Species of human that lived two million years ago

[pepsi78]

Saw this some place else and wanted to post it.

Fossils from Northern Kenya show that a new species of human lived two million years ago, researchers say.

The discoveries suggests that at least three distinct species of humans co-existed in Africa.

The research adds to a growing body of evidence that runs counter to the popular perception that there was a linear evolution from early primates to modern humans.

The article seems legit and it's not a ripoff from some non credible site.
If this is true then it brings back the legends of Atlantis and Lemuria, if people walked two million years ago on this planet then who knows what was even before them, this planet is very old.

Why Africa, also the first modern Homosapian that dates the oldest is also from Africa, maybe Africa has a way of preserving the remains better, maybe the dryness does this.

Anyway, the two million old people had very large heads.

interesting. i remember reading back a year or so ago about a river bed in modern-day texas or new mexico where sandal tracks intermingle with dinosaur tracks, havent been able to find it again however. anyways, i believe people are much older than the common consensus. lets just think about it...
in 200,000 years (basically a blink of an eye evolutionarily) we: lost hair, stood up straight, opposable thumbs, frontal lobe, vocal cords, etc... :rollseyes:

I don't think Lloyd Pye would agree with the article in the OP.

Hair loss: a climatic response which could, theoretically, take place over a few generations (also hair gain).

Stood up straight (bipedalism): happened at least 4 million years ago.

Opposable thumb: 33-19 million years ago, in the Old World monkeys. A further evolutionary trigger seems to have happened just under 2 million years ago, but this is a bit blurry, due to the scant fossil record.

Frontal lobe: About 7 million years ago, according to current ideas.

I'm bettin' there were a lot more than three distinct humanoids roaming around then and likely they have more than enough to prove that already if they would just bother to excavate some of the buried artifacts hidden away in museum basements and secret rooms based on the stuff Micahel Cremo and Richard Thompson already documented in their book Forbidden Archeology!

Yes another race that got assimilated or assimilated on intent with the homo sapian one.

Forbidden Archeology!

That is a very good description.

The story of Lemuria has a different form of humanoids from a continent of the Pacific that existed, the fleeing lemurians story has it that these Lemurians made it to Asia in a larger proportion and in other parts of the world in smaller amounts
fleeing, after their continent in the Pacific sunk.

This go's well with the big headed people, I reckon that if the size of the skull is big overall then the body has to have other proportions ass well in size and how tall it is.

I doubt Sumeria was the first civilisation.
