Cro-magnum man, Wherefore art thou?

Question

ok evolution blah blah, says a creature can live for millions of years and not change if there is no change to it's environment

This is the evolutionist argument for why the creationist's favourite fish the cealocanth looks exactly the same.

The question is, what happend to all the ancient men

astolopithicus forgive the spelling, erectus, habilius., and cro magnum

what major change happened to their environment

they lived in caves and jungles, we still have caves and jungles,

we still have plenty of caves and jungles no one has ever walked into

so how did they die out, seeing as their environments have been virtually untouched?

they survived the ice age and then decided to what exactly?

their enviroments have reamianed the same, they should still be around

and if disease killed them all off, then how did we get here, disease certainly didn't bother the cealocanth too much

natural disasters....something always survives...ask the cealocanth

suggestions please

Dudes these caelocanths ARE SMALLER as a simple matter of fact, there was more oxygen in yesteryear accounting for giant sloth bears and giant wombats...more oxygen, animals get bigger

The changes you describe are quitre pathetic to the reasons why those so called ancient men are extinct

their habitats are the same, who pushed them out of living in jungles and caves?

we still have jungles and caves

I understand evolution, i just dont agree with it as i am not simple minded.

I got 2 degrees, and evo still makes no sense when studied

The caelocanth was supposed to be extinct because of changes in its environment

The niches and habitats of cro magnum and all the other men are stillll there

go to the congo, 30% of which is still unexplored
go there
go to the caves which have been untouched for so called millenia and show me even his bones or anything to fdo wit thim

you can't as he never existed

i am just asking for some proof

you base your theories on the absence of proof

Not so hard to grasp, it's plausible but not plausibly effective,

Puppy, the vikings and saxons are still here, we stil lshare their genetics, they're just called british people, with no helmets or armour

Answer 1

I think that the other branches of humanity, being the bigoted savages that they were, refused to share with those older humans (Cro-magnon is an obsolete word for those very early homo-sapiens anyway).. Instead when they saw a Cro-magnon guy they killed it for trespassing. If they saw a Cro-magnon woman they captured her as a slave and for breeding more slaves with.

Answer 2

The living Coelacanth AREN'T "exactly the same", aren't even the same genus as an fossil ones! I mean, how hard is that to look up?? We are more similar to the extinct members of our genus than the living coelacanths are to their nearest fossil relatives. So your illogical, extremely selective, blind-to-everything- contradictory, incredibly weak "analogy" doesn't even hold in the first place!!

Anwyay, the fact that you fail to understand evolution at all isn't an argument against it. It just reveals your denial issues.

Firstly, environments and climates HAVE changed massively over the fast few million years that hominids have been around. Again, trivially easy for you to look up.

And secondly, extinctions aren't caused only by changing environments anyway!! Competition, ecosystem changes, disease, chance, etc etc. I mean, you don't even have to look anything up there, just try thinking HONESTLY!!!!

Answer 3

Okay, Cro-Magnon man is just a name for early european man. Asking where they are is like asking where the vikings of the saxons are now... Any other species before that either failed to survive in their environment or lost in competition with other species. Is that so hard to grasp?

As for coelacanth, there's no connection here at all. Coelacanth didn't have the competition early man had.

Answer 4

> the cealocanth looks exactly the same
No it doesn't. Today's coelocanth's are bigger than the ones we find in the fossil record.

> what happend to all the ancient men
Dead, dead, dead.

> what major change happened to their environment
They were outcompeted by successor species of hominids, which occupied the same environmental niches. Finally, our species, Homo sapiens sapiens, pushed the other hominids onto marginal lands where they could not thrive.

> we still have caves and jungles,
Yup, and at one time or another, Homo sapiens sapiens lived in those caves, evicting other hominids. Or, Homo sapiens sapiens hunted and gathered the lands near those locations.

(I have been trying to explain this to people for years....lol)
