I saw this thing on national geographic
it said there where 4 kinds of humans 30,000years ago
Hobet-Little people in lord of the rings
Some big people-I dont know there names to hard to remember but it said there average height is 9ft
Humans-Regular people right now
the other one i forgot the name but they where just like regular humans except there had waaaaaay more muscle
im just wondering is that true cause i think its bs
but i dunno for sure

Hmm...hobbits..nope.
Giants...well..maybe goliath
Super saiyans...no, nothing about it either.
book didn't say anything about it, so it didn't happen.
Okay

LMAO if your going off a book that was written by some guy that thought it would be fun to write down some BS then you are fecking stupid. To address the first post OMG are you kidding me. Here again shows are arrogance that every think that stood was human. If you believe this for a second why do say they were all human??
I hope I am mistaken, but are you trying to speak against the bible? your going to hell for that you know.

Change my mind so much I can't even trust it

This sentence made no sense to me at all.
Ladies and gents i think we have Darwins missing link right here.

If only it was actually funny! Then he would really have something.
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
"hobbits" are a little sketchy, we've found some skeletons of an anthropromorphic species from the time period that averaged about 4 feet in hight yet appeared to have fully adult features. They do appear to be a seperate species, but we are currently having issues about being certain one way or another, especcially since some of the finds have turned out to be definate frauds.
The 9 footers, I doubt it, there have been some rumors now and again about such a species, but there has yet to be a single scrap of solid evidence that I have heard about.
Humans, no, but there was the precursor to modern humans. Our current species bears the moniker of Homo Sapiens Sapiens, and yes the double wording was deliberate.
The final species would have been the Neanderthals, who are probably quite close to whatever mental images you can conjure upon hearing the word caveman. Ancestral humans came into contact with them shortly before they disappeared, no signs of fighting have been found, they were either outcompeted and/or the two interbred. They had a larger braincase than our ancestors, were quite strong, and had adapted to life in the ice filled climate of what is now called Europe. However skeletal adaptations had robbed them the ability of full armsocket rotation, in other words, they were unable to throw objects properly. When it comes down to evolutionary advantages, the ability to kill creatures from a distance with a spear or slingstone tends to lengthen ones life when hunting creatures such as an Auroch or woolly Mammoth. Its Ironic that in this case, brains did not appear to "win the day"
Oh, and I agree Draenor, its not funny at all
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

It depend on how you define "kind" of human. If you agree that there are only 1 "kind" of human atm, then I doubt there was ever 4 at any moment, but who knows. We came from Africa as a specie if the archeologists are to be believes, and there was another kind of human in Europe, sturdier.
The other "kind" of human in Europe did go mostly extinct as we strive for the same ressources, and conflicts results. Some theorists think they breed into our kind and where assimilated, but if this is the case, they are an insignificant % of the breed of any modern human. It appears that the kind which use the most sophisticated tools prevails, despite been a lot more frail. Maybe they wheren't as agile and fast.
All this is hard to developp or prove, as we are talking in time lenght exceeding our known history by at least 10 times.
At any rate, whatever we evolves from, we are most certainly responsible for it disappearance as well.

Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
Neanderthals are the more muscular ones you speak of.
Our predecessors were there too.
Ironically enough neanderthals actually have the biggest brain out of any humanoid species yet discovered.
"We" just survived over them because we were more "pack" oriented, as in if they played WoW they would solo and then quit at like level 59, we would group all the way to 70

If only it was actually funny! Then he would really have something. You wouldn't find anything that mocks christianity funny, so thats not saying much.
What we do know for sure is that the various homonid species, at certain times, did coexist with the remnants of "less-evolved" (differently evolved is perhaps more accurate) species. We have very compelling evidence that shows homo sapiens coexisted with Neanderthal Man for a short time. That's not in dispute among reputable scientists. That said, they coexisted in the sense that they lived at the same time period. It's highly doubtful that there was any interraction between the two.
Your "hobbits" are homo floresiensis, or Flores Man, a species which had brains the size of grapefruits but were roughly three feet tall. A handful of reputable specialists discovered and studies remains of these people in Indonesia. Again, this is not really in dispute.
The "giants" (humans roughly two to three times larger than us) are not widely accepted as having existed. Don't get me wrong. There is some minor compelling evidence, but minor evidence is a long way from convincing the entirety of the scientific community, and rightfully so. "Giant" man seems to have lived much more recently than any other homonid, save for us. We see numerous mentions of such people in the discovered writings of the earliest human civilizations. Some anthropologists have also found tombs which supposedly housed the remains of these "giant" men. Their existence is an area of contention, with a mix of fact and supposition driving theorists who support it. Here's what's fact. We have found many tombs (dozens) which, by the markings inside and proportions that we see, suggest that some kind of large man was buried inside. Many of these correspond with the archaeological findings of their time period which talk of such people. What's in dispute is that the very scant fossil evidence found in such tombs can be meaningfully interpreted.
Part of our fascination with giant man is that they feature so strongly in ancient culture. They're mentioned in the Old and New Testament, as well as writings from the Egyptian and other ancient civilizations. Perhaps suggestively, they're almost always mentioned not not as the exception, but as a race in themselves. It's a romantic notion to think such men lived as kings or tyrants, as they usually were depicted to be. Then again, we see a lot of common myths across very different cultures. That itself is not evidence of their truth.
Still, we can't dismiss the notion of collective memory. To begin with, we don't entirely understand memory. If a nation or civilization can pass on basic beliefs to its people without ever teaching them, which is a mostly accepted idea, who's to say that many of our fantasy archetypes are not partially based on some greater racial memory? It's an interesting idea, just not one that can be scientifically supported at this time.
Not every branch on the evolutionary tree survived or contributed to modern humans. The one they named "hobbit" were not really hobbits, they named it in tribute to the creatures of LoTR and did wonder but it had turned out it was a modern human with a disease, related to the surviving inhabitants of that island who were all very short (shortest was the oldest man on the island, the little guy they had to carry into the hut). I can't remember the name of the disease offhand but it retards physical development (not mental) and keeps a person smaller, the confusion arose since the islands inhabitants can be classified as pygmies already, the disease made the individual even shorter.
There are also some people at the opposite spectrum, extremely tall, and a disease, gigantism, I believe it's pituitary related as the other may be too. The National Geographic show explored both spectrums after scientists had found the previously mentioned "hobbit" (the show's been aired a number of times, I'd suggest watching it better next time). It's really a good piece that not only explores the many branches of evolution but the problems entailed with finding fossils of people with diseases that cause irregularities.
As to the arguments about creationism vs evolution here's a few things for you to think of.
1. How long is a day in heaven? (I don't remember any mention of who's day it was, some planets have days lasting hundreds, thousands, possibly millions of years) Who's to say that one day in heaven is not a billion years on earth?
2. If the creator is all powerful couldn't he/she create humans any way he/she wants to? No matter what man is still made of the elements of the earth, clay if you will.
3. The various holy text are suppose to be our creator's words to his children, when you explain something to your own children do you give them all the technical details? No, you put it in simple terms they can grasp and leave it to them to learn more as they grow and can understand better.
4. If you found we did evolve would you then reject the creator you profess your love for? If so, how sad and shallow a love.
Half the problems with religious conflicts arise from the fact that there are many interpretations, listen to the word, not to the reader.
