Majlis Bicara Buku (Book Discussion) with Prof Dr Muhammad Zainiy Uthman and Dato Seri Zaini Ujang discussing on a newly published book (2023), Islam: The Covenants Fulfilled by Tan Sri Prof Dr Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas.
Firstly the whole idea is discussed through different lens and different rubrics (watch full video and other video as well). Secondly, it is mentioned by Prof Zainiy Uthman as quoted from Prof al-Attas " We can't put man under Homo Sapiens (300,000 years ago)" as the creation of man started from the creation of ruh. Again this is through a different rubric. Thirdly, archaeologically, we have the first "man" found (in Perak) carbon-dated around 11000 years ago and also Nenggiri "woman" around 14000 years ago found in Gua Musang Kelantan. Close but not exactly the same and of course it requires extended research. However, again the whole idea here is discussed through different lens and rubrics. Disclaimer: I'm not an expert in archaeology neither in philosophy. Just a passer by that found the discussion interesting.
