Fossils Destroy Human Evolution Story Again

Posted on February 16, 2017

The old picture of human evolution is in tatters again.

“Your face is probably more primitive than a Neanderthal’s.” That surprising headline on the BBC News summarizes the radical change in thinking of leading evolutionary paleoanthropologists about so-called ‘modern’ humans: i.e., those members of our genus Homo that have been unblessed by the self-serving species name sapiens (“the wise”). If you read Richard Gray’s article without the assumption of evolution, you may find yourself questioning the sapience of some moderns.

Historical depictions of human evolution have been based on the myth of Progress.

“Your face is probably more primitive than a Neanderthal’s.”

Supports the theory of De-evolution. Man isn't coming from the apes, he's going to them.

I know at least 5 ex girlfriends that would attest to that.

Yes these are people looking at fossils and doing wild guess work. But this does not necessarily mean evolutionary theory is wrong. When questioning the validity of any theory or doctrine, I think it only fair to critique the most plausible forms of it. There are silly people with silly versions of any theory or doctrine out there.

Neanderthal models don't get nearly enough work.

Modern evolutionary theory is not empirical science but rather a metaphysical project favored by humans who reject the Triune God as Father and prefer instead to imagine themselves the uncreated product of unseen energies working on matter. Darwin is not the father of the evolutionary project, that distinction belongs to ancient Sumerians whose cosmogony, Enuma Elish, declares the evolution of the gods from Apsu. Likewise, the Egyptian Sun god Ra describes his evolution from Nu

I thought they were moving to the idea of getting porked by space aliens not evolution these days.

Was just making the one point, I am not an advocate of evolutionary theory. But I am an advocate of good arguments and a critic of weak ones whichever side I am on.

Not sure the existence of two different kinds of iguanas that are still iguanas has much bearing on the questions commonly debated. My own notions of the state of science as a layman depends on the question:

Does adaptive evolution within a species go on: Of cource

Does adaptive evolution result in entirely new species with new features: I guess it might, not sure

Does all life on earth descend form a common ancestor: Maybe, but not sure.

Did the first life spring forth by some abiogentic process unaided: Does not seem plausible, don't know of any realistic hypothesis about this.

For the two middle questions I do not feel my opinion is very informed as biology is not an area of study I have dedicated myself much to.

I think we should distinguish between evolutionary theory and Naturalism. While they are certainly related they are not exactly the same thing.

Naturalists of course are going to agree with modern evolutionary theory, because they have to. But they also have much bigger problems with their philosophy which are intractable, so I consider it irrelevant.

Still if someone wishes to study evolution within a naturalistic framework, I won't argue with them. If they try to convince me that evolution means Naturalism is real, or even a rational plausible view, then I will be ready and willing to argue.

Here’s the original article for those who don’t want to read the junk that goes through a misinformation filter. The headline is misleading if you draw conclusions from it.

With evolution, there’s nothing to critique.

Its vaporware.
