Reality, of course, is that here we are 150 years later, and there's still not ONE such obvious transitional to support the theory as it is worshiped today. Not a single solitary ONE.

You guys keep saying there are no transitions, NOT ONE.

Here is a transitional (a real handsome one too). Note its position in the chart which follows (hint--in the upper center):



Fossil: KNM-ER 3733

Site: Koobi Fora (Upper KBS tuff, area 104), Lake Turkana, Kenya (4, 1)

Discovered By: B. Ngeneo, 1975 (1)

Estimated Age of Fossil: 1.75 mya * determined by Stratigraphic, faunal, paleomagnetic & radiometric data (1, 4)

Species Name: Homo ergaster (1, 7, 8), Homo erectus (3, 4, 7), Homo erectus ergaster (25)

Gender: Female (species presumed to be sexually dimorphic) (1, 8)

Cranial Capacity: 850 cc (1, 3, 4)

Information: Tools found in same layer (8, 9). Found with KNM-ER 406 A. boisei (effectively eliminating single species hypothesis) (1)

Interpretation: Adult (based on cranial sutures, molar eruption and dental wear) (1)

I knew I could depend on one of our FRevolutionists to post a beautiful picture and chart that is allegedly of an irrefutable transitional fossil that's widely accepted by the whole world, a picture that settles it once and for all. And I was right.

Unfortunately, like every other such example, 3733 isn't even settled in the circles of evolutionary dogma; its rightful place in the charts is far from obvious and irrefutable, even among the most faithful evolutionary apostles. As should be the case, since it's almost certainly just a human skull. Hint: There are MANY variations in the shape of the human skull, even today.

Like I said, there are NO obvious transitional fossils. Not one. Amusing that stuff like this is the best you can come up with, when Darwin's own writings made it clear that the fossil record should now be OVERFLOWING with them.

MM out.
