Thousands of years before god created the universe.. humans created female genitalia art
– Newly discovered circular carvings that are mostly likely meant to represent female genitalia have been recorded as the oldest rock art ever found in Europe.
The carvings, resembling the vulva, were uncovered at a site called Abri Castanet in France. They are believed to be about 37,000-years-old.
The findings have been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The creators of the carvings were a group called the Aurignacians – the first humans in Europe, according to LiveScience. They are known to have painted, sculpted and made carvings.
The vulva shapes may reflect the Aurignacians’ preoccupation with fertility and the mystery of birth, according to study researcher Randall White.
Homo sapiens did not leave any traces of art until about 40,000 years ago, so the Aurignacians’ work is believed to be groundbreaking.
The question of our human origins is one of the most controversial science has wrestled with. This is the story of how scientists came to explain the beauty and diversity of life on earth, and reveal how its evolution is connected to the long and violent history of our planet. Featuring ocean adventurers, eccentric French aristocrats, mountain climbers, a secret Victorian publisher with 12 fingers, a ridiculed German meteorologist, and only a brief hint of Charles Darwin.
Christians trying their best to destroy America.. with superstition/myths. Our magic man did it, he has reward for those who believe in him and his magic book, written by whoknowswho, from the bronze-age.. reward comes after you are dead… ze magic book says so; And science is pretty much what you feel comfortable to believe sheesh hahaha
Fire and dildos.. + lots more.. all long before man created god(s)

Before gawd, there was man
Scientists say they have new evidence that our ancestors were using fire as early as a million years ago.
It takes the form of ash and bone fragments recovered from Wonderwerk Cave in South Africa.
The team tells the journal PNAS that the sediments suggest frequent, controlled fires were lit on the site.
The ability to use fire is regarded as a key step in human development because it gave us access to cooked foods and new technologies.
Stone tools found at Wonderwerk Cave indicate the ancestor in question may have been Homo erectus, a species whose existence has been documented as far back as 1.8 million years ago.
Establishing precisely when humans first acquired the ability to control fire has been very difficult.
There have been several claims that the skill was in existence even earlier than at Wonderwerk.
But they have all been challenged, with sceptics arguing the fire remains from open sites could have been the result of natural blazes ignited by lightning. Read more
