    Determining a diet of meat from a variety of species does not prove hyper-hunting.

    Vultures have a diet of meat from a variety of species without hunting at all. It's called 'scavenging.'

    Even the presence of spear tips does not, itself, prove hunting. Spears can also be used for self-defense against predators, for warfare and for active scavenging with menace.

    What we have here is the dogma of humans as the ignoble savages that kill everything. It is not so much science as religious speculation.

    While humanity has much to be blamed for, those who seek to blame humanity for the destruction of the planet that has not yet been destroyed are just adding another thing for which humanity can be rightly blamed. That is, the destruction of scientific methodology and objective reason by emotional claptrap.

    Exhibit A: Koalas are dying. It's humanity at fault. Real culprit - chlamydia.
    Exhibit B: Frogs are dying. It's humanity at fault. Real culprit- chytrid.
    Exhibit C: Eucalypts are dying. It's humanity at fault.
    Real culprits: many and varied, but fungus and insects feature prominently.

    If early humans were so smart (and they most probably were), why would they risk injury by hunting all of the time when forcing other predators off their prey was likely more successful and less dangerous?

    The reality is that the further we are removed from the natural world, the less individuals understand the risk and rewards that would have driven our ancestors. In short, so many know so little that they don't even realise how little they know.

    It's called 'urbanisation' and it has profoundly changed the way people think in a very short time indeed.

    Hi AmyVenus,

    Actually I would be considered in African American church as Sister Zucchini. My relationship with God is far more important to me than other distractions in the World. Sorry, about not seeing your post when you say interesting point you were referencing to my Hera point-of-view?

    Although brief response to the discussion look forward to more dialogue over Five Female Olympian goddesses. So until next time, AmyVenus, Goodbye!

     There may have been hunting, but I doubt it was over hunting.  Assuming our ancestors acted somewhat similar to what the more groups of modern humans who live a more primative lifestyle today do, they would hold great reverence for the animals they hunted.  Careful only to kill enough to eat and supply other needs (i.e. clothing and shelter).    If they Younger Dryas ended in calamity as we suspect, our ancestors also bottlenecked at the same time and would have also diminished in population as nearly every myth in the world describes.   There would not have been over hunting enough to affect the populations, but the climate change that occured did.

    Hi All,

    During the Pandemic when we humans were forced to quarantine the coolest outcome from the dismal experience was watching a little of Nature balance itself out without human interference.

    Bird's in the air fish in the sea an animal's on the Land virtually healing an at least two weeks back cold hearted hunters put nature out of balance with the hunting and killing of Wolves which is a Sin against God; How?

    Well the argument the church preaches is that God don't make mistakes; obviously God viewed the Wolf as a beautiful Creation he made the Wolf the same day He created Man. If the Wolf wasn't supposed to be here God wouldn't of allowed The Male and his Female in to The Ark.

    Going back to what I first mentioned on the killing of Wolves an other animals a Sin against God. In the Bible God says that the only time an animal could be killed by a human being is if that said animal like a Bull was too Gore A Man to Death Un-provoked or for Food

    When I lived about three in a half year's in Northern, California Yreka to be exact I did meet active hunters but they were living lives that God said was alright too live they killed deer for food many a hunter talked about how good venison was too eat.

    A nice man I took an art class with even brought frozen venison meat too share it with the class. Since my household never cooked meat he provided instructions for how to prepare it, so that was the right way of handling deer meat.

    Big game hunters an the cruel Super Predators hunting down the wolves aren't killing the animals with honor but with disdain and the deer hunters these guys aren't killing for Food. It's disrespectful an again I stress a Sin against God.

    Happily in Isaiah the prophet paints a picture of what God's Country will be like in relationship too People an animal's, The Bears will be like an Ox, The Lion will interact with Animal's formerly it's Food, the Wolves will lie down with the Lamb's an No killing will be taking place in Heaven.

    I think the reason it bothers me so much about how these hunters are going after the Bears, the Wolves and The Big Game Animal's is another century before these Super Predator Men would of been Slave Catchers.

    My ancestors who were attempting to runaway an these hunters now in 2021, and their glee of killing the Bears and Wolves is like the glee of the Slave Catchers Flogging the Runaways (think of the movie Amistad everyone had to watch on the Slave ship a person born free kidnapped in to Slavery being mercilessly flogged, as blood is flying in the air landing on some of them watching), that's what I'm thinking about considering this Biblically Illegal Killing of God's Wolves of course I'm aware many may not agree with me, I am simply expressing how I feel about all of this.

    Did you know when Santa Cruz was deserted during pandemic that for the first time ever Female Leather Back Sea Turtles came up on the beach there an were able too lay their Eggs; now that people has returned that's not going to happen anytime soon.

    Leather Back Sea Turtles are still on the Endangered Species List.

    Remember the birds and wild flocks of goats descending from the mountains doing a little sight seeing desertion of people. Italy, France, Germany, Birds appeared that had never came around before because of the throngs of people.

    People in small boats out on the water approached by curious Dolphins seeming to talk too them.

    An even before this Pandemic hit extradinary stories of interaction of people an animal's were line in the News on an Daily basis.

    For instance, a dog lived near a college campus (it was a stray), observed people approach Kiosk on campus hand something over to the person running the Kiosk and would receive food. After, observing this human behavior the dog picked up leaves from the ground in its mouth (oh I thought Dogs were color blind), walked up to the Kiosk an gave the person leaves.

    The kiosk operator picked up on what the dog was doing and gave it food an everyday the stray dog would give leaves from the ground to the Kiosk operator (I do not know if stray was adopted).

    That dog is nothing compared to the next animal encounter, a police officer is sitting in their cruiser it's lunch time, all of a sudden a Duck flies up to the window with its beak and knocks on the window, the officer at first thinks Duck wants food but no that isn't the case.

    The duck caps it's wings wildly an seeming to want the officer follow luckily like Kiosk owner with the dog they follow the duck which leads them too a discarded net where her babies are trapped and can't get out.

    Using their knife they proceed to cut the ducklings out of the discarded net, while mama duck waits patiently an when all her babies are freed immediately gets them into the lake. How people did the duck know to go too a police cruiser for help?

    A grown squirrel on another College campus runs up too random people seemingly agitated but, appeared to be asking for help so two curious people follow an it's little Squirrel baby fell out of the nest careful not too injure it for its insides could be seen clearly, the squirrel runs up the tree to where it's best was an they help baby squirrel back into the nest.

    Last Animal story a shark swims repeatedly brushing up against a diver it's not till the shark reveals its flipper where a fish hook is embedded in its flesh. The diver under the water mind you assists the shark an gets the hook out of its body, No shark did not attack him.

    In another sad shark story a fishing net was nearly severing a Sharks dorsal fin it swam too interestingly at the time two women divers.

    It then laid silent not moving an the women sees its dorsal fin with the fishing line an net around it one of the women then pulls out there knife an cuts the fishing line and net from its dorsal fin, and when procedure was over the shark swims away slowly.

    I just recently read in a Newspaper article that Japan & China are planning to Farm Octopuses; I'm thinking seriously we're pillaging Earth like these resources are going to be here forever.

    In case no one here at Ancient Origins has not seen nor heard of The Dust Bowl in the 1930's & in to the 1950's, may I recommend watching Ken Burns Documentary Parts 1 & 2?

    Because that is an example of what can go wrong when people keep taking, taking, taking from Nature, till there's nothing else left too take.

    I recognize how I believe irritate people but it's ridiculous what is happening with Super Predator people against The Animal's that upon Creation originally we were of Care Takers in this World; which we were told by God too inherit The Earth.

    We lived in an balanced harmony with all of Nature but, when the first parents made an unwise decision broke the only Rule of God's then people split in two sects Care Takers and Destroyers.

    In some cases we can extreme Care Takers other instances become extreme destroyers but if Super Predators all over the Globe keeps this up the only other beings left to pillage and exploit are each other.

    For the record getting back to God giving us Planet Earth too inherit in Isaiah He still reminds People that Earth is His, an The Animal's are Mine.

    That's my argument for this discussion and I am sticking too it, so until next time, Everyone, Goodbye!

    Galaxy with high rate star formation have you ever wondered to yourself, where do most of the star formation occur in the Milky Way today? The Milky Way has long been known for its giant spiral arm as well as many other satellites orbiting the gas giants. The reason this place is so interesting is that it is actually a very old space filled with star systems. Many astronomers use the stars close to the horizon as navigation systems to guide them to where the best places to visit are within the system. >» https://cayiz.com/galaxy-with-high-rate-star-formation-how-stars-are-formed-in-the-milky-way-galaxy-2021/

    Hi Charles,

    Hey you... No wait Charles I don't want to presume anything Ethiopia has a Bible did you know that?

    It is even Older than King James Bible 1611, King Henry VIII Bible, An Martin Luther Bible apparently written in Greek instead of Latin what was He thinking?

    Scholars are attempting too translate The Orthodox Ethiopian Bible in to English but, ran into a snag Gaez the language in Ethiopia is a form no one can speak today so they're hoping Hebrew might be used too translate the Gaez language to a Bible where then it could be translated in to English boy I love how the Tower of Babel came together.

    The significance Charles? The Oldest Bible Book of all time Enoch and there are three of them we have now according to Enoch himself He wrote 366, Books altogether.

    I noted your interest in Ethiopia an zeus so I think you may find Enoch enlightening. If interested here's what you should do...

    Go to Google search look up Hidden Bible The Book of Enoch; there's 6 Sections to this Biblical Account are you possibly visual when reading important material? Recommendation don't stop reading an make sure too look for Fragment of section taken from The Book of Noah; keep reading.

    After you've rested from the reading The Book of Enoch 1 Book of The Watchers (that's it's subtitle), again search in Google for Enoch 2 The Book of The Secrets of Enoch; under the heading Pseudiographia in sky Blue looking rather bold.

    Then begin reading when you reach chapter 10; I think you'll read something very special when I read chapter 10, I felt like I had this incredible interaction like Job did at the end of his Testimony; there's still lot's too go so continue reading starting with chapter 11.

    3rd Biblical Book by Enoch The Book of Giant's to know what you're searching for go to Wikipedia and look up Enoch 3 The Book of Giant's, why Wikipedia I've admittedly come up with blurbs of this Biblical Text online...

    In using Wikipedia it'll help too know what exactly you're reading about and what you're searching for too read Free online with help from Google.

    If you're wondering Charles why I'm recommending that you take a moment to read about Enoch as hard it is too understand those Five Female Olympians will be better understood.

    In order for that too happen you're going to have too read The Books of Enoch online for Free through Google, plus it helps that Ethiopia has The Book of Enoch in its Bible.

    Back in the late 1700's did you read Alex Haley's Root's? If you did remember Haley's 7th Great-grandfather Kunta Kiente born in 1750?

    Around that timeline some supposed it Missionary from Scotland or Switzerland I think his name was Jerome?

    Happened to be poking around Ethiopia an somehow came across in Ethiopia, which is in Africa The Book of Enoch because the Early Church Father's back in Europe has this intriguing Book removed altogether from The Bible yet, Ethiopia kept this Book in Their Bible.

    The Missionary Jerome got excited when he realized he had The Book of Enoch and so took a copy of this Book of Enoch back to Europe. Question no. 1 what was the guy doing in Ethiopia gee I'm not sure perhaps it was the midst of the Mid-Transatlantic Slave Trade.

    Question no.2 did Missionary bring Enoch back apparently it went into some library somewhere in Europe thankfully not too the Vatican.

    Question no. 3 what is so significant about Enoch Charles I have a basic idea but, that's all I've got so if you were to read these Books of Enoch that were originally ripped from The Bible maybe you'll have an idea of what's going on.

    That's all I wanted to share with if you're interested about things in particular regarding Ethiopia an zeus, how zeus is relevant to Enoch will be understood once you read Enoch Free online through Google.

    Until next time, Charles, Goodbye!

    Being an enthusiast regarding the racial/ethnicity of the ancient Greek Gods, I decided to take a historical trip back down my memory lane, since this article stated many points that I was not fully aware of, but had some relevant knowledge from reading various "Bits & Pieces" from Greek historian Herodotus, as well as from the very gifted Miscegenation/Historian by the name of J.A. Rogers who authored many books, including my favorite one titled "NATURE KNOWS NO COLOR LINE". In regards to "ZEUS" I learned a few decades ago that he was the "Chief God", and that his chief title in ancient Greek language was "AETIOP" which meant "black/burnt face". Also, the same term "AETIOP" is why present day ETHIOPIA still uses the same name with a slightly different spelling. I also knew that ALL OF THE ANCIENT GREEK GODS WERE FAMILY RELATED, but I did not know exactly how they were related until I read this article. So it appears that ZEUS aka: AETIOP was a dynamic "Playboy God" who could never be satisfied with a monogamous relation, and he felt that he had to spread his sperm between many different women, while creating NUMEROUS GODS/GODESSES, who were all related through Paternity. I had also read the book by author Martin Bernal titled "BLACK ATHENA" which became very controversial and debatable among so-call white scholars, even though all of the dominoes seem to fall into the right place for me, because it seem as though whenever the "REAL scholars such as Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus, J.A. Rogers, Martin Bernal etc state facts about ancient Black people and civilizations, the white pseudo scientists NEVER FAIL IN CALLING THEM LIARS? I have came to the conclusion that even if Jesus Christ stated those truths, they would probably say that he was hallucinating ha ha ha? So it appears that Uranus was father of Cronus who was chief God of the TITANS and Zeus who was chief God of the OLYMPIANS went to battle, and the Olympians won...I guess that when we study ancient Gods such as the Egyptian Gods OSIRIS, ISIS, HORUS who appear in history long before The Greek God Zeus, and the Roman God "Jupiter", everything goes back to a time when Black people were the only people written about in history, because they were the most IMPORTANT people on earth at that time..

    Hi All,

    I know the title of this article is Five Female Olympian goddesses; for now however I'll touch on one of the female's, that is Hera.

    There was a time I did view her as a myth in fact circumstances has since changed for me when coming too learn the truth about mythical goddesses through some Biblical Accounts.

    These Text inspired me to re-evaluate what was considered Myth. Believe it are not I'm not dwelling on the Biblical aspect for now but I do wish too touch on something else.

    A while back there was a discussion during my Ethnic Studies Class' for we reached Women Studies and addressed Hollywood's Ethno Notions. So the conversation turned about Women in various forms of entertainment.

    In my case I thought of how I used too watched Hercules legendary journey's and my reaction too that malovent presence in the form of Hercules Step-Mother Hera.

    So I brought up watching the show in my teenage year's the T.V. an Xena Warrior Princess.

    Sitting in this Ethnic Studies Class in particular being reminded by the adventure fantasy Hercules legendary journey's, I was also in turn reminded of what a teacher a teacher I had in 6th grade...

    He wished to be identified as First American meaning His History here in America was before Columbus.

    He recalled how when he was a child watching Western movies starribg John Wayne, an some other's he remembered growing up cheering on the White Cowboys (The Western Movie my mom showed me starred Sidney Poitier an Harry Belafonte both Civil Right's Activists), killing quote the Indian's it stopped my teacher cold when he realized what he was doing an he was but a young child.

    Cheering on the Cowboys too kill him it was quite startling.

    Where am I going with this discussion about my 6th grade teacher and the TV Series Hercules battling Hera?

    My Ethnic Studies Class reminded me of my teacher's word's in grade school, an of Hercules legendary journey's depiction of Hera as evil being.

    For a while I went along with this entertaining notion about Hera. It wasn't till something started nagging at me to check out Ancient Greece an Women that I quit with the vilifying of Hera.

    There are a lot of interesting Fan Fiction stories dedicated to Hercules Journey's written by Women it's amazing how many hate Hera in their story.

    Going back to exploring Ancient Greek Women First, I found out that in Ancient Athens when men wanted too get married again an they already were tied to a family they would simply sale their whole family into Slavery; in order to make room for generally the much younger bride and make a new family with her...

    Can you guess how much fratricide was committed in those days? I can!

    This deed of getting rid of First Family through Selling them in to Slavery was so rampant this Action by Athenian Men is why a Greek Play write did the play Medea sort of as a warning to Men.

    Then there was the quote Ancient Olympic Game's if women caught watching killed on site also in some of those competitions the game's people did get killed.

    So at that time with the Hercules series I started too
    re-access how Heras' story may have motivated Ancient Women. I suppose women followed Hera for that very reason Hera was trapped in an unfair marriage with zeus.

    Hera doesn't exactly take this mistreatment an dis-respect by her Husband zeus lying down as is she fights back even when her odds of losing is so stacked against her.

    Hera was if anything feared by zeus' mistresses she either torchered the women an their children or set them up to be killed by zeus like in the case of Semele mother of Dyonius.

    I can remember of asking my fellow classmates what if the roles between Hera and zeus was reversed an Hera is the one doing the cheating on zeus; much the same way zeus cheats on her constantly an she gives birth too numerous children not zeus'?

    Wow Zeus should go after those children not his, Hera should be punished for her infidelity an a whole list of other torments that should befall Hera it was rather eye opening to say the least with the perception of my male classmates.

    An then I asked an what of zeus infidelity an the numerous children he's had on the side again quite a shock; No, Hera shouldn't go after the women an their children and No she's doubly wrong for challenging zeus because of his infidelity she's The Evil One.

    Wait a minute Hera's Evil but, not Zeus if roles were reversed? Whole class Yes!

    Going back to what I'd learn about life for Ancient Women in Greece in Athens birth place of Democracy I no longer Identified Hera as Evil and quit cheering on Hercules' in the series; instead, I took too cheering Hera.

    An until recently when I came across specific Biblical Text, I kept zeus and Hera in the Mythical category; what, I've learned from these Sacred Accounts causes me too re-think that notion about them as well.

    As promise I won't touch on those Biblical Accounts for now.

    That's all I wished too share about Hera of Olympus.

    Until next time, Everyone, Goodbye!

    You are talking about a time when a trip from England or a message from England to America took 2 months. You are confusing modern times with 400 year old time. It did NOT take money to disappear…. just simply-  intelligence.

    England was as serious about catching this pirate as any other. But when information took months rather than seconds ; well, it makes they whole thing a different ballgame.
