Nope, genetic Adam and genetic Eve lived tens of thousands of years apart, so not a single couple (long-distance relationships work even worse when the distance is measured in time).ancalimon said:It's a certainty that human kind evolved from a single homosapien couple meaning we are not different kinds.
Bromden said:It's nice and all, but what (or who) is a Turk then?

Bromden said:So Turks cannot be the origin of everybody, because there were other people who they wanted to unificate with. But let's say they were the core of a civilization. Was that civilization centralized or nomadic? If centralized, where was the centre, with their flying cars and 4D cinemas and whatnot? If nomadic, how could they become so ****ing wise and knowall, without fixed cultural bases to develop knowledge and technology?
Bromden said:So the greatest achievement of this centralized nomadic superculture was a hill with trees, where the boss sat at?
Bromden said:Nope. You're giving too much significance to Vatican. Before the Romans and the Christians it was just a hill with a small village.
Partially yes, if by "two different species" you mean homo sapiens sapiens and the neanderthals (which would be incorrect, since they're not two separate species, I think). Otherwise - no. Our common mother (Eve) lived at one time (around 200 000 years ago), while our common father (Adam) lived at a later time (around 140 000 years ago). Meaning that our human species has faced several bottlenecks, which had reduced the human population to such a minimum, that eventually only the offspring of those two people (one descended from the other, in the span of 60 000 years) managed to survive. Of course, it's likely there would've been at least several other males besides Adam in his time, but for some reason their lineage eventually ended (either immediately or with time).ancalimon said:So humans consists of two different species that evolved at different times?
....by biologists’ most common definitions, we, our Homo sapien ancestors, Neanderthals, and Denisovans are all part of the same species.
A common standard for considering whether individual organisms are part of the same species is whether they can breed with each other to produce breeding offspring. Since this is the crux of the new discoveries, clearly Homo sapiens, Neanderthals, and Denisovans meet this criterion.
NikeBG said:Oh, and would you tell me what "khan" means in Turkic/Altaic? Preferably not the modern/late medieval meaning, but the oldest one.
Besides, it's not me but the Romans themselves who thought that the Turks, Huns and Ogurs are the same.
Bromden said:Or maybe your Turk boner is speaking instead of you again.
