i suspect that we actually evolved in Antarctica a few million years ago when it was clear of ice, which would explain why they are really making it hard for people to explore the place(in the name of preserving it from pollution i shit you not), in short africa and Antarctica split the african humans and slowly over time we where forced to evolve due to the changing climate
blue eyes, white skin, a strong ability to plan for the future, clothing, and eventually boats would have been needed to avoid death in the scenario im talking about, if we assuming the standard model is correct then there is very little selective pressure driving those changes, and when there was selective pressure it would have been more likely to kill them because it was not caused by a gradual change in their environment but rather a change in the groups habits, go too far north an it freezes when you are used to a temperate winter, well is going to be far more deadly than each winter it getting a tiny bit colder over the cause of many thousands of years until it got too hash to live in that environment and they build boats to flee
my old theory was it was us being pushed in to colder climates that forced us to evolve but lately this has been an idea i have been throwing around and it does seem to fit my understanding of evolution better, for the old thoery to make sense we would have needed other peoples pushes us north which would have put too much pressure on the tribe and far too quickly, in the Antarctic drift theory we have a stable land, a stable food supply, and a relatively stable climate for possibly millions of years for those changes to slowly take place
I'll add to your theory because I think it's a damn good one.
Access to Antartica is almost impossible without being able to take military planes and even if you do you are only allowed on the edges. No international flights go over which can be argued. For some reason all the masons get to visit the interior like Buzz Aldren and bonesman Kerry.
I suspect there are probably ruins that they don't want the public to know about because we would have to revise the limited worldview...
i also suspect that is why they pushed stuff like nazis under ice and hollow earth theory, it colours people perceptions as soon as you mention anything relevant being in what the accepted narrative tells us is a waste land you seem crazy
there is so many lesser known cray theories about it too, most bullshit of course but that sure seems like someone is trying to poison the well
Shouldn't Eskimos be super fucking smart then? I've heard it's the lack of seasons they adapted to cold not to the ability to really forecast changing seasons<<< not changing drastically like Europe but yes the seasons so change and affect things up north but I have no clue how much
after looking at a map, it sure seems like there is a coloration between cooler climates and higher iq
also the eskimos are not really the same thing, in the situation above you would have had a large population slowly adapting over potentially millions of years until they evolved enough to build ships capable of leaving due to a worsening climate, the eskimos took a different evolutionary path by filling the niche of super cold weather hunters
Not that I agree with fucktory, but I suspect europeans, east asians, middle-easterners underwent a very rapid acceleration in evolution with the advent of agriculture, settled life and urbanization over the last 8000 years. Agriculture resulted in massive population booms and increased competition from others— an IQ arms race. Inuits were still living in sparcely populated areas as hunter gatherers. Less competion. Less evolution.
Probably closer ton12k to 20k years but very good point.
Ridiculous. Antarctica was not habitable anytime in the last 50 million years. Genus homo has only developed in the last 3 million years or so,
If youre talking about going off the tourist route, yea obviously thats not going to happen. If you asked anyone with authority or the ability to get you there they would tell you no you cant go by yourself, because youll fucking die, not because of a conspiracy to hide the truth about ancient civilazation. It would cost tens of millions to charter and crew an expedition to get you down there and on the shore safely, if you had those kinds of resources, it would be pretty easy to partner with a university and pay for an expedition to wherever you want in Antarctica. Trips like that are done regularly. But if you had million of dollars, youd have more sense and a better target than to spend those millions walking to a frozen mountain that looks kinda like a pyramid from space, to dig around aimlessly for a month, before the weather turns deadly.
Youre not going to be able to get down there and on shore by yourself, with or without permission. Imagine the logistics of it, and how absurd it would be for you to even attempt. No one would stop you if you just started sailing south from Sri Lanka in a sail boat. What would stop you is death by hypothermia, likely before you even got on shore. Go look at pics of the shorline of Antarctica ffs bro, you wouldnt need the coast guard to stop you, reality would take care of that. You aint going, no one would stop you if you tried, but you certainly wouldnt be making it back with ancient relics even if you some how pulled of getting to shore with your shovel and got out before you get hit by -75 degree hurricane.
why cant i sail to the coast in the summer season (which can be done) and explore inland? do you really think i dont know what the coast line looks like? im pretty sure you are basing your idea of the coast on a few pictures of glacial walls, not all of the coast is like that, there is even exposed rock in summer
https://www.theweather.com/williams-field.htm as someone from the north of England, i could go out in a tshirt in that weather lol, with the right equipment it would be quite easy to camp in those temperatures, i could get pretty far pretty comfortably on cross country skis, a few weeks ago it was colder than that where i currently am, hell it may have even been colder than that in Texas
its not hard, its simply complicated, they are not the same thing, it would be very easy if you have the right equipment the problem is it requires permission which you are not going to get
I left the door open in my post for it to be possible at certain times. My point is no one is going to stop you if you started sailing down there today. if you did make it, youre not gonna find jack shit but ice rocks, and maybe some wildlife.
