Now if Adam and Eve were created around 6,000 years ago and they were the first human beings, now I am lost, http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/04/24/close.call.ap/index.html

Not lost at all, Blues. You simply evolved a brain and others haven't. Interesting stuff!
Interesting, but neandertaler lasted until about 30,000 years ago. They can't be speaking of homo sapien sapiensis. Cromagnon only existed about 45,000 years ago and its believed we are descended from that stock.
70,000 years ago. Science is getting closer. I remember reading when the earth was down to 8 people on a boat...

Hey,
Fish gills to Fish brains -- you are making progress. Maybe in another 6000 years; you'll make it to Bird.
Bye y'all,
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill

I'm still stuck on which came first, the chicken or the egg. 
Howard, by definition, I do believe that we are styled "Cro-Magnon," or modern Homo sapiens sapiens, because of the art and fire making, besides the skeletal remains being identical to other now existing human stock.
Of course, they could have been wiped out or joined with others and another Homo group actually be our ancestors, but they are close enough for anthropological and government work!
I think the representative and symbolic art is the kicker, along with the fire taming.
Have you heard of the theory that the language isolates of the Pyrennes and Caucus mountains (the Basque and Georgians, for example) might be actually the direct isolated remains of Cro-Magnon that never intermarried until late with other Afro-Eurasian stock?
The term Cro-Magnon is applied to both a cultural and physiological stage in human development, if I remember my anthropology properly, as well as the people on the Viscayan coast 25,000 years ago or so.

Spencer Wells' Journey of Man video is fascinating. I don't necessarily agree with it but its interesting nonetheless.
this is another interesting, related topic, about 95% of all native americans tracing back to 6 women.....
