they were the brutish beasts they are seen as by many today. Their brain cavity was actually much larger than the average brain today.

It appears that many of the Neanderthals suffered from a Vitamin D deficiency. This caused their bones to grow soft and deformed. This has contributed the popular hunched-over ape-man misconception. The Vitamin D deficiency may simply be indicative of the era in which they lived. Vitamin D comes from fish oils and dairy products and is produced in the body when the skin is exposed to the sun. The Neanderthals obviously had a very poor diet. In addition to this, they appear to have spent much of their time taking shelter in caves. It is believed by many scholars that the Neanderthals lived during an Ice Age. This would explain their poor diets and lack of exposure to the sun. So, while the ape-man perspective has been shown to be false, Neanderthal man was certainly a caveman in the true sense of the word.

Answer 7

The most recent theory is that cro-magnon man did not supercede neanderthals, but that they were two completely seperate evolutionary chains--one that survived, one that didn't..

However there is speculation that neanderthals didn't really die out, but became absorbed into cro-magnon man--but that theory still retains the idea that they were seperate evolutionary chains.

Answer 8

The bible is always right, so that means Neanderthals were not real. It is obvious that all scientists around the world made fake fossils to fool all who do not believe in the bible. They are pawns of Satan.

Answer 9

Men lived in caves in parts of the earth for centuries. They were still fully man.

Answer 10

so sorry renee but there were cave men. they lived anywhere from 100 thousand years ago, to over one million years ago, depending on which archaeologist you listen to since they may have not died out at all, but simply integrated.

and by the way, the bible doesn't account for anything past ten thousand years ago.
