Zoroastrianism
Judaism pre-dates Zoroastrianism by at least 1000 years; the use of the word "later" is a bias; the earliest Zoroastrian texts date to the 3rd century AD

Christianity
→History: the wording here is entered as if it is fact or a widely held consensus, which it is not, but is only based on the opinion of one author; the earliest Zoroastrian texts date to the 3rd to 4th century AD, long after the onset of Christianity

Zoroastrianism
still being discussed on talk page, but removed "later" from this sentence; Judaism likely pre-dated Zoroaster, but certainly pre-dated the first historical mention of the Zoroastrian religion circa 500 - 600 BC

Judaism
Undid revision 619426602 by Paul Barlow (talk) un-explained re-vert, possibly vandalism; the source specifically states Judaism as the oldest living monotheistic faith
13:2013:20, 1 August 2014diffhist−547
Christianity
removing this source entirely; after finally locating a copy of the book, this quote is not entered in the same context as his writings on p.13. There is no quote saying these tenets of Christianity gained their "form and substance" from Zoroastrianism
11:5711:57, 1 August 2014diffhist−8
Judaism
re-worded; read the sources - they state specifically is the world's oldest monotheistic faith; the singular belief in Yahweh predated the next monotheistic faith, Zoroastrianism, by about 1000 years
06:2106:21, 1 August 2014diffhist+24
Christianity
re-worded; these are merely the opinions of this author; there is no evidence to support his claims as the final judgment, heaven, the end of the world, angels, etc. were found in Judaism and Jewish text, not Zoroastrian

Zoroastrianism
added Boyce reference mentioning influence on Zoroastrianism from other contemporary faiths, including Judaism (the Babylonian exile occurring at around the same time as the earliest written records of the existence of Zoroastrianism)

Zoroastrianism
Judaism is not a "later" religion, it and Jewish monotheism pre-date Zoroastrianism; this wording is also not found in the source text

Neanderthal
The study did not say this whatsoever; stop with POV pushing for the neanderthal-AMH interbreeding side of the argument;

Archaic humans
Undid revision 584655142 by Agricolae (talk)re-verted POV edit; the theory is not "dead on arrival": this is information from a valid source and ancestral origin of the DNA is equally supported
06:3106:31, 10 March 2014diffhist+601
Recent African origin of modern humans
re-verted unexplained deletion of information which is supported by valid sources; the admixture theory remains just that, a theory; the contrasting argument the the DNA is ancestral in origin has not been discounted whatsoever

List of Chinese inventions
→Pre-Shang: see fork article; forks found in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia pre-date those found in China; thus, this is not an invention from China (like so many other things listed here which seem to be just Sinophile propoganda)

Interbreeding between archaic and modern humans
admixture between homo sapiens and archaic humans is still a THEORY; this biased article has been written as OR and as if it is proven, and provides ZERO references to the considerable number of studies which dispute the admixture theory
20:5520:55, 4 December 2013diffhist+751
Neanderthal
this article is heavily biased and presents none of the considerable evidence showing that the presence of Neanderthal DNA in humans can be attributed to a distant common ancestor
20:3720:37, 4 December 2013diffhist−241
Neanderthal
removed claim about otzi the iceman - blogs are not valid academic sources, and this one makes false claims about Otzi not based on verified genetic data
