Ceremonial boulders were hit like 'gongs' to call the community to funerals Large stone mortars were found next to stone age grave sites in Israel Researchers believe these were pounded to summon people to ceremonies Noise from the 3 foot tall rocks would have been audible for miles around It suggests nearby communities were bound together with common beliefs

They were among the first Stone Age humans to abandon the nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle in favour of living in settled villages around 15,000 years ago. Now archaeologists have discovered the Natufian culture that lived in the Levant in modern-day Israel may also have pioneered the concept of church bells to summon the community together.
Researchers have discovered strangely shaped boulders they believe were used as ceremonial 'gongs' that were pounded during burial ceremonies.

Of course. They were identical to us. Identical DNA so naturally they could invent.

Damn!!! What a bunch of rubbish!! Not ONCE in the article did anybody actually HIT a fucking rock to actually see what the hell happened. My God, what kind of shit were these university eggheads smoking to come up with this looniness?? Who actually believes this bullshit?? Jeez.....

Of course not. Evolution doesn't occur in the blink of an eye. Looking at the last 15,000 years in earth's evolutionary history is like looking at only the last two frames of a more than 4 hour movie with 30 frames per second. You will not see anything change by looking at 1/15th of a second of a 4 hour movie.

DUH, I've heard of extreme long time evolutionism a few times too. It does pop up!

Do the calculations. Divide 15,000 years into 3 or 4 billion years which is the the length of the earth's evolutionary history. Then divide that number in the the number of frames in a 4 hour movie at 30 frames a second and you get two frames. That is why it is impossible for you to see evolution. You expect to see it in your life time or at least in recorded human history. Therefore, you are just taking a snapshot and a snapshot does not show movement.

You're the one that said 15,000 -- I didn't. Macro-evolution is total garbage because there are no transitional forms in the fossil record. There should be gajillions -- a birdoid with 1/8-formed wings, a birdoid with 3765/72897436- formed wings, a birdoid with 51/64-formed wings etc. -- to give just one example of the millions of species.
Does nature or doesn't nature tend to disorder? I've tried throwing 10 pennies into the air 100,000 times but they've never landed forming a straight line.

Study of Holocaust survivors finds trauma passed on to children's genes
Friday 21 August 2015 13.40 EDT
Genetic changes stemming from the trauma suffered by Holocaust survivors are capable of being passed on to their children, the clearest sign yet that one person’s life experience can affect subsequent generations.
The conclusion from a research team at New York’s Mount Sinai hospital led by Rachel Yehuda stems from the genetic study of 32 Jewish men and women who had either been interned in a Nazi concentration camp, witnessed or experienced torture or who had had to hide during the second world war.
They also analysed the genes of their children, who are known to have increased likelihood of stress disorders, and compared the results with Jewish families who were living outside of Europe during the war. “The gene changes in the children could only be attributed to Holocaust exposure in the parents,” said Yehuda.

Give me a freaking break; will they never shut up or die off?
Holocaust-gene, my ass.

Screamingly funny, isn't it? It's sure to be voertly intended that way, because they know that every latest degree of Holocaust-inanity will gobbled up as manna from on high and start carving it in stone and weeping before it.
Even if it was possible for this GARBAGE to be true, the stressy gene would be from being related to these screaming mimis and their delusions.

I have to take that with a grain of salt. Explain how a stress disorder makes survival more, rather than less, likely. Natural selection selects genes that are more likely to be passed to future generations.
Of course one could argue, perhaps successfully, that avoiding getting into such terrible situation is gene related and has a definite survival advantage. To some degree, holocaust victims are the result of their behavior; obviously gene related and their tendency to make bad decisions was passed on to their children.
Early on, it would have been easy to pack up, leave, and avoid being a holocaust victim. So naturally the genes of those making decisions that prevented them from being a holocaust victim is passed on to their children as are the genes of those failing to make good decisions and ending up as holocaust victims are passed on to their children. Certainly that is more plausible than the suggestion that their DNA changed.

The Garden of the Finzi-Continis. Indeed, Jues should customarily evacuate any country where they claim an excess of "anti-Semitism". October Revolution Island would be a magnificently appropriate destination, and ain't NOBODY going to persecute or scriminate them there!
