Archeologists are combing the earth in an effort to uncover evidence of man being a flying species. Precisely,
‘Archeologists at an excavation site in Dunedin, New Zealand, discovered the fossilized remains of winged humans………… Dr. Herman Meyer of Massey University uncovered the fossilized bones of a human male with bird-like wings…….. “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” said Dr. Meyer. “One after another these fossils kept appearing out of the dirt. It led me to think that an entire civilization of winged humans once lived here!”
This was the interpretation of Dr Herman Meyer, a Massey University professor. A likely response to this discovery is whether New Zealand is the only place on earth where this type of human species can be traced. Importantly this discovery disputes Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theory which suggests that man evolved from water to earth.
It is then hardly likely for man to have had wings when according to evolution the next stage of man’s emergence is into a flying species. There should be no backward progression of the evolution process. If Meyer’s discovery is true then no human should be walking, but flying since we should have passed into the evolutionary flying stage.
Scientists predict findings based on their own paradigms and individual scientists differ in their interpretations; even so do individuals in their belief when considering these findings such as winged man.

I am inclined to think Darwin's theory is probably correct though.
Rated up.
Sometimes archeologists made up a story, which once happened here in Japan.
Having said that I hope this is a real one. Angels legend could have come from these people.
Vauldine, great news. Informative report,Rated up.
This is perhaps the biggest conspiracy of all time!
The human body is a known, quantifiable thing. We have completely sequenced the human genome and mapped the human DNA strand. We have completely dissected and catalogued the human body, its anatomy, its biology, its genetics. We know how it is conceived, how it develops, how it grows, how it works, and why it dies.
Interspecies genetics
Human DNA is chromosomally incompatible with the DNA of any other species. We cannot, and do not, exhibit genetic features of other species, nor can we produce cross-species offspring – there are no “hybrids”.
Height/Wingspan ratio
We have also explored the same things in animals, and know how they work. With animals such as birds, we also understand how the Laws of Aerodynamics allows them to fly (even the bumblebee).
A common bird has a height/wingspan ratio of between 1/4 and 1/6. This means that for a human of 6 foot height that they will have a wingspan tip to tip of between 24 and 36 feet. It’s simple math.
Such a wing individually would be between 12 and 18 feet long. If the wing connects to the back at the level of the shoulderblades five feet off the ground, and folds down 2 foot, up 4, and back down 6, then the bottom of the first wing joint would be below the waist (5 minus 2 is 3) at 3 feet off the ground, then back up 4 (4 plus 3 is 7) to 7 feet off the ground, and back down 6 to the tips being 1 foot off the ground. Each wing would weigh at least a hundred pounds of bone, muscle, sinew, tendon, ligament, wing membrane, and feathers. That’s two hundred extra pounds of wing connected to your back. By comparison a U.S. Army standard infantry pack weighs about 80 lbs. fully loaded. 200 lbs. extra on the back of a kid who weighs no more than 150 maximum average will crush them to the ground – they wouldn’t be able to walk far and would probably fall right over with the slightest breath of wind.
Lower extremities
Now we examine the legs. Human legs account for about 40% of your total body weight, so using the above example that is about 70 lbs, or 35 lbs per leg. Heavy, dense leg, full of large bones and muscle. Assuming that flight could be initiated, your legs would dangle straight down, creating air resistance and causing drag. Your momentum would slow and you would plummet from the sky.
Cardiopulmonary
Next is the cardiopulmonary system – the heart and lungs. Under ordinary circumstances the heart is about the size of your fist. It can only pump the amount of blood that you have in your body – about 5 liters on the average. Adding any significant fluid volume to that amount overloads the heart and increases the amount filtered through the liver. When muscles “work” they produce lactic acid and other waste products such as CO2 and uric acids. This waste has to be carried away by the bloodstream for excretion in the kidneys and lungs. That blood has to be pumped by the heart.
For flight to be possible the heart would have to be twice its size, as well as the lungs. The alteration in the size of the torso would be nightmarish. The connection of the wings to the torso would necessitate entirely new joint structures in the mid-back, and this would displace the shoulderblades, hunching the torso and making it unable to bring the shoulders and arms back. The force of the wings beating would either dislocate your spinal vertabrae, would cause breaking of your ribs, or both.
Environmental dynamics
The sheer size of such wings would make it impossible to walk, go through doors, ride in cars, or conceal. Aside from the folded dimensions I have already outlined, there would be no way to hide them under any type of clothing, so the person would never be able to go to the store, to the mall, clothes shopping, to a job, etc.
Bone and bone marrow
Bone density preclude any type of self-powered winged flight, as human bone structure is to dense and heavy. Our bones are filled with dense bone marrow, and our bones are not hollow like a birds’. If our bones could “hollow out”, we would lose our bone marrow which is where our blood cells are made. Without hemoglobin to carry oxgen to our tissues we would die from cellular asphyxiation in under three minutes.
Nutritional requirements
Flight would itself be quite impossible, for all the reasons I have outlined as well as other factors. The caloric requirement alone to sustain constant flight would be so large that even constantly eating would not satisfy the nutritional demands of your body – the very act of flying would consume more calories than you could reasonably ingest and would leave none for body maintenence. Within a few weeks you would be malnourished and constantly dehydrated – which would affect your blood volume levels, causing hypotension or rebound hypertension as your blood vessels would be constricted by the release of vasoconstriction chemicals in an effort to maintain blood pressure. This would place additional stress on the heart, which would weaken, probably either arresting in a myocardial infarction or rupturing in an aortic aneurysm, killing you.
Humans cannot, and do not, grow wings.
