Earliest Man: The ages and distinctiveness of Cromagnon or Neanderthal are debatable. They could easily exist among us modern Homo sapiens. In 2010, research showed that Neanderthal genes existed in modern humans. Neanderthals were shorter, stockier and with larger cranial capacity and more aggressiveness. They most likely came to an “end” in the same area where Askenazim or Khazars originated. Could they be the same? Mythology oftentimes has truth as its origin. It has been suggested that Cro-magnon man may be the inspiration of elves, not the popular modern small ones, but more manlike elves. Neanderthal man may be the inspiration of trolls. In Viking history when they invaded Khazarian territory they were alert through Norse mythology that they were invading troll territory.
perhaps just earlier ‘races’, rather than species of man
Race is considered a fiction by current Jewish anthropology and similar sciences, but there are still huge differences in sociological and genetic make-ups. For instance the percentages of slow or fast twitch muscle fiber. Blacks lead in sprints, whites in distance running. The brain is also a muscle. Like the breeding of cows or dogs, there can be large differences between humans. Sociological differences include traditions and culture.
As mankind traveled the globe, geographical influences and narrowing group genetics began a variety of races. After races developed, then they migrated and joined others to develop even more races. Linguistics is a fine science to discover these many racial family trees.
The Creation of Adam is a section of Michelangelo's fresco Sistine Chapel ceiling painted circa 1512.
Adam – Was he the first man or first of a genealogical line? The genealogical lists of ‘begats’ in Genesis most probably includes just well-known ancestors, not every generation and is a construct to show the different people groupings in the world. Even if mankind is young, its population could easily build to our current levels. “Adam” to the Jew is the first of their Mankind, Gentiles were those who lived elsewhere, such as where Cain went to dwell.
Lilith is a character in Jewish mythology, found earliest in the Babylonian Talmud. The Jews regarded Lilith as evil. Lilith becomes Adam's first wife, who was created at the same time and from the same earth as Adam. This contrasts with Eve, who was created from one of Adam's ribs. Lilith left Adam after she refused to become subservient to him and then would not return to the Garden of Eden after she mated with archangel Samael. The resulting Lilith legend is still commonly used as source material in modern Western culture, literature, occultism, fantasy, and horror. She has become an icon of feminism.
Human intelligence: The laws of genetics show that genes negatively mutate and disintegrate. There are 99% negative mutations for 1% positive. We are most probably less intelligent than our ancestors. Our societal intelligence today is great because of built-up science and technology based on earlier discoveries. Most of what man creates is tweaking a known factor or idea. Is the individual man any brighter? Every savant shows the capacity for all mankind.
The Stone Age is a broad prehistoric period during which stone was widely used to make implements with a sharp edge, a point, or a percussion surface. The period lasted roughly 3.4 million years, and ended between 6000 BCE and 2000 BCE with the advent of metalworking.
(1)The Paleolithic Age is a prehistoric period of human history distinguished by the development of the most primitive stone tools discovered and covers roughly 95% of human technological prehistory. It extends from the earliest known use of stone tools, to the end of the Pleistocene around 10,000 BP. During the Paleolithic period, humans grouped together in small societies such as bands, and subsisted by gathering plants and fishing, hunting or scavenging wild animals. The Paleolithic is characterized by the use of knapped stone tools, although at the time humans also used wood and bone tools. Other organic commodities were adapted for use as tools, including leather and vegetable fibers; however, due to their nature, these have not been preserved to any great degree. Humans began to produce the earliest works of art and engage in religious and spiritual behavior such as burial and ritual. The climate during the Paleolithic consisted of a set of glacial and interglacial periods in which the climate periodically fluctuated between warm and cool temperatures.
(2)The Mesolithic ("middle stone") was originally post-Pleistocene, pre-agricultural material in northwest Europe about 10,000 to 5,000 BC, but material from the Levant (about 20,000 to 9,500 BC) is also labeled mesolithic.

(3)The Neolithic or New Stone Age, was a period in the development of human technology, beginning about 10,200 BC, according to the ASPRO chronology, in some parts of the Middle East, and later in other parts of the world and ending between 4,500 and 2,000 BC. Traditionally considered the last part of the Stone Age, the Neolithic followed the terminal Holocene Epipaleolithic period and commenced with the beginning of farming, which produced the "Neolithic Revolution". It ended when metal tools became widespread (in the Copper Age or Bronze Age; or, in some geographical regions, in the Iron Age). The Neolithic is a progression of behavioral and cultural characteristics and changes, including the use of wild and domestic crops and of domesticated animals.:

Göbekli Tepe is a Neolithic (stone-age) hilltop sanctuary erected at the top of a mountain ridge in southeastern Anatolia and is the oldest known human-made religious structure. The site was most likely erected by hunter-gatherers in the 10th millennium BCE (c. 12,000 years ago) and has been under excavation since 1994 by German and Turkish archaeologists.
Immanuel Velikovsky, Jew (6/10 1895–11/17 1979) was a Russian-born American scholar, best known as the author of a number of controversial books reinterpreting the events of ancient history, in particular the bestseller “Worlds in Collision”, published in 1950. Earlier, he played a role in the founding of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel, and was a respected psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. His books use comparative mythology and ancient literary sources (including the Bible) to argue that Earth has suffered catastrophic close-contacts with other planets (principally Venus and Mars) in ancient times. Velikovsky argued that electromagnetic effects play an important role in celestial mechanics. He also proposed a revised chronology for ancient Egypt, Greece, Israel and other cultures of the ancient Near East. The revised chronology aimed at explaining the so-called "dark age" of the eastern Mediterranean (ca. 1100 – 750 BCE) and reconciling biblical history with mainstream archaeology and Egyptian chronology.
Catastrophism is the idea that Earth has been affected in the past by sudden, short-lived, violent events, possibly worldwide in scope. The dominant paradigm of modern geology, in contrast, is uniformitarianism (gradualism), in which slow incremental changes, such as erosion, create the Earth's appearance. This view holds that the present is the key to the past, and that all things continue as they were from the beginning of the world. Recently a more inclusive and integrated view of geologic events has developed, changing the scientific consensus to accept some catastrophic events in the geologic past. Asteroids and global pole shifts have happened to shape the earth’s history. There have been medieval oceanic maps which have Antarctica mapped out under the ice. These are presumed to be copies from ancient maps.
