History of The World Game

[Ramjet]

I recommend "Taipan" a bloody good read by James Clavell ,fiction based on fact,

It's years since I read it.------should do so again

Pete

Yes a great read Pete.

Have you have read: 1421 The year China discovered the world?
Non fiction, tho some would argue. Very controversial. Still a good read.

Now a question.....Once upon a time there at least X species of humans on the planet and possible as many as Z?
What are the values of X and Z. Bonus fake points for naming all the X species.

Rod,

1421 is a great read.I go along with his theories.The fleet must have been huge.

Some years ago there was a bloke by the name of Gilroy wrote a piece about the Chinese visiting the east coast of Oz.
There were suppose tO be Rock Engravings of Chinese Origin on the central coast .I contacted NPWS.at Gosford ,but they knew nothing about them.
There was further evidence up near Gympie,------maybe they were on the gold. It's all very vague unfortunately.

At least 2 *** modern humans & neanderthals ** X
Most agree 3 was the most with the addition of ** denisovan ** Z

 

[Ramjet]

I'll give it to you Mando.
My information is 3 definitely. denisovans being the 3rd as we definitely interbred with them. Aborigines and polynesians have up to 5% denisovan DNA. Modern humans have 2.5% neanderthal DNA

Possible 6 different species occupied the planet at the same time.
The homoflorensis or hobbits discovered in the last few years are an almost definate.

Your turn.

Close enough Pete although you are a bit short on the length its 231 feet long you also missed the misrepresentation its considered to be an embroidery not a tapestry
