So, exactly how far back are we going?
>>20952
DINOSAUR GENERAL
Beginning of universe, as has already been discussed in great length in the religion threads
>>20952
Cavemen are history.
>>21079
>preferring marble over bc
we /co/ now
anything that occurred prior to the invention of writing is prehistory and therefore off-topic
we wuz dinosaurs n sheeit

It's on topic faggot
We are going back into some sort of capitalism approvedmedieval ages. TPP proves that
>>21276
hah
>>21276
It's funny because there is theories that all the dinosaurs were feathered. So that would make birds "descendants"

Considering the board covers anthropology, that would be all hominids. So back to the first biped apes.
We know chimps in the wild make simple tools and gorillas in captivity can handle linguistic communication (sign language), so we had those in our toolbox when we changed our spinal curvature.
>>21221

>>20952
We're allowed to go all the way back to the start of Genesis, when our father who art in heaven said "Let there be light!"

We'll start at organisms forming around hydrothermal vents and practicing chemosynthesis and go from there.
I love sucking on minerals holy shit.
>chemosyntesis niggers
lol catch up fags we photosyntesis now lol

homosapiens are now more intelligent than neanderthals ever were.
they might have been "wiped out" but humanity progressed any ways.

LITERALLY animals.

If those apes weren't there to chimp out we'd have commercialized space travel by now.

Get fucking dunked board-head.
I fucking love pre-history except there's no history known
think about all those ooga booga tribes travelling all over the world and discovering places, would have been awesome to have the very first log of adventures desu
>>21222
That's dumb. We know a lot about various peoples/civilizations that didn't have writing.
>>20952
Until the first written source, otherwise it would be prehistory
>>23918
>There is literally no difference between homo sapiens and neanderthal
Keep thinking that you dumb monkey
>>24045
Neanderthals made cave art
>>24008
no we don't
>>24045
If it's assuming and factually baseless, wouldn't it be herstory?
>>24073
Is drawing writing? No.
>>24096
Then we must be all girls here
>>24098
Guess we can't discuss Ancient Egypt guys
>>24073
Literally abo tier cave "art" desu senpai
>>24153
Still cave art though
>>24129
Hieroglyphs are a writing system
>>24129
heiroglyphs are writing you fucking prole
>>24129
hieroglyphics are writing
they are not just some simplistic series of 1 to 1 corresponding pictures meaning "bird sun water" (logo/ideogram) but they are also an actual system of reporting discrete, lower level linguistic concepts (phonogram)

What went wrong?
>>24319
Humans are smarter and have better tools. Also they probably taste good.
>>24319
HOMO SAPIENS NEED OUR HELP. THEY ARE NICE PEOPLE IT WILL BE OKAY WE WILL LIVE TOGETHER.
>>24385
Except we weren't demonstrably smarter nor had superior tools at the time.
One of the most convincing arguments is observations of the origins of neanderthal tools. Tl;dr, it implies that they were highly self-reliant in that all tools/trinkits found by their bodies originated from the immediate area, whereas the spread of artifacts from contemporary Sapiensnigs was far more 'diverse.'
