Disjointed Bones

Summary

Disjointed Bones questions how fragments shape history—challenging flawed conclusions, expert arrogance, and the fragile evidence of human origins.

Disjointed Bones: With ten disjointed bone fragments, an entire people is created. We know from modern people that there exists a wide range of body types. What would someone in the future conclude if they found a few modern human bones? Will they be as outlandish as the so-called scholars of today are?

With a trickle of evidence doctorates, acclaim, and awards are given. Textbooks are written. Lectures are given. Documentaries are made. They all proclaim how easily a little knowledge can puff up the ego. This can corrupt those who are well-meaning and those who are not so well-meaning.

With a small bone fragment, experts can deduce how a people looked, how they behaved, and how long they lived. They can also infer the clothes and ornaments they wore, and more. These conclusions are made by those calling themselves experts in the fields of anthropology, psychology, and prehistoric archaeology.

These so-called experts create toolkits to showcase their assumptions. They are arrogant in their all-knowing attitude. They are intolerant of any form of disagreement by others. They pride themselves in their understanding of things they can’t know. They dismiss evidence that contradicts their Utopian wisdom.

There is no disputing that you must start with the raw elements as you build the foundation. and it is also true that when material do not fit the foundational structure those objects must be discarded. Pride, stubbornness, and prejudices have no merit in the search for the truth. This holds if the truth is genuinely what one is searching for. One group of people should never be considered the magic wand in the study of the universe.

This is not to say that the conclusions of the so-called experts are wrong. Yet, they should be taken at face value as best guesses based on scant evidence. A little knowledge breeds contempt of those who are considered lacking acquaintance with certain information.

The horde gives in to this social brainwashing. They eagerly accept whatever they are contemptuously spoon fed by the self-proclaimed mastery. You can see it in the blank faces glued to their cell phones. You can also see it in the growing number of people who have lost their senses or are losing them.

Disjointed bones tell the whole story. Or do they? Can disjointed bones tell all that occurred to human anatomy during the most recent glacial period? This period is also known as the ice age. How new body types and skin complexions evolved in response to climatic conditions? How geography played a significant role in body adaptation to changing environments. How from one came the many that we have on earth today.

Between about 120,000 and 11,500 years ago, groups of people migrated to the northern latitudes. They began undergoing an adaptive physical change in response to the changing climate.

A few scattered bones are found. People misinterpret these bones as representing a different human species. An entire society is configured by bits and scraps scattered over long distances.

The bone bits get a name based on the first location of the bone fragments. The rest involves jumping to unsubstantiated conclusions.

With disjointed bone fragments the seeds of intolerance are formed, and knowledge is reduced to whims.
