The history of human evolution has been rewritten after scientists discovered that Europe was the birthplace of mankind, not Africa. Currently, most experts believe that our human lineage split from apes around seven million years ago in central Africa, where hominids remained for the next five million years before venturing further afield. But two fossils of an ape-like creature which had human-like teeth have been found in Bulgaria and Greece, dating to 7.2 million years ago.

Not likely; there were no monkeys in Europe.

If not mankind,Europe was the birthplace of civilization. Africa is still working on the "civilization thing". ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
The birthplace for man was Persia
How do you know what was living in what is now called Europe 50 thousand years ago? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.

I don't recall any simians ever being discovered on European cave wall art.

This was supposedly 7.2 million years ago.

I ain't no mathematician,but it occurs to me there were several years between 7.2 million years ago and 50,000 years ago,when the monkeys could have lived in Europe and then migrated south as time passed. This was supposedly 7.2 million years ago.

Monkeys may or may not have lived in Europe. This creature from 7.2 million years ago might be the missing link, i.e., the ancestor of both humans and chimps.

Do you mean the birthplace for homo sapiens sapiens or the birthplace for civilization?
#13. To: Ada (#11)
Could be either or both. Or neither. Monkeys may or may not have lived in Europe. This creature from 7.2 million years ago might be the missing link, i.e., the ancestor of both humans and chimps.

Of course it ain't "monkeys" that are of concern as far as the study of human evolution goes. It's the great apes and their ancestors that interest anthrpologists in that regard. And yes, the fossils of both monkeys and apes are found in Europe. They disappeared from that continent in the Miocene period (about 7 million years ago) and represent species different from those living today.

Yes. I'm still picking up on things I've previously missed in Stanley Kubrick's movies over the years.

Many no longer believe humans "evolved" from ancient hominids, bone wielding or whatever. Given the relative eyeblink in time wherein they are supposed to have occurred, the discontinuities in anatomy, physiology, and genetics are just too huge to be ascribed to some smooth process of "evolution."
