The discovery of two skulls in 1989 and 1990 gave birth to a new specie in the hominid family tree, called the Yunxian Man. Modern technology, using 3-D scanning and analysis has allowed a reconstruction of the skulls and a classification of this new family between Homo erectus and the following species, Homo longi and Homo sapiens. This discovery more or less doubles the time of origin of Homo sapiens.

Reconciliation between modern anthropology and the Wisdom Tradition Teachings is still far away and would require deep comparative studies in History, Archeology, Anthropology, etc…

Researches on ancient hominid remains in South Africa provided with another estimate of the age of the oldest trace of physical human on earth, making it older than the famous Australopithecus afarensis Lucy which was estimated at 3.2 million years. This brings the traces of the « source » of physical human body 1 million years before Lucy, nearly 4 million years ago.

Based on the Secret Doctrine data, corroborated by the Ancient Indian Cosmological Cycles (Surya Siddhanta), 4 million years would corresponds to a period in the middle of the 4th Root-Race.

From the bottom of the North Sea, archaeological evidences show a land occupied by Mesolithic people until the rising of sea level inundated it 8.000 years ago.

The Theosophist, Vol. I, N° 6, 1880, pp.159-161 : “If the history of religion and of mythology and – far more important – the origin, developing and final grouping of the human species are ever to be unravelled, we have to trust to archeological research, rather than to the hypothetical deductions of philology.”

55 million indigenous people died following the European conquest of the Americas beginning in 1492. A new study demonstrates that the Great Dying of the Indigenous
Peoples of the Americas led to the abandonment of enough cleared land in the Americas that the resulting terrestrial carbon uptake had a detectable impact on both atmospheric CO2 and global surface air temperatures in the two centuries prior to the Industrial Revolution.

Homo Sapiens Evolution

The view that Homo sapiens evolved from a single region/population within Africa has been given primacy in studies of human evolution. However, developments across multiple fields show that relevant data are no longer consistent with this view. A new study shows that Homo sapiens evolved within a set of interlinked groups living across Africa, whose connectivity changed through time.

A manuscript of an essay from Mme Blavatsky was published in The Theosophist, Vol. LXXXIII, N° 11, August 1962 – also available in BCW XIII, p.326, where she described the early races of Africa
