No way. Martial arts started in Lemuria.

whats debatable, ?
why have you chosen 40,000 years, humans have been around and fighting each other for 200,000 years.. The question is when did fighting become an art, rather than a evolutionary necessity ?
Day one. There was always somebody who knew a few things,
Dancing was a way to practice; so, the day they invented dancing.

Thought dancing was invented when alcohol was and someone stepped on the fire?
But, man, was he pissed.

Yeah my husband has to be that drunk to dance.
Once though he did a Zulu Warrior on top of one of the tables in the Mess, went to take his sock off, fell off and broke his nose. Dancing can be dangerous.

Because without looking it up the first recorded depictions of systemised martial arts training is about 50,000 years. So I gave myself 10,000 as a bit of leeway

how do you have expected them to rec
how do you expect them to have recorded it 200,000 years ago. How are you claiming they recorded it 50,000 year ago
According to some scientist, human beings, as we understand them, somehow, only came into existence, at the 50,000 year mark. Anything before that is not related to homo-sapiens; however, they may have been intelligent Nephlim Cone-heads, but they were not related to homo-sapiens.

which scientist are those, the consensus seems to be 200,000 . And going backwards as they make more finds
They aren't finding humans. Even if you found a live Neanderthal today, he wouldn't be human.

well yes they are, have you some reputable source for the assertions that humans only appeared 50,000'years ago.
I will look but, you have to understand Europe was not populated by humans, but by humanoids with different behaviors, and hunting patterns. They don't even know if there eyes were round, or in slits. They are gonna find this stuff, and keep finding it, but Homosapien People, you will not find before the 50,000 mark.

Yeah, he would. Humans are classed as genus HOMO. The earliest found (so far) is Homo habilis, who shows up nearly three million years ago. Through evolution, anatomically modern humans started showing up about 200k years ago and through continuing evolution became Homo sapiens about 50k years ago. There is evidence that H. sapiens encountered H. neanderthalensis repeatedly during the expansion eras, and the presence of Neanderthal genomes in H. sapiens indicates that interbreeding took place. That couldn't happen if Neanderthals weren't human.
Not reputable, but interesting.
Some believe rape took place, but we were never friends.
As soon as they started sewing animal stomachs together to make bag pipes, and to carry water for hunting trip, away from the river, you are dealing with homosapiens.

I'm pretty sure Neanderthal's made water bottles out of animals they were culturally quite advance. That they didn't make bag pipes shows them to be more advanced
