Life! "First, Last, but When?
Greetings to you! It's been a while since I've been with you. What is life? And what does it really mean? And where does it come from? 'And, how did it get here? This is a 'question' we shall try and answer this morning. Where did planet Earth life begin? Let's look briefly at our 'descriptive' planetary results.
In many of our 'Main Scientific Laboratories' where 'Lyman Spitzer Jr.' (1914-1997) created his 'Spitzer Space Telescope' at Princeton University. We can see how astronomer's (or 'someone' else) 'might' have identified planet 'Earth' as a desirable planet for Human beginnings!
Let me explain: 'Life' seems to be 'ever-present, and ubiquitous!' in most accepted definitions. But let us realistically look at its rather 'dogged' history! Man has been looking for a suitable replacement for 'others' and recently for this planet! But he's been looking for more than a 'millennium'! Man's 'Earthly' search has taken place unknowingly, since Man first looked to the stars.
*The Discovery of Man & Australopithecus Anamensis*
1. Philopithecus 2. Proconsul 3. Dryopithecus 4. Oreopithecus 5. Ramapithecus 6. Australopithecus 7. Paranthropus 8. Advanced Australopithecus 9. *Homo Erectus* 10. Early Homo Sapiens 11. Solo Man 12. Rhodesian Man 13. Neanderthal Man 14. Cro-Magnon Man and lastly, 15. Modern Homo sapiens. And now we may add another skull for ancestral heritage in the form of #16, *Australopithecus Anamensis* (Defined as a "Recollection?") This amalgamation may be added at the beginning of the species starting period. It may change everything, or perhaps (in the long run) change even less. Some others not listed here (Homo naledi, Floresiensis, and Denisovan) were intently not recorded, but all met the same generational extinction. "Are we just a 'continuous composite' of these species?"
Discovery of the New Man? *MRD* (-VP-1/1)
Nine Hominid dental cranial, and postcranial specimens from 'Kenobi Kenya.' And 12 specimens from 'Anillo Bay, Kenya.' Are described here as a new species of 'Australopithecus' dating from about 3.9 million to 4.2 million years ago. They show primitive and perceived features of this species to be a possible ancestor of 'Australopithecus Afarensis.' And suggests that ("Ardi") *Ardipithecus Ramidus* is a sister species to this and "all" later Hominid species. A Tibia bone established that Hominids were 'bipedal' at least half a million years 'before' challenges the previous indications. But let us not yet "construe,' the original 'parental heritage relationships!' As factual as this may be, it still led to evolutionary demise.
The opposite condition from traditional 'Australopithecus' origin to the 'MRD' derivative is: A low and arched cheekbone, which is considered (by many) to be primitive. And is shared among A. africanus, Ardipithecus ramidus (Ardi) (4.3m-4.5m years ago from Ethiopia, a more Ape-like primitive Hominin) or in American translation; a more "African or Simian-like looking creature!" The collection number of the new "MRD-VP-1/1" (or Australopithecus Anamensis) is the oldest humanin found in the "Turkana Basin". (Southern Ethiopia, Kenya, Eastern Uganda, and Southeastern South Sudan).
The crest of the *MRD* cranium which is 'surprisingly' modern, (too many) now challenges the previous view. It further opens up the possibility that the longstanding idea of A. afarensis as the ancestor of all later Australopithecus groups 'might' have been wrong! And that instead, 'Anamensis' may be the ancestor of the younger species! Which early Hominin is the direct ancestor of many of today's modern Humans? "A. afarensis, or Anamensis?" This still remains the indefatigable 'unanswered question' of today! However, they were all 'African' in origin! But, a kind of separation, seems imminent!
"When Did our World Transcend?"
The world changed when "Boy met Girl" in the 'beginning!' Many 'eons' ago the sexes learned by trial and error how to successfully 'procreate!' And the world has not been the same since!
Not only did the world change when 'Boy met Girl,' but also when unusual 'Chemicals met Chemicals!'
*Reproductive Attempts*
"Let's look at a number of real attempts" (7-1)
7- Panspermia: Is the hypothesis that life exists throughout the universe. 6- Abiogenesis: Or Biogenesis is the study of how biological life arises from inorganic matter. 5- Cosmogony: Is any model concerning the coming into-existence of either the cosmos (i.e. the universe) or so-called reality of sentient beings. Developing a complete theoretical model has implications in both the philosophy of science and epistemology. 4- Endosymbiosis: Is when one of the symbiotic organisms lives inside another. It does not seem to bother the host organism. Some organisms tend to inactively render to polymorphic behaviors.3- Spontaneous Generation: Is the supposed production of living organisms from nonliving matter, as inferred from the apparent appearance or life in some supposedly sterile environment. 2-Clay Theory: Is another possible way by which life may have begun, with other models, rather than 'life to life.' 1- Organic Evolution: The events involved in the evolutionary development of a species. It means that all life developed from other life. Although features may have changed dramatically along the way. 'Organic Evolution' involves modifications to existing species, and not the development of new ones! In understanding our evolutionary choices, the 'Anthropologic Scholars' settled with this one!
*But as a Matter of Fact*
With all the congruency and 'getting together' going on in a jungle full of related mixed breeds, it didn't take much to 'amalgamate' all available species into one large, continuous hostile group. Sure, they had wars and rumors of war going on, but eventually they branched off into a population of similarly related-blooded people. That's the life of 'creation!' Similar to the fates of the Chinese, and Indian peoples.
Complexion was still ruled by sunlight intensity. Most people today are mixtures of regional populations! Sunlight (without extra-vitamin inclusion) 'used' to handle all skin coloration. But not completely. Adjusted vitamin content on food labels 'today gives a more protective coloration than in the past. The timeline for development of today's dominant species exhibit is approximately 6,000+ years. 'Mixtures?' Most people today are mixtures of regional genetic concentrations! 'Microbial' remnants are enduring!
We all live in a world more concerned with 'visual looks' than common Human content. Because of this innate sexual proclivity, we have suffered world-wide deviations from 'normalcy.' Throughout the ages, there have been those 'Men and Women' that would deny humanity be having sexual relations with: "Cows, Pigs, Horses, every type of Dog that's ever been created, Lambs, Fish, and probably many other species too numerous to mention! Evidently, there is no shame, in the 'consciences' of some people.
All the species we have mentioned, had sex with Humans 'indiscriminately!' Alien type 'DNA' has also been discovered in our systems. And that should be further explored. We have many sub life-forms lurking in the shadows of our vast experience. Inadvertently, sexuality has always ruled our lives on this planet. Extra-marital affairs and lovefests have taken their toll on many. There is little doubt, that we are all a part of a microbial-related species. For all those that are still alive, life remains: "Here and now!"
*Conclusion*
*All the prior assumptions are real*
I hope you all understand: We author's, as educated scientists have tried our 'best' to find life without 'God!' But we have not! And many won't admit it! Let us live as though we have found through reading our "Bibles, Koran's, Torah's, Bhagavad Gita's, Vedic Scriptures, and combining the myriad of all the remaining others, this is fact" The following is a reasonable assessment in view of 3,000 years of exhaustible scientific research! My 'pick' of allreligious scriptures (with a total respect for others) reads:
"Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any comfort of love, if there is any fellowship of the spirit, if there is any affection and compassion." (Then I believe:) "Jesus Christ" is Lord, to the glory of 'God' the Father!" Amen – Holy Bible, Philippians 2:1 Ending with verse 11.
We have ended this brief study rather quickly this morning. "What will you do with the information you have learned?" It is my hope, that we will get a lasting time of understanding, quiet, and peace! Stay well.
*All God's Creation has a purpose*
*There are three gates to this self-destructive hell: Lust, Anger, and Greed. Renounce these three* Krishna - Bhagavad Gita
