Productivity

Tue, 26 Oct 2021 12:33:43 +0000

An extensive study in the U.S.A found that the most productive age in human life is between 60-70 years of age.

The 2nd. most productive stage of the human being is from 70 to 80 years of age.

The 3rd. most productive stage is from 50 to 60 years of age.

The average age of NOBEL PRIZE winners is 62 years old.

The average age of the presidents of prominent companies in the world is 63 years.

The average age of the pastors of the 100 largest churches in the U.S.A. is 71.

The average age of the Popes is 76 years.

This tells us in a way that it has been determined, that the best years of your life are between 60 and 80 years.

A study published in NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE found that at age 60, you reach the TOP of your potential and this continues into your 80s.

Therefore, if you are between 60 -70 or 70-80 you are in the BEST and 2nd. level of your life.

Oldest Bones

Sun, 18 Aug 2019 01:48:13 +0000

From Oldest.org

Jebel Irhoud Skulls
Age: over 300,000 years old
Country of Origin: Morocco
Year Discovered: 1960
“The skulls found at the Jebel Irhoud archaeological site in Morocco are believed to be the oldest-known human remains. The first skull was discovered in 1960 by a miner, who gave it to an engineer as a souvenir. The engineer eventually turned the skull over to the University of Rabat and an official expedition to the site took place in 1961.
Since then, several more skulls and other bones have been uncovered. Researchers initially thought the skulls belonged to Neanderthals, but have since determined that they belong to an archaic form of Homo sapiens. The age of the skulls is estimated to be over 300,000 years old. This information challenges the previous idea that modern humans emerged from Eastern Africa around 200,000 years ago. Researchers now believe that modern humans were spread across the continent around 330,000 – 300,000 years ago. “

Dali Man
Age: disputed – between 209,000 – 260,000
Country of Origin: China
Year Discovered: 1978
“The discovery of a skull from China – dubbed the Dali Man – has challenged long-held beliefs about the evolution and dispersal of Homo sapiens. While most scientists believe that humans originated from African ancestors, the similarities of the Dali Man skull to the earliest human remains in Africa, suggests that not all modern humans came from Africa.
When the skull was first discovered in 1978, archaeologists believed it belonged to a different hominin species Homo erectus. For years after the discovery of the Dali Man, scientists believed that Homo erectus shared DNA with Homo sapiens. However, a newer analysis says that the Dali skull is incredibly similar to two Homo sapiens skulls found in Morocco. Further research into the skulls’ similarities may end up rewriting the origins of mankind. “

Omo Remains
Age: 195,000 years old
Country of Origin: Ethiopia
Year Discovered: 1967
“Before new research was released in 2017, the human remains found at Omo Kibish in Ethiopia were believed to be the oldest-known Homo sapiens remains ever found. The Omo Kibish skullcaps are the reason why most scientists believed that early modern humans originated from East Africa. While they are no longer the oldest remains, the skullcaps help paint a more complete picture of early human history.
When the skulls were first discovered in 1967 scientists thought that they were no older than 160,000 years. This research was updated in 2005 and moved the skulls back to 195,000 years old. Although the skulls – labeled Omo I and Omo II – are closely related, Omo II is more primitive. This suggests that there were Homo sapiens in the area that were less modern. “

Misliya Cave Jawbone
Age: 177,000 – 194,000 years old
Country of Origin: Israel
Year Discovered: 2014
” In 2018, a jawbone that had originally been dated to 150,000 years ago was re-analyzed and estimated to be between 177,000 – 194,000 years old. When the new report was published scientists were calling the jawbone the oldest-known Homo sapiens remains outside Africa. The new research suggests that modern humans left Africa much earlier than previously thoughts. Earlier discoveries in Israel led scientists to believe that humans started migrating from Africa between 90,000 – 120,000 years ago.
The excavated upper jawbone consists of seven intact teeth and one broken incisor. Scientists believe that the teeth bear Homo sapiens traits and do not resemble the teeth of any other human relatives from the time period.”

Herto Man
Age: about 160,000 years old
Country of Origin: Ethiopia
Year Discovered: 1997
“The Herto Man, which was discovered in 1997, is considered a human subspecies called Homo sapiens idaltu. After six years of research, scientists released a report in 2003 saying that Herto Man skulls were the oldest-known human remains yet found. The skull is estimated to be about 160,000 years old and confirmed the old theory that modern humans evolved in Africa.
Scientists were able to piece together tree skulls from the remains – two belong to adult males and the other one to a six or seven year old child. Most of Homo sapiens idaltu’s features are similar to ours, except they had remarkably large heads. According to scientists, their large skulls suggest that they were “very, very large robust people.”

Skuhl-Qafzeh Remains
Age: 80,000 – 120,000 years old
Country of Origin: Israel
Year Discovered: 1929 – 1935
“The remains found at the Qafzeh and Es Skhul caves in Israel between 1929 – 1935, were initially thought to belong to a hominin species that was a “missing link” between Neanderthals and modern humans. Archaeologists initially believed that the Skuhl-Qafzeh people had evolved from the Neanderthals, whose remains were found in nearby caves. However, new researcher shows that the Skuhl-Qafzeh were a group of ancient modern humans and the nearby Neanderthals had come after them.
Newer theories about the Skuhl-Qafzeh people suggest that they were one of the rare early failures of Homo sapiens. About 75,000 years ago when the Homo sapiens of Skhul and Qafzeh disappear from the fossil record, the climate in the area got colder. Neanderthals were better suited for the cold than early humans, which explains why the Neanderthal remains found in nearby caves are much younger than the Skuhl-Qafzeh remains. “

Tam Pa Ling Remains
Age: 46,000 – 63,000 years old
Country of Origin: Laos
Year Discovered: 2009 and 2010
“The skull fragments found in 2009 at the Tam Pa Ling cave in Laos are the oldest modern human remains found in Southeast Asia. The skull was identified as belonging to a modern human with distinct Sub-Saharan African features. Two jawbone fragments were also found at the site and have both archaic human and modern human traits.
The discovery of the specimens was significant because it filled in a 60,000 year gap in the human fossil record. It shows that modern humans were in Southeast Asia since at least 60,000 years ago and brings scientists one step closing to figuring out when humans spread from Africa into Asia. “

Mungo Man
Age: 40,000 – 60,000 years old
Country of Origin: Australia
Year Discovered: 1974
“The Lake Mungo remains from Australia, which are known as Mungo Man and Mungo Woman, are the oldest human remains ever found in Australia. The Mungo Woman’s remains were found first in 1967 – she had been cremated her remains were found buried in a small pit. Her remains are dated to 42,000 years ago, making it the world’s oldest cremation.
The Mungo Man was found a few years later, only a few meters away from where the Mungo Woman had been found. The remains are a mostly complete skeleton of a man who was carefully buried and and adorned with red ochre. Since the Mungo Man was discovered in 1974, he has been at the Australian National University in Canberra. However, in 2014 leading up to the 40th anniversary of his discovery, the aboriginal people of Willandra Lakes formally requested return and repatriation of the remains. The body was finally returned in November 2017 and his remains were buried directly in the earth in a casket of ancient red gum. “

This is a link to oldest artifacts

Tools 3.3million years Lomekwi

“The stone tools unearthed at Lomekwi 3, an archaeological site in Kenya, are the oldest artifacts in the world. These stone tools are about 3.3 million years old, long before Homo sapiens (humans) showed up. While researchers aren’t sure which of our early human ancestors made the tools, the discovery suggests that our ancestors had the mental ability to craft tools before any member of the Homo genus was even born.
Some of the artifacts uncovered at Lomekwi include anvils, cores, and flakes. The tools are the largest known stone tools and researchers suggest that they be classified as their own tool making tradition called Lomekwian.”

Oldowan Stone Tools Age: 2.6 million years
Type of Artifact: Handmade stone tools
Country of Origin: Gona, Ethiopia

Oldowan Tools
“Until a 2015 research paper was published, the Oldowan stone tools found in Gona, Ethiopia were believed to be the oldest stone tools ever found. The oldest of the Oldowan tools was dated to about 2.6 million years ago.
Researchers aren’t sure who created the tools from Gona as no fossils were found near the artifacts. The tools might have been made by Australopithecus garhi, a hominid species that was discovered about 55 miles south of Gona, near animal bones that show signs of butchering – suggesting the use of tools.
The first Oldowan tools were discovered by famed paleoanthropolgist/archaeologist, Louis Leakey, in the 1930s; these tools are about 1.8 million years old.”

Acheulean Stone Tools Age: 1.76 million years

Type of Artifact: Handmade stone tools, in particular, hand axes
Country of Origin: Spread across Africa, Asia, and Europe; oldest found in Kenya

Acheulean Stone Tools
Age: 1.76 million years
Type of Artifact: Handmade stone tools, in particular, hand axes
Country of Origin: Spread across Africa, Asia, and Europe; oldest found in Kenya
“Acheulean hand axes were used throughout most of early human history. The tools are believed to have first been developed by Homo erectus about 1.76 million years ago and used until the Middle Stone Age (300,000 – 200,000 years ago).
The hand axes are named after the St. Acheul archaeological site in France where the first of these tools were uncovered in the late 1860s. The oldest Acheulean hand axes was found at archaeological site Kokiselei 4 in the Kenya and are dated to about 1.76 million years ago. The oldest hand axes found outside of Africa are about 900,000 years old and were found at two cave sites in Spain.

Type of Artifact: Paint making kits made of shells and assorted bones
Country of Origin: Blombos Cave, Western Cape, South Africa

Blombos Cave Paint Making Studio
Age: 100,000 years
Type of Artifact: Paint making kits made of shells and assorted bones
Country of Origin: Blombos Cave, Western Cape, South Africa
“The Blombos Cave archaeological site has been under excavation since 1992 and over the years, they have discovered many artifacts. One of their most recent finds from 2008, was a paint making studio consisting of two toolkits dating back to 100,000 years ago. Researchers discovered traces of a red, paint-like mixture stored in two abalone shells.
They also found ocher (colored clay), bone, charcoal, hammer stones, and grindstones that they believe were used by early Homo sapiens to create the paints. Although the researchers don’t know what the paints were used for, they do know that they used quartzite stones to grind the ocher down and combined it with the oil from the marrow of heated bones.”

Skhul Cave Beads

Age: 100,000 years
Type of Artifact: Shell beads most likely used for jewelry
Country of Origin: Es Skhul Cave, Haifa, Israel

Skhul Cave Beads
Age: 100,000 years
Type of Artifact: Shell beads most likely used for jewelry
Country of Origin: Es Skhul Cave, Haifa, Israel
“The shell beads from Skhul Cave in Israel are thought to be the oldest pieces of jewelry created by humans. The two beads from Skhul are date back to at least 100,000 years ago and a third bead from Oued Djebbana in Algeria is between 35,000 – 90,000 years old.
According to archaeologists studying the shells, the snails that produced the shells are from the sea, which is 3.5 kilometers away from Skhul. This means that the beads hold cultural significance because the people who made them had to travel a long distance to collect them. The discovery of the beads suggests that modern human behavior (personal ornamentation, art, music, etc.) developed much earlier in human history than originally thought.”

Bone Flutes

Age: 42,000 – 43,000 years
Type of Artifact: Musical instruments made from bone
Country of Origin: Geissenkloesterle Cave, Blaubeuren, Germany

Bone Flutes
Age: 42,000 – 43,000 years
Type of Artifact: Musical instruments made from bone
Country of Origin: Geissenkloesterle Cave, Blaubeuren, Germany
“According to scientists, the bone flutes found at Geissenkloesterle Cave in Germany are the oldest musical instruments ever found in the world. Researchers used carbon dating to determine that the flutes were between 42,000 – 43,000 years old.
The flutes were made from bird bone and mammoth ivory and are from the Aurignacian archaeological culture, which is associated with the earliest modern humans in Europe. The instruments may have been used for recreation or religious rituals. These flutes are older than the previous record holder, found at the famous Hohle Fels cave in Germany, that was dated to 35,000 years ago.”

Löwenmensch Figurine (Lion-man of the Hohlenstein-Stade)

Age: 35,000 – 40,000 years old
Type of Artifact: Ivory sculpture
Country of Origin: Hohlenstein-Stadel Cave, Swabian Jura, Germany

7. Löwenmensch Figurine (Lion-man of the Hohlenstein-Stade)
Age: 35,000 – 40,000 years old
Type of Artifact: Ivory sculpture
Country of Origin: Hohlenstein-Stadel Cave, Swabian Jura, Germany
“The Löwenmensch figurine is the oldest known piece of figurative art in the world. It is an ivory sculpture of a lion headed human that is between 35,000 – 40,000 years old. The sculpture was first discovered in 1939 by geologist Otto Völzing at the Hohlenstein-Stadel cave, but the start of World War II lead to cave’s research being shelved.
The fragments of the sculpture were forgotten for over 30 years in the Museum of Ulm, until archaeologist Joachim Hahn began piecing them together. More pieces of the figure were uncovered in 1962 and they were added Hahn’s reconstruction in 1982. In 2009, further excavations were conducted and more minute fragments were discovered. Today, the figurine is almost completely restored and is displayed at the Ulm Museum.”

Venus of Hohle Fels

Age: 35,000 – 40,000 years
Type of Artifact: Ivory sculpture
Country of Origin: Hohle Fels Cave, Schelklingen, Germany

Venus of Hohle Fels
Age: 35,000 – 40,000 years
Type of Artifact: Ivory sculpture
Country of Origin: Hohle Fels Cave, Schelklingen, Germany
The Venus of Hohle Fels figurine is the oldest sculpture depicting the human figure. It is the oldest “Venus figurine” – any Upper Paleolithic sculpture of a woman – and dates back to about 35,000 – 40,000 years ago. It was discovered in 2008 in the Hohle Fels cave by an archaeological team led by Nicholas J. Conard. The team discovered several other ancient artifacts, including the world’s oldest instrument (further down on this list).
Since the figure’s discovery, there have been numerous debates over nature of the figure, with Conard suggesting that it is about “sex, [and] reproduction.” He added that the exaggerated female features of the figurine are “an extremely powerful depiction of the essence of being female.”
