Talk:Earth

Primates fist appeared in the fossil record on earth a little over 50000000 million years ago around the same time the Ancients arrived on earth presumably this is because of Ancients engineering life to evolve in to humans why then did it take 50000000 million years for humans to fully evolve to there present form on earth but it took less than 3000000 years for the same to take place on planets in the Pegasus Galaxy and why do no over planets that have been seeded with human life have any primate species besides humans.


 * WHAAAAAT?!? 50 billion years??? The universe didn't even exist then! You meant 50 million years, I think ("According to fossil evidence, the primitive ancestors of primates may have existed in the late Cretaceous period around 65 mya (million years ago), and the oldest known primate is the Late Paleocene Plesiadapis, c. 55–58 mya. Molecular clock studies suggest that the primate branch may be even older, originating in the mid-Cretaceous period around 85 mya."). So the Ancients arrived at roughly 85 million years ago.--Amitakartok 15:16, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Advanced tau'ri?????
In the info-box, is states: "Extremely Advanced (past) when occupied by the Ancients".

How does that make sense, when considering the Ancients arrived here thousands of years ago, mankind as a species was very primitive. meghunter99 13:05, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the Ancients themselves were extremely advanced. The Tau'ri aren't the only inhabitants of Earth. 194.75.128.200 14:06, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I see what you mean, but it just doesn't seem to fit. Humans, other than the Ancients, are the only sentient beings on the planet. And, even though the Ancients were advanced, it doesn't seem that Earth itself went through a "golden age" 5-10 thousand years ago. The Ancients were advanced, and even though they came to Earth, I don't see how that would constitute the Planet itself as being advanced. --meghunter99 14:26, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thats like saying Lantea isnt advanced just because Flagisallus live there Sman789 16:02, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * But Flagisallus isn't the dominant species on the planet is it? Tiger and Lions live on Earth, buy they aren't the dominant species. Just because some race is advanced and lives momentarily on the planet Earth, doesn't necessarily mean that that implies the whole planet at that time was as advanced.--meghunter99 16:35, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You forget that the Ancients came to Earth millions of years ago from another galaxy before Human life had even started to evolve. Earth, at that time, was highly advanced. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 18:00, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for teh clearing up, I understand now. However, I do have one more question. You stated that the Ancients arrived "before Human life had even started to evolve." So, do we ignore the evolution of the genus Homo entirely in this universe?--meghunter99 19:40, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

this is what happened. the ancients fled celestis to avoid fighting the ori. after thousands of years, they found the milky way and earth was one of the first group of planets settled on by the ancients. then they built the dakara superweapon on dakara to seed life in the galaxy as it seemed to be void of life. a plague killed off millions, ancients and humans alike i'd say. and then BEFORE they left for pegasus, they used the superweapon to recreate life. they prolly built a similar superweapon in pegasus to do the same. so around the same time, life was created in both galaxies. after years of fighting the wraith, the ancients went back to earth and saw that the humans were too primative so the ancients split up. i'd say the ancients were too few in number so thats y they weren't around to stop the goa'uld and reproduce with each other.

i think its safe to say that the ancients arrived on earth after the dinosaurs got wiped out.—SupremeCommander 19:52, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

ok earth has several ships all  Ancient and asgard knowledge and is on there way to becoming the most power full race in the universe surly it  time to go public it like the roman empire suddenly developing computers all modern real world technology and keeping it secret all but a few and why do  they never use  in for practical stuff Naquadah and ZPM could end the world energy problems  hand devices could cure most sickness

North and South America
Why did you get rid of the pages for north and south america when they were exactly like the other continets?
 * Well, I guess we could have them both, but they're really not that important. Both articles (north and south America) would contain VERY little information based on the amount of info the "America" article currently has. So, it makes more since to consolidate them (sort of like we did with the Article Rising). We combined both parts one and two into a single article because (at first) there was very little information. Another reason is that most of the information regarding North and south America has really never been directly mentioned in the show. Because of this, we start to include information from out of the Stargate universe... and that's generally not what we try to do here. &mdash;Anubis 10545 05:56, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Points of origin
I think we can add teh Destiny PoO here, since it was its PoO when it was launched from here :3 —Supakillaii (talk) (Contribs) 11:57, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Destiny doesn't have constant PoO, so we don't know what was the PoO at Earth! —Vilnisr (talk) (Contribs) 08:16, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Gate address from Destiny
Should the gate address from Destiny really have eight glyphs? Certainly SGU has established that it requires nine symbols to gate IN to Destiny, but I don't think it would require the ninth chevron to dial OUT from Destiny. Therefore, to dial back to Earth from Destiny would be an eight-symbol address, or rather seven symbols plus the point of origin. Right? 68.45.73.140 02:13, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
