Cute.

Especially fun, no doubt, for the time challenged.

Perhaps this chart demonstrates that the circumstantial evidence of skulls is inconclusive.

Perhaps evolutionists presume that they know the cause of circumstantial evidence before examining it.

Thanks for the ping, jennyp!

A - E are monkeys and apes, F - L are hominids, i.e. a more advanced branch of the same line as chimps and gorillas than anything we have left, and the last two are humans. DNA studies say humans aren't related to the neanderthal and your pictures clearly show that all the others are further from us than the neanderthal was. We're not related to any of them.

There's an anti-evo that seems to think all of those skulls are fakes and frauds.
