My idea is that there is an island off the coast of Kenya that is thought to exist in two different time periods simotamiously. It exists 180,000 years ago, and it also exists in the present day. What I mean by this, is that if, say, a plant from the Paleolithic arrives on the island 180,000 years ago, that plant will appear on the modern island, and if a person builds a house on the modern island, that house will appear on the Paleolithic island. When a present day observer watches a Paleolithic bird arrive on the island, they see the bird suddenly appear on the shore, and when that same modern observer watches the Paleolithic bird leave the island, they will see the bird suddenly disappear when it reaches the shore. The same applies for a Paleolithic observer and a modern bird (or any other organism/substance). Can somebody help me describe this better so that if somebody reads an SCP article about this island, they will understand its anomalous properties? I have an idea involving early hominids coming to the island and displaying advanced behaviors, but I need the island's properties to be understood if I am to make my idea work.
Sounds like a time version of SCP-908. It has potential, but try to find more of a tack that overlapping time frames.
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.
Wow, you're right. What sort of tack?
And has the early-advanced-hominid idea been used already?
No… My idea is that a early hominid (h. sapiens, h. erectus, h. ergaster) are found to be living on this island, and display behaviors and possess culture that is far more advance than what early h. sapiens sapiens had.
Basically, we're finding out that modern humans are the dumb ones and early humans may have given us our culture. Without those intelligent early humans, we would never have had any culture of our own. And I'm not saying these early humans were astrophysicists, I'm saying they were problem solvers, incredibly curious, and had a huge potential to learn, more so than h. sapiens sapiens ever did.
Admittedly, I don't like that article. The article knows too much about this disease when 1. it kills instantly, 2. if it doesn't kill you, you don't notice a thing, and 3. how do they know baby SCP-1000s are just stillborn? What indicates that this is a disease, and how would anybody be able to discover a pseudo disease in a non-human that usually doesn't speak English, that is incredibly rare, and that might kill you instantly.

I'd hate to spoil SCP-1000 for you but I'm guessing you didn't read the whole thing, especially the huge Level 3 note at the end. I strongly urge you to read it. It should clear things up.
