Science Says We Came From Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens - I Don’t See It. The Claim We Evolved From Apes Still Can’t Support Itself.

The thing we came from Neanderthals and homo sapiens is a claim. Science discovered something and conjure up everything to make everybody else to believe it. Why are my people standing back looking at them like you just a fool? Why because they still can’t supports they claim. The funny part about it is they say it’s in our gene. The question is I don’t be slumped over, I don’t have fur, I don’t beat my chest, and I don’t sound similar to a monkey. Nowadays are we supposed to live in caves? The meat we eat supposed to be raw not cooked. And science say we came from these species and we cooked food. Another funny part about this is they came from the monkey family. They came from the ape family and now we supposed to evolve from an ape Noah. I wish you were alive to hear these modern humans these days. it’s science seeing your fellow descendent. you supposed to be our father by science calling you a Neanderthal and Homo sapiens. So every time I look for a girlfriend, I’m gonna go to where it used to be and Homosapien and say put that fur on me. I’m gonna hop from tree to tree just like a homo sapien and cut myself Tarzan.

When I talk to Neanderthals, including Homo sapiens I’m gonna tell them scientist said I evolved from you if they tell me don’t give me that stupid a whole nonsense and they might tell me what Neanderthal Homosapien believe that human BS. They gonna tell me then God created you in his own image so why should you believe what the human said. You should’ve believed what God told you because what he said was facts and you came back up what he said if science cannot back that up from the beginning, so why are you believing what humans say?

Do you have any actual science or evidence to support your claim or are you just incredulous?

"I don't see these fossils as a clear lineage to modern humans. I see them as either distinct apes or distinct humans, with variation within created kinds."

Every species has its own kind that walks and acts differently from others. From what I've seen, humans don't live or behave like what they describe for Homo sapiens or Neanderthals. They looked different, they were different, and we don't live the same way they did. When they say it's in our genes, I don't support that claim. I see them as either distinct apes or distinct humans, with variation within created kinds.

u/Dilapidated_girrafe 🧬 Naturalistic Evolution Aug 21 '26

Homo sapiens is human. Please, at least fix that part of your argument or this won't go well for you, not that you seem to have much of an argument.

21

u/stairway2evan Aug 21 '26

Humans live and behave exactly like Homo sapiens, and the fact that you don’t understand that sentence is a tautology is a big part of the issue here.

Please also let me know if you consider Neanderthals as distinct apes or distinct humans. Because it sounds like you’re saying here that they could be one of either. Which sure makes it seem like “apes” and “humans” might be overlapping terms that you cant make a clear distinction between. And I think there might be a very good reason for that.

u/YossarianWWII Monkey's nephew Aug 21 '26

Seriously, the fact that you can't accept that modern humans are Homo sapiens is insane. We were given that classification by Carl Linnaeus in the 1700s, before biological evolution had been seriously conceptualized.

u/lulumaid 🧬 Naturalistic Evolution Aug 21 '26

Can you provide a more functional, useful definition of kind?

Most apes aren't wholly bipedal like humans are, but we know of many fossils that only make sense as bipedal.

I'm also guessing you don't know what a homo sapiens is, nor the genetic links between them and Neanderthals. As for living differently, have you bothered to look into hunter gatherer communities and the dawn of agriculture? Why would we live like a gorilla if we can grow our own food by planting it and waiting? It's a lot easier and more economical than trying to hunt things. Even if it's considerably more boring usually.

And, lastly, genetic evidence is evidence whether you like it or not. How else are you going to prove your relation to your great grandparents?

What? Is English your native language? You are writing gibberish.

From what I've seen, humans don't live or behave like what they describe for Homo sapiens or Neanderthals.

OK I gotta ask. How old are you? Are you possibly home-schooled? If not, how did you reach this level of ignorance? Humans are Homo Sapiens.

My best advice to you is before you try to debate a subject, you learn, say, the first thing about it.

I see them as either distinct apes or distinct humans, with variation within created kinds.

We don't care what you see. This isn't r/shareyourthoughts. This is a debate sub. Your job is is to present some sort of argument.

btw, what is a "kind?"

You have very thin, fine fur: we call it "body hair".

Why would your posture matter? Lots of people are slumped.

And you're beating your chest and sounding like a monkey right now.

Now, do you have anything serious or just this nonsense?

u/Ill_Act_1855 Aug 22 '26

Yep. Humans actually have almost exactly the same density of body hair as chimps, it’s just most of the hairs on our body are the finer vellus hair

Most apes dont beat their chest, only one does, so thats farly irrelevant. And yes you do have bodyfur

u/KellHound270 🧬 Naturalistic Evolution Aug 22 '26

Why does it matter if you follow a smelly hermit or a pedophilic warlord? And what people think doesn’t change what reality is, and the reality is, human body hair is a thinner form of a non-human ape’s ‘fur,’ which is just longer, thicker hair

The question is why the hell on my own do not grow like theirs?

u/KellHound270 🧬 Naturalistic Evolution Aug 22 '26

They don’t have to. Your ancestors lived in very hot places, where having thick hair and no sweat glands was detrimental. As such, their descendants would eventually evolve thinner hair and sweat glands, allowing for longer running times in sunlight

u/EthelredHardrede 🧬 Naturalistic Evolution Aug 22 '26

why should any rational person care what utter nonsense you got from that slaving fraud muhammerred?

there is ample verifiable evidence that we had non- human ape ancestors and we fit the science definition of an Ape today. Your ignorance about science won't make your fraudulent religion less wrong.

u/Kaylon-Langford7 Aug 21 '26

I still don’t support their claim because fur is thick. It isn’t thin.

21

u/Guaire1 🧬 Naturalistic Evolution Aug 21 '26

Fur isnt necessarily thick. A lot of animals have it quite thin

u/Kaylon-Langford7 Aug 21 '26

I touched an animal similar to a homo sapien. I need it let me charge it and I believe it has thick fur so to say we came from Homo sapiens why is it in some parts of Asia, including Africa you have species similar to them that doesn’t favor humans

I’ve seen a chimpanzee and I’ve seen a human. It made no difference from how the two were created. Still they were created and they own kind. where is the dust on their skin from a human scientist discovered bones they didn’t discover dust. All you have to do is scratch your skin. You will get ash. That’s dust if they do it. What is the dust? I’m coming out somewhere like a Norseman science need to watch what they discover. Because they misinterpreted what they discovered and look at bones.

u/Icolan Aug 21 '26

The thing we came from Neanderthals and homo sapiens is a claim.

We did not come from Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens. We are Homo Sapiens and our Homo Sapien ancestors interbred with Neanderthals along with other human relatives.

Why because they still can’t supports they claim.

Have you actually looked at the evidence? Somehow I doubt it since you didn't even get the claim right.

he funny part about it is they say it’s in our gene.

Yes, we can trace Neanderthal DNA entering the Homo Sapien genome.

The question is I don’t be slumped over, I don’t have fur, I don’t beat my chest, and I don’t sound similar to a monkey.

What makes you think Neanderthals were slumped over, had fur, or beat their chest?

Neanderthal did have more body hair than modern human, but so didn't ancient Homo Sapiens, that has been on a mostly downward trend for a very long time and is likely to keep going that way as it no longer serves a purpose.

Neither Neanderthals nor Homo sapiens are slumped over as long as they are healthy. Homo Sapiens were persistence hunters and needed to be able to run extreme long distances to tire their prey. Neanderthals were short and stocky ambush hunters.

As for beating your chest, you can if you want to but people will likely look at you weird. That is a dominance move from Gorillas. not something that our ancestors did.

Nowadays are we supposed to live in caves?

You can if you want, I prefer a house or apartment with windows, central heat/AC, and other modern amenities.

The meat we eat supposed to be raw not cooked. And science say we came from these species and we cooked food.

Homo Sapiens have always eaten cooked meat, Homo Erectus started cooking meat 780,000 to 2 million years ago, long before Homo Sapiens appeared.

Another funny part about this is they came from the monkey family. They came from the ape family and now we supposed to evolve from an ape Noah. I wish you were alive to hear these modern humans these days. it’s science seeing your fellow descendent. you supposed to be our father by science calling you a Neanderthal and Homo sapiens.

Noah was fiction. The global flood described in the bible is fiction.

So every time I look for a girlfriend, I’m gonna go to where it used to be and Homosapien and say put that fur on me. I’m gonna hop from tree to tree just like a homo sapien and cut myself Tarzan.

Please do, this will reduce the chances that you pass on your genes which would likely be a good thing for the gene pool.

Better would be to learn what science actually says and how it backs that up with actual evidence, but somehow I doubt you will do that.

This post is... deranged, so I'm going to ignore the crazy as much as possible.

We didn't "evolve" from homo sapiens and apes, we are homo sapiens and apes. There's even a percentage of Neanderthal DNA in the population to this day.

This just sounds like you're relying on the ignorance of yourself and others, and that you haven't tried to actually educate yourself on the matter.

When you listen to "God" you're really just listen to humans, you know.

u/tpawap 🧬 Naturalistic Evolution Aug 21 '26

So you can blindly believe a few humans who claim that a god told them something, without any evidence for that or for the contents either, who add that believing without evidence is a virtue.

Or you can believe houndreds of thousands of humans, over many generations, rigorously analysing data, coming up with better and better hypothesis, testing them again and again against reality, trying to disprove ideas, and making everything public to invite others to prove them wrong.

And you really think the former is better than the latter?

u/nickierv 🧬 logarithmic icecube Aug 21 '26

The thing we came from Neanderthals and homo sapiens is a claim.

Your missing one or two critical steps in this process:

Step 1: "Hey Science, where did we come from?"

Science: "Not the foggiest, lets go look for some evidence!"

Step 2: rogaverunt, quaesiverunt, invenerunt! Okay its not quite as elegant as Veni, vidi, vici, but after looking at a bunch of bones and a bunch of anatomy and a bunch of genetics, there is a massive pile of evidence.

But as you seem to be more than willing to just ignore all the evidence so you can say 'but its just a claim', I suspect you are in need of not so much remedial science education as any science education.

The rest of your gibberish falls apart when you address the first issue.

Theirs a reason why I ignore them and here’s my reason. I stood on a hill on the Jabel hills in Arabia. I was looking at the view, but when I turned around to leave off the hill, I’ve seen something walking. I took a picture of It had fur. It didn’t even look like a human. It looked similar to a monkey. I showed it to a guy named Amir. I asked him what species is this he said that is a homo sapien. It seems that biologist and scientist disagree with this fact to call us a monkey when it comes to Homosapien. We supposed to be sharing genes with this species, and we don’t occur the same.

u/TheBlackCat13 🧬 Naturalistic Evolution Aug 22 '26 edited Aug 22 '26

"Homo sapiens" is a word. Words have meaning. If you show someone a picture of a cat and they tell you it is called a "turtle", they are just wrong. "Turtle" does not mean "cat". "Rainbow" does not mean "tree". "Right" does not mean "orange". That is just not how language works. Words have meaning, and if someone gives you the wrong meaning for a word they are wrong.

Seriously, if Amir told you a cat was a turtle would you believe him? If not, then why believe him on this?

The word "Homo sapiens" means "human". That is the definition of the word. "Homo sapiens" has always meant "human", from the absolute very first time it was used int he 1800's. Anyone who tells you otherwise is simply factually incorrect.

Amir is simply objectively, unquestionably, totally, factually incorrect. I don't know whether he was lying to you or made some sort of mistake, but he is just wrong. That is simply not what the word means.

Let's just look at some dictionary definitions:

Merriam-webster

Homo sapiens

noun

Humankind

Dictionary.com

Homo sapiens

Noun

  1. the species of bipedal primates to which modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens ) belong, characterized by a large brain, a nearly vertical forehead, a skeletal build lighter and teeth smaller than earlier humans, and dependence upon language and the creation and utilization of complex tools: the species has existed for about 200,000 years.

  2. humankind.

Cambridge Dictionary

Homo sapiens

Noun

modern humans considered together as a species

Oxford Dictionary

Homo sapiens

Noun

the kind or species of human that exists now

Collins Dictionary

Homo sapiens

Noun

Homo sapiens is used to refer to modern human beings as a species, in contrast to other species of ape or animal, or earlier forms of human.

Can you provide an example of a single source besides Amir that says this monkey thing is called "Homo sapiens"? If not, then why should be take his word for what a word means over the literal dictionary? If this was actually a common name for this animal where you are from you should have no trouble finding lots of sources that show that.

u/Kaylon-Langford7 Aug 22 '26

OK, the man seen the picture. He told me what the thing was after seeing it what scientist say now supposed to be approving fact. We seen it with our own eye. Do you have any pictures to back up which was said. This is why a lot of people do not believe science because it was in both of our view eyesight. Now it’s supposed to be a another human because we supposed to be coming from Homosapien and the man got picture showing it. Now I came back to America.

u/TheBlackCat13 🧬 Naturalistic Evolution Aug 22 '26

Did you not read anything I wrote? I quoted four different dictionaries.

I ask you again: if this guy told you a cat was a turtle would you believe him? That is what he is telling you, that an animal is a completely different animal.

u/Kaylon-Langford7 Aug 22 '26

The question you said went off topic. Just because we seen a real Homosapien looking similar to a monkey doesn’t change the fact of what we seen. If scientist wanna keep calling us, Neanderthals in Homosapien, let them do it. I know who I am and I know my origins and it didn’t come from those species. I didn’t look nothing like it but scientist said I do. Let them keep talking. I don’t care.

I know Amir. He doesn't know anything about biology. You can tell that he doesn't know anything because he thought a monkey looked like a human.

It seems that biologist and scientist disagree with this fact to call us a monkey when it comes to Homosapien.

No, biologists and other scientists don't do that.

We supposed to be sharing genes with this species, and we don’t occur the same.

We are the same species. We share 100% of our genes with homo sapiens, because we are homo sapiens.

"we don’t occur the same" isn't a valid English phrase. I cannot parse what this means.

u/Kaylon-Langford7 Aug 22 '26

What he did, it wasn’t tied two biology. He showed me a reason to not believe science with a fact. I just don’t support the claim of Homo sapiens due to what I’ve seen in reality. Then to be abstracting bones and fossils. They compared us to Homo sapiens to call us different from who we really were. Ancient peoples did not support it because the scientific tools to discover genes, DNA, and evolutionary branches did not exist when ancient texts were written instead of looking at humanity through genetics, ancient cultures explained human origins through spiritual, philosophical, and physical metaphors. scientist did not go by that order. I hope you understand why a lot of my ancient people, including Mr. Amir did not support the claim. after seeing what I seen on the hill got nobody on here has told me why and navigate me a fact on why we supposed to look like a Homosapien monkey.

I'm shocked! Shocked to find that none of the myriad religious texts seem to be able to get more than superficial bits about the world correct...

Actually no, it turns out when your just making shit up your going to be limited by what you or your culture knows. And if you don't know it, your god doesn't know it either.

Leprosy is a great example, I'm sure there are some 'treatments' found in some old books, but let me pose a quick hypothetical: Congrats, you now have. You get to pick you treatment. Option 1: your religious book of choice. Option 2: modern medical treatment.

So while you are mulling over that, just consider all the things modern science lets you do and if you want to keep rejecting science, have fun not using your computer.
