The. Smartest guy I know looks like a cave man. Huge body, small head with sloped forehead. I would trust him with anything that needs figuring out. I often wonder, if scientists in the future would dig him up what they would think of humanity right now. Something like what some scientists think of old bones they have found already?
A sprinkling of pit bull genes?
Ok
Knock knock.
“Our findings are generally consistent with the notion that the morphological and behavioral differences between humans and chimpanzees are predominately due to differences in the regulation of genes rather than to differences in the sequence of the genes themselves.”
The headline makes no sense. If the actual genes that are expressed are 98% similar, that is very strong evidence of a close evolutionary relationship. The junk DNA doesnt code for anything so it is free to mutate without any negative consequences so of course it will have less similarity.
That dude’s hair gets bigger as the series goes on.
“creation scientists”
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Is the author imposing a belief on those he's criticizing, or do evolutionary biologists actually argue that this is a "MUST HAVE" occurrence/conclustion, leaving nothing else as a possible explanation?
Awesome tag line. It's kind of funny in that my dad retired as a MSGT in the Air Force but was in the Navy in WWII and retired before Vietnam got hot, I think he regretted that. Sadly, they don't seem to make men like that anymore, men that didn't complain (besides the normal military b*tching)and did their duty.
Being born and growing up in a military family definitely gave me a unique perspective.
After seeing what Marines go through in basic, I am in awe of any Marine. That's not to say the other services have it easy, they certainly don't, I do wish I could remember the jokes my dad used to say about the current basic for Air Force (he transferred from the Navy and went to AF and didn't have to go to basic. I guess being part of 3 different D days counts for something).
Is that photo from Star Trek TOS?

Yes, I posted it as a counterpoint to the Mooooschelle picture above it.
Apparently Mooooooschelle pictures aren't allowed on this thread.
oh, nevermind...
Really? I hadn't realized this was a specialty, or that the Bible was a text on genetics.
