When stars exploded within range of Earth 2.6 million years ago, it may have set certain things in motion that would cause human ancestors to go from swinging through the trees to walking upright, according to a new study

When stars exploded within range of Earth 2.6 million years ago, it may have set certain things in motion that would cause human ancestors, called hominins, to go from swinging through the trees to walking upright, according to a new study.

The researchers believe that the avalanche of cosmic energy in our atmosphere may have led to an increase in lightning strikes that sparked wildfires, turning the tree-filled forests into open grasslands. The strongest signal of supernovae, or exploding stars, is traced to a peak that happened 2.6 million years ago from about 163 light-years away, although Earth was getting hit with cosmic energy from supernovae as early as 8 million years ago.

Like seriously! This is just Laughable!!

I do not like the implication here. Are you say I’m like related to some monkey? How dare you. I demand a retraction and formal written apology.

Where’s the transitional fossils?

Swinging through the trees, did you say? Like a monkey? Careful there ...

🤣😂joke of the day

MunaNawabit1 Is this a parody account?

Did you ever “explode” an egg in the microwave? The only thing you get is a mess of dry egg. Only demonic deceit can inspire a miraculously designed person to believe such GARBAGE! Adam was the first Spirit man, he had a soul & lived in a body. Prehistoric man was like an animal

'May have'? So dumb!

Why doesn’t anyone believe in God?

This thread is killing me. 🤣

🤣

Space Effect or Fantasy?

We now in the age of telling the truth..try to catch up cnn

That study needs to be studied as it learns to swing from ignorance to knowledge

Maybe. When I drink beer it makes me want to recline.

But the Bible ... 😁😂😀

Did the study consider God? No. Oh. He made the stars that exploded and if the study is right we now have GPS and I Phones and more!

That......and apparently the fireworks show started all kinds of murmurs, chanting, god images, delusions of grandeur, power grabbing priests, animal & human sacrifice, separation of tribes, supremacy goals, and body art. And here we are.

The Lord God Almighty made me in His image. He also made chimps, apes & monkeys. Same architect. Different species. agape

You mean we did not have dinosaurs as pets? 😢

Last week my car tire exploded, so i ended up walking. Makes sense.😊

Digital era the principe is secular and sovereign he’s not constrained he can’t constraint therefore man is a tree that walks the sapiens the one who float the man with spirit of law the decision have been made YKUTCZFOOKOO

Did the explosion scare them into walking?

Everything was fine , til the Dems came to be . 😆
