You got to love the scientific explanation for the pygmies.
Various theories have been proposed to explain the short stature of pygmies. Some studies suggest that it could be related to adaptation to low ultraviolet light levels in rainforests. This might mean that relatively little vitamin D can be made in human skin, thereby limiting calcium uptake from the diet for bone growth and maintenance, and leading to the evolution of the small skeletal size.
I guess when someone has their head up their onus, it is kinda hard to look around.
I guess it was vitamin D deficiency.
Do I need to say it?
Of course they attempt to explain it away as a birth defect since it sorta blows that one male and female doctrine out of the water.
And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant. 2 Sam 21:20

I had a pretty blond music teacher in grammar school who had 6 fingers on each hand , she showed us first day and we never thought about it again that I can remember . I do remember how pretty she was ..

Our DNA is partly similair to fruitflies and bananas too?
Not that much of our DNA is similair to chimpansees. These scientists declared most of our DNA junk but it’s not junk because they don’t understand it.
There is one protein in our DNA very similair to that of chimpansees. The aminoacids in that protein sequence much a like the chimps. But one protein is not “most of our DNA”. It is very very very little.

Im not sure what you’re trying to share? You quoted my question about neanderthals with pictures of people. Those people are not neanderthals. Those men will have the same number of chromosomes as us while all Neanderthals had different ones. Yet they were able to hybridize with sapiens. Much like horses and zebras.
We are not looking for current life as much as looking for fossilized life on Mars. We also have a pretty good understanding of many of the fauna extinctions. The problem arises because of debates on which one of the several things caused one another. Was the asian volcanoes exploding ash throughout the world the cause of it or was it how a large rock from space smashed into earth at this time and ect...
Earth can definitely not hold
A population of 70 billions just fine. We are only at 7 billion now at best and it’s causing a lot of problems.
I grew up without internet just fine. I got my first smartphone in 2014 in a 20s. I hike over 40 miles a week easily and sometimes almost double that. I go camping to remote islands for weeks at a time without any electricity. In my county I can identify over 200 edible plants and mushrooms. Not that any of that matters to what I’m talking about. But you brought it up first for some reason.

The question is valid and need further investigation.
If we read the Bible carefully we will find that time is part of the creation.
God created time, so why would God only started with His creation 10 000 years ago? Because He is outside of time and it doesn't actually matter to Him. It is like asking the strongest man in the universe why he is doing one finger pushups... because he can
Science can do accurate carbon dating for the last +-10 000 years but older than that is all guess work and they admit it.
The reason why I do belief earth is not older than 6000 years is because of the cycles explained to us in God's word. He is clear that there is order in His creation. A little study on this subject goes a long way.

I agree, sorta like scientific circular reasoning
The issue though is that in each geological layer we see different sizes and masses. It’s not just large creatures at the top or bottom, but small ones and large ones ranging from flora and fauna.
It’s also the issue that sediments are not based on weight either. We find different layers with different chemical compositions.
We also find fossils in a wide range of environments. We find fossils that were created by flooding. We find fossils created by volcanic ash. We find fossils of animals they feel through ice and froze. We find fossils underwater from where something like a storm stirring up sediments. We find fossils from animals trapped in saps and amber. We find fossils of animals that feel into tar pits. We find fossils of animals covered by mudslides.
The other issue is the morphology of fossils. When we go to the earliest fossils we only microorganisms we then only find plants. We then find insects. We also find these things throughout every layer but in the earliest layers it’s less diverse. But we do still often find giant extinct club mosses, ferns and so on.
We can trace the primate family. We can go back to where all primates we’re walking on all fours. We can then find the start of fossils with differently shaped knees and ankles and rib cages. We can then start to find bipedal ones that become humans over millions from years. We then begin to find ages where tools and burials start. We don’t find mammals on geological time era where there are just amphibians. We don’t ever find T. rex fossilized next to humans. We never find evidence of fossilized tool markings on T. rex and so on. But we find different smaller and larger mammals and plants there.
The fossil record and geological eras are not depressed by species size and mass but morphology.
I agree. There is no half and half intermediate species in that sense. There is 99.99% a and 99.99%b and 99.99%c and 99.99%d of the same species all having offspring together creating 99.98a and 00.01b and so on.
My point is that Neanderthals, Sapiens and Denisovan are all humans. They are all equally human, but different species. They all belong to the same genus Homo. All humans belong to the tribe Hominini along with the genus Pan which includes chimpanzees. We see this in the fossil record by tracing morphological changes and through genetics.

That's pretty awesome .. I worked on a commercial fishing boat one year but I wouldn't last 2 weeks .. I have an uncle who lives off the land and he can't read or write .. But he has knowledge to farm, is very humble and thankful, grows/cans his food, slaughters animals and catches his fish and where to get them, he's uneducated to the world standards but has a lifetime of self reliance .. In his county there may be a couple hundred individuals that can live self sufficient off the grid if the power went off tomorrow ..
I understand what you're saying, I'm saying there is one same race and I quoted those pictures to say I could find a bus load of people in the closest city that look as much ''Neanderthal'' as it gets .. There are no Neanderthals, they are either man or ape and an ape is a separate creation from man .. I am not an ape or evolved from apes , read Genesis 1 and believe it if you want a clue .. And science confirms it too ...
