A recent news article indicates that new discoveries on Crete show hominid occupation stretching back 130,000 years ago and since Crete was separated from the mainland an estimated five million years ago, they would have had to sail there. That would be miles and miles across open water.
This undated photo shows a detail of the ‘Panel of Hands’ in El Castillo Cave, Spain, showing red disks and hand stencils made by blowing or spitting paint onto the wall. A date from a disk shows the painting to be older than 40,800 years, making it the oldest known cave art in Europe.

Some time ago, it was reported in this blog that evidence of ancient hominids was discovered on some Greek islands that were close to the mainland; evidence for Neanderthal and/or Homo Erectus occupation dating back 130,000 to 170,000 years ago.
While James Churchward wrote that the (then) newly discovered fossils of Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon, Homo Erectus, etc. were actually degenerate humans, these findings, along with other discoveries indicating humans obtained knowledge of some tools from Neanderthal, tell us that the ancient hominids were not as backward or different from us than originally thought. Combine these findings with the knowledge that the dimensional variations within some hominid facial features might indicate that our family tree may not have as many branches as we used to think, and James’ theories of the early hominids as ‘degenerates’ may not be so far-fetched, especially when evidence also indicates inter-species breeding.
Just some more food for thought.
Have a great day.
