It's fascinating. It's civilisation in its own way. Maye it could be called proto-civilisation but that might tend to let mainstream science off the hook for refusing to readjust their thinking in the light of so many findings pushing civilisation back into the Ice Age.

Why would they not?

Why would they not what Jolanta?

@zblaze Why would the not make rock art, after all people all over the world like to doodle, so why would we think it so "fantastic" or unusual that our fore fathers didn't?

@Jolanta These folks are a whole lot older than our forefathers, more along the lines of 'common ancestors'. I found all three videos very interesting, I'm sorry you didn't.

@zblaze I did, however when it comes to our forefathers how far does one go. Aren't they all our forefathers no matter how far back.

@Jolanta Forefathers are usually in reference to a particular nation. Karl Marx wouldn't be considered our forefather. This was long before a nation was even a concept.

@zblaze I do know that but how long does one go. Is it because our so called forefathers looked like apes that we don't want to acknowledge that actually they were our forefathers?

@Jolanta It's just semantics, like I said, forefathers are used in reference to nations, or being able to show direct heritage to, not to ancestors that existed 150K years ago.

As an ape myself, I have no problem with identifying an ancient forefather as an ape.

@zblaze Yes I have seen the photo
