– “Baffling 400,000-Year-Old Clue to Human Origins”
“Scientists have found the oldest DNA evidence yet of humans’ biological history. But instead of neatly clarifying human evolution, the finding is adding new mysteries.

In a paper in the journal Nature, scientists reported Wednesday [December 4] that they had retrieved ancient human DNA from a fossil dating back about 400,000 years, shattering the previous record of 100,000 years.

The fossil, a thigh bone found in Spain, had previously seemed to many experts to belong to a forerunner of Neanderthals. But its DNA tells a very different story. It most closely resembles DNA from an enigmatic lineage of humans known as Denisovans. Until now, Denisovans were known only from DNA retrieved from 80,000-year-old remains in Siberia, 4,000 miles east of where the new DNA was found,” quoting Carl Zimmer in The New York Times.

“Man’s Genome From 45,000 Years Ago Is Reconstructed”
“Scientists have reconstructed the genome of a man who lived 45,000 years ago, by far the oldest genetic record ever obtained from modern humans. The research, published on Wednesday in the journal Nature, provided new clues to the expansion of modern humans from Africa about 60,000 years ago, when they moved into Europe and Asia.

And the genome, extracted from a fossil thighbone found in Siberia, added strong support to a provocative hypothesis: Early humans interbred with Neanderthals,” quoting Carl Zimmer, The New York Times.

Ramtha spoke of civilizations in Mexico 35,000 years ago
Lemuria was not a great continent. Its shores were today’s Pacific Northwest. Beyond its beach line there were lakes and swamps. My great elders — the great elders — knew a war was coming and they warned everyone. There was a safe passage made for us to Baja California and Mexico, which were all swamplands. We came out of the Earth as a long march of pilgrims crossing a swamp to the furthest port of Atlatia called Onai. We were running for our lives. The elders who prophesied this went down with their continent and are buried beneath the shores of the Pacific Northwest.

Our pilgrimage to Onai was through Baja California and Mexico. At the time of our pilgrimage, Mexico was not a stable landmass; it was a swampland. That was 35,000 years ago.”
