Bubba the Science Fan's Friday Blog: Our Neolithic Ancestors



Welcome wonderful readers. Thanks for being here.

Typically I use my friday science blog to discuss something in the cosmic realm. The latest proof for the Big Bang or the latest new planetary discovery. But, today I’m going in another direction.

I love many realms of science and I also love history. At one time as a lad I wanted to grow up to be an archeologist. Then I got nervous about mummies’ curses. Give me a break, I was nine.

I have a theory about the Neolithic Era and new evidence has come to light that confirms my theory a little.

I believe that our Neolithic ancestors were a lot busier than we give them credit for. They didn’t write so we don’t have a written history for them. Much of what they did is lost to us. I believe they were traveling much more than many think. I do not think they had any advanced technology that we do not have. I do think they were quite clever and able to accomplish great things that some want to credit to magic or superpowers. Naw, just clever hard working people working together in groups.

Recently Graham Hancock has written about a new find of a large megalithic structure in the jungles of Indonesia. I know Hancock has many critics but some of his theories make sense. For example his theory about the rising ocean levels. He and I think that many of our Great Flood stories come from the ocean rising at the end of the last ice age. I think we will find more and more ancient cities buries off the coasts around the world. I think we will find more and more evidence that our ancient ancestors were traveling, trading and meeting each other much more than we currently think.

This new discovery along with Gobekli Tepe is the beginning of what I think will be many new discoveries that will eventually open the door to a better understanding ot Neolithic humans.
