New Scientist says that Arabia was wetter in the past – reminds me of the Genesis Flood

Michael Marshall in  new scientist says “It was somewhere they settled for long stretches of time. Indeed, many researchers now think Arabia should be thought of as part of a “greater Africa”, and that the peninsula played an important role in human evolution and expansion across the world.”

He also says “ that Arabia was not a mere stopover for ancestral humans leaving Africa, but a lush homeland where they flourished and evolved.” He also says that Arabia had a lot more rain that today – this speaks of the Genesis Flood.

This is keeping up with the history the Bible says in Genesis 10, where the people after Noah’s  Flood habited the Earth.

Temporal evidence shows Australopithecus sediba is unlikely to be the ancestor of Homo

Even for evolutionists, austrapithecus sediba is a mystery. The earliest humans, found in Ethiopia, are from 2.8 to 2.75 Ma ago at Ledi-Geraru. However, the “Fossil specimens from A. sediba are currently only known from Malapa, South Africa, which is dated to 1.977 million years (Ma) ago.”

That leaves at least 0.8 million years in between, that they say cannot accounted for by evolutionary ways.

They also say: “Together, these results suggest it is highly unlikely that A. sediba is ancestral to Homo, and the most viable candidate ancestral species remains Australopithecus afarensis.”

Which is a mystery, as Lucy’s not all bones belong to it, but it also includes a baboon’s hip bone and it certainly fell to Earth from a tree.

So what does the study propose? Even evolutionists will speak well of a human ancestor, that is not too far off the track.
