Actually Chimps. the general consensus in the theory is that humans branched off from chimps sharing a common ancestor, not a missing link.

Re: Oldest "Human" Skeleton Found--Disproves "Missing Link"(?)

The thing that gets me is that homo sapiens, our species, has been around for about 120,000 years and Cro-Magnon, or, essentially, us, came into being about 35,000 years ago.

Civilization, however, is ten millenia old at the absolute outside, and most experts really only give it a little over half that.

My GOD what took us so long???

The jury is still out on whether civilization is such a great idea isn't it?

Question Re: Oldest "Human" Skeleton Found--Disproves "Missing Link"(?)

the funny thing about this is how man takes care of it's dead.

think about it!. we bury our dead or burn our dead have so since the beginning of time!. that being said the chance of finding human remains is about nil!. the oldest remains that i know of come from egypt because they embalmed there dead. so where are the prehistoric chimps and apes? that is the big question.

Re: Oldest "Human" Skeleton Found--Disproves "Missing Link"(?)

I love science and the idea of evolution because it makes the most sense but I have a problem with the whole "evolution thing" and accepting it for fact when no viable conclusive evidence is brought fourth to validate the idea of evolution makes the idea even that much more valid then before.

In other words, where the fuck is the missing link?

Every few months or so you claim you found it but to no avail.

People wonder why I claim science is wrong 99.9% of the time, this is a fantastic example.

You're kidding, right? Beside fossils, there is plenty evidence from biochemical and ontogeny circles to reinforce the theory of evolution. It's a very strong theory (and I mean that in the scientific sense).

Er... there isn't really such thing as a missing link.

But if there were, and you found it, it woudl simply create two more missing links.

NO its not a strong theory, adaption yes, evolution NO.

You have ZERO physical proof of evolution right? so basically the theory is as about as good as the theory of space aliens mating with primates and creating the human race no?

I don't think you making that claim is any mystery at all, and I have little doubt as to why you make it.

All fossil evidence shows that homosapiens just "appeared" out of thin air.

Reading most of his rants, I'm almost close to guess, that the Swoop mom hasn't believed in the theory (99 % wrong) of consuming alcohol and drugs during pregnancy could be harmful to the unborn Swoop as well.

Does such behaviour already qualify as a missing link in human evolution?

Re: Oldest "Human" Skeleton Found--Disproves "Missing Link"(?)

I'm not going to bring religion into this but ... How do people just "appear" out of thin air?

There is a humongous gap between humans and what is believed to be evolution between last ancestors.

Were not talking about alligators and crocodiles, were talking about primates and humans

Tell me, have you actually done research to see if the holes that you see in evolutionary theory might not just be holes in your knowledge?
