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.

False.

The placement of Neanderthal in this photo does not imply descent. Duh?!

And your statement that we are not related to any of them is unsupported. And contradicted by a tremendous amount of data.

Have you ever wandered the stacks of a major university library? Checked the journals dedicated mostly to the broad field of evolution? Those journals take up floors! (Actually, a lot of it is going on-line, as its cheaper to subscribe than build new floors.)

This is the data you are contradicting with your statements. Belief is great, but waving away floors of data makes you look rather ridiculous. (With that much waving, have you reached V1 yet?)

Thanks! Now, to clarify: Which ones specifically do you think are monkeys?

And are you saying that although F-L are hominids, the similarity to humans is purely coincidental? (As in convergent evolution?)
