Ok, I'm game...

Based upon what we know from genetics and the archeological record, first define who, and what this primordial human might have been. Second you state that there was this die off of homo sapiens some 30-50,000 years ago (do I have those dates right?) yet we know that homo sapien sapiens have continually existed for 4x that length of time. Could you explain how this jibes with your opinion?

Was Primordal man conscious as we are?

I suspect Early Man was quite aware of his environment, primarily because there were quite a few elements of that environment that would gladly have him/her for a meal. I suspect they were quite well aware of their immediate surroundings, much more so than modern humans, well....except in some pool halls, or a couple of bars I've been in from time to time. Awareness has a lot to do with personal safety, if there is no real threat to your personal well being the awareness wanes; The more of a threat your environment poses, the more aware a person tends to be.

They were Neanderthals.

I would estimate Adams creation at 30-50,000 years ago, but that is a quess. And that length of time has nothing to do with how long Homosapiens existed.

Thats instinct, not awareness. Its how animals survived back then.

Where did you get that? It is you that often suggests that others leave, not me.

Yes, it's instinctive, but it's also being alert and aware of anything threatening that might be around you. You'd do the same thing today with any potential danger that could potentially injure or kill you.

Only after they suggest the thread is worthless, then I ask them why are they reading it, I don't tell them to go post their suggestions on a blog.

Peace.

NO, it's awareness, I've spent a good deal of time in third world countries under conditions you have only seen in movies.
The locals may be uneducated, non-religious,a paganistic animist society that follows no religion you would understand, it is awareness, if you are not aware, you will soon be dead, these natives are very aware of their surroundings. They have no use for your gods.
