Ancient Paint Factory Unearthed In South Africa, Carbon-Dated to 100,000 Old!!!

But according to the imported religion called christianity, the first humans were two white people named 'Adam and Eve', created 6,000 years ago in the middle east.

When will you people stop swallowing Roman lies?

Maybe 'Adam and Eve' were the first white people or albinos that emerged.

But no way were they the first HUMAN BEINGS on Earth, assuming they actually existed.

The first MODERN HUMANS emerged in SOUTHERN AFRICA OVER 200,000 YEARS AGO.

NOT in the Middle East 6,000 years ago.

Ancient Paint Factory Unearthed In South Africa, Dated to 100,000 old!!!

The kits used by humans 100,000 years ago to make paint have been found at the famous archaeological site of Blombos Cave in South Africa.

The hoard includes red and yellow pigments, shell containers, and the grinding cobbles and bone spatulas to work up a paste - everything an ancient artist might need in their workshop.

This extraordinary discovery is reported in the journal Science.

It is proof, say researchers, of our early ancestors' complexity of thought.

"This is significant because it is pushing back the boundaries of our understanding of when Homo sapiens - people like us - first became modern," said Prof Christopher Henshilwood from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

"These finds indicate that humans were certainly thinking in a modern way, in a way that is cognitively advanced, at least 100,000 years ago," he told BBC News.

Blombos Cave on the southern Cape Coast, 300km east of Cape Town, has been giving up remarkable archaeological treasures for more than 20 years.

Scientists have been scraping down through its sandy sediments to find all manner of artefacts left by the Middle Stone Age people who occupied the limestone cavity.

In 2002, researchers described 70,000-year-old blocks of ochre. This soft stone contains iron oxides that can be used as a pigment, or colouring agent.

But apart from some engravings on the blocks, there was little hard evidence to determine the precise purpose of the Blombos ochre. The new items seem to have had a much more obvious use - as the equipment to process paints.

The finds include abalone shells with ochre residues inside. There are tools made of quartzite that were presumably employed to hammer and grind ochre into a powder in the shells. And there is evidence that charcoal and oil from seal bones were being added to the mix. It seems bone implements were also being used to turn and lift the paint pastes.

All these artefacts were found together, almost as if someone had put them down intending to retrieve them at a later time, but then never coming back. Sands blown in through the cave entrance subsequently buried the kits and locked them away until they were excavated in 2008.

In the intervening three years, the finds have been subjected to a series of tests and assessments.

Ochre can have non-artistic applications such as an additive in glues, but co-researcher Francesco d'Errico from the University of Bordeaux says the analysis of the residues in the shells points strongly to the production of paints.

"The absence of a resin or a wax suggests the ochre was not used to make a glue or a mastic. We think it may have been used to make a paint or a design," he explained.

Prof Henshilwood added: "It's possible the paint was used to paint bodies, human skin. It could have been used to paint designs on leather or other objects. It could have been used for paintings on walls, although the surfaces of southern African caves are not ideal for the long-term preservation of rock art."

The mere fact though that paints are being manufactured in a systematic way is indicative of a level of advanced thinking.

It would have required a high degree of planning to bring together all of the elements of the kits; and if art really was the purpose, it suggests the cave dwellers of Blombos were capable of symbolic thought - the ability to let one thing represent another in the mind.

This ability has been posited as the giant leap in human evolution that set our species apart from the rest of the animal world.

Understanding when and where this behaviour first emerged is a key quest for scientists studying human origins.

...Prof Chris Stringer from London's Natural History Museum commented: "Twenty or 30 years ago, there was a view that Europe was really the place where all the big action was taking place - wonderful painted caves 30,000-35,000 years ago, and people decorating their bodies.

"We now know that this behaviour goes back far further in Africa; it goes back to 100,000 years, perhaps even more than 100,000 years.

"People were starting to express social identity in completely new ways. And there is a view that this behaviour is linked with complex language. So, it may indicate these people were communicating in a fully modern way," he told BBC News.

This morono don start again

Same scientists that told you that you came from Apes.
Babablu bulabu.

Leave Christianity alone and go and embrace the ape cousins.

If human existence or origination started from Africa, yeah it could be.

In Astronomy, the middle east used to be leading decades ago before the west took over

The picture attached should be typical Ghanaians

And the coherency with the thread?

Nothing is stopping us from continuing the science in this modern times stand up And join the race the world ieaving you behind

I honestly don't know the kind of students our schools produce these days.

Those are the people who are fixated about politics discussion. Imagine how he injected local politics into this.

They are yet to get over the election loss hangover hence foaming in the mouth

I hate people pontificating from their arm chair.

What I want to hear from you is ''I WANT TO START SOMETHING SCIENTIFIC...''

Don't preach to others.

You don't need to be a science student to do something scientific.

Shebi they said Bill Gates dropped out of school to establish Microsoft?

All you need to do is brainstorm. You will come up with something.

After all your ancestors 100,000 years ago were not answering ''science student'', when they were combining various chemicals to MANUFACTURE PAINT, something that most countries can't even do today.

It is beyond your comprehension.

The clown should have made his post without attacking Christianity.


Una go make snide remarks and expect others not to react.

Perhaps an irredeemable case

You mean I should start doing the work of a physicist and chemist or an engineer after studying masscom every mab has his field just play your own part well.

helinues:

Good you acknowledged your case is irredeemable. At least, you know what is wrong with you.

Where in the Bible was it stated that Adam and Eve were Caucasians\white?

oz4real83:

They must have been white because scientists acknowledge that the so-called white race, which is essentially a rogue albinoid offshoot of ancient black Africans, only emerged 7 to 8,000 years ago.

And that was when 'Adam' and 'Eve' were supposedly birthed in the Middle East.

Of course there were people in the world before 'Adam and Eve'.

It even says so in the old testament!

The discussion is well-articulated
