Meet the Saccorhytus, your oldest ancestor and your newest nightmare.
This week a team of paleontologists described a new link in the chain of human evolution — and it isn’t pretty. With its “bag-like body,” “prominent mouth” and no anus (it likely excreted waste from openings by its mouth, almost like primitive gills), the Saccorhytus looks like it crawled off the set of “Alien,” but researchers say the millimeter-long organism is a key early branch off our tree of life.
Look into the gaping maw of our oldest ancestors Look into the gaping maw of our oldest ancestors A 540-million-year-old fossil of the Saccorhytus was discovered in sedimentary rock in central China,

gawd, that’s even worse!
not all human beings have evolved from that disgusting creature. i had a boss.....
So it's an early ancestor of mainstream reporters?
Complete BS. Nobody can point to X 500 million years ago to Y today.
It is complete BS. I have had this argument who defend the THEORY of evolution as if it is fact, and nobody can ever answer any of my questions. They blow it off.
I have asked every one of them, what species did the horse evolve from. Every time, they will go on to list several species of smaller and smaller horse-like mammals as they trace back in time. I let them blow their wad and then ask, yes, but what species evolved into the very first small horse-like mammal. Trace me a line from amoeba to fish to amphibian to that small horse-like creature.
Nope, no can do. Not a single scientist on the planet has ever published a factual list of species from fish to amphibian to small-horse like creature. The smallest “horse” is just given as a starting point and it is ASSUMED that it evolved from something else.
Fine, PROVE IT. Because absent that proof, you can assume it evolved from some amphibian or you can assume God made a small horse-like creature from whole cloth, and it simply evolved into the modern large horse.
So don’t give me any bull___t that anybody KNOWS what is in the human family tree 500 million years ago. Nobody knows, and for all we know maybe we did start off with Adam and Eve.
FAKE NEWS. Scientists should never treat their theories as if they are fact. They are not.
It takes as much faith and probably even more that humans came from some amoeba by nature selection, trial and error all by itself by some mind boggling mathematical probability than just that at the least a creator created man and everything else at a certain point in what we call time
Saccorhytus was actually what was used to make Chesterfield cigarettes in 1967 “a silly little millimeter longer”
You’re right. Personally, I just cannot muster the faith necessary to believe the preposterous claims of evolutionists. There is obviously observed evolutionary changes within species, but the idea that random mutations could result in the staggering complexity of the human body and the internal systems that allow us to function is a bridge way too far, regardless of what atheists like Richard Dawkins claim.
My ex-wife?
Your oldest ancestor was a progressive.
The complexity of biologic life points to a designer.
1 in 10 to the 146th power for the simplest protein required for life alone to appear randomly. We are not random.
They say pretty is skin deep, but ugly is to the bone
that right there is proof!
more crap coming out of evolution/darwinian b.s.
Fake Science.
Yeah and the Christians are the crazy ones. /s
The excrement thru mouth links it to about 40% of modern Americans.
Genesis I makes no reference to a “designer”, or to any notion of “design” for that matter. Creation is by fiat, “Let it be so, and it was so.” ... like that.
In my mind, not so very incompatible with evolution, which after all, merely arranges things into a schema.
Why should it be so? Or indeed, how could it be so? Human life, particularly in the form of grandchildren, remains beyond the reach of scientific explanation, which is all that need be said.
