• 05:4205:42, 2 August 2014 diff hist −6 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

• 16:5316:53, 1 August 2014 diff hist −1 Judaism fixed re-wording; it is the oldest truly monotheistic faith
• 15:4715:47, 1 August 2014 diff hist −8 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

There is no quote saying these tenets of Christianity gained their "form and substance" from Zoroastrianism

• 12:0812:08, 1 August 2014 diff hist +63 Christianity →Early Church and Christological Councils: you are pushing a POV here; this source is a minority opinion, including by John Bowker, but was not entered here in the right context as in the source
• 11:5711:57, 1 August 2014 diff hist −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
• 06:5106:51, 1 August 2014 diff hist +32 Christianity →Early Church and Christological Councils: reworded this sentence; the reference by Bowker speaks about some similarities with Zoroastrian beliefs in areas where the two faiths came into contact, not that these Christian beliefs came from Zoroastrians
• 06:4706:47, 1 August 2014 diff hist 0 Origins of Christianity →Influence on early Christian theology: removed poor wording and possible vandalism ("diatribe")
• 06:2106:21, 1 August 2014 diff hist +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

• 16:1116:11, 10 March 2014 diff hist +601 Recent African origin of modern humans Undid revision 598962427 by Dudley Miles (talk); these are reliable sources as they links to academic journals; one source from science direct is also an academic journal
• 16:0516:05, 10 March 2014 diff hist +727 Neanderthal Undid revision 598961253 by Izotz Aro (talk) undid POV re-vert; these ARE reliable sources - academic journals and periodicals are reliable sources
• 06:4706:47, 10 March 2014 diff hist +754 Interbreeding between archaic and modern humans this article is written as if it is fact but this is merely a theory with scant evidence; admixture is not the "overwhelming consensus" at all; there is equal evidence that the DNA is ancestral in origin

• 06:3506:35, 10 March 2014 diff hist +517 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 2014 diff hist +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

• 21:3721:37, 4 December 2013 diff hist −563 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)
• 21:1221:12, 4 December 2013 diff hist +595 Recent African origin of modern humans provided studies supporting the other side of the argument, asserting the presence of archaic human DNA in modern humans is ancestral in origin

• 21:0321:03, 4 December 2013 diff hist +754 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
• 20:5920:59, 4 December 2013 diff hist −1 Neanderthal →Interbreeding hypotheses {{anchor|Interbreeding hypotheses}}: hasn't been proven whether the archaic DNA in humans originated from admixture with neanderthals

• 20:5520:55, 4 December 2013 diff hist +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 2013 diff hist −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
