The timing of molar emergence and its relation to growth and reproduction in apes is being reported by two scientists at Arizona State University's Institute of Human Origins in the Dec. 28 online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). From the smallest South American monkeys to the largest African apes, the timing of molar development and eruption is closely attuned to many fundamental aspects of a primate's biology, according to Gary Schwartz, a researcher at the Institute of Human Origins and an associate professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change in ASU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences... Because of the difficulties in obtaining tooth emergence ages from animals in the wild, Kelley opted for other means; he searched for specimens in museums. At the Zoologische Staatssammlung in Munich he found skulls of a wild-shot orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus) and gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) that preserved emerging first molars... the two scientists were able to mark the age of the gorilla's first molar emergence at 3.8 years, nearly identical to that of a wild chimpanzee's. The orangutan's age at first molar emergence was surprisingly much later, at 4.6 years, which falls closer to the age of approximately 6 years in modern humans... However, he and Schwartz caution that though the later emergence age in these large Asian apes is closer to that for modern humans, these latest findings should not be taken to indicate some special evolutionary relationship between the two.

I’m telling ya, OBAMA is the MISSING LINK!
“I ain’t descended from no monkey” crowd in 3...2...1... (they’re so cute LOL)
I tell ya what he has no wisdom teeth thats for sure
If we evolved from Monkeys why are the still here ??????
>>If we evolved from Monkeys why are the still here ??????<<
Because SOMEONE has to fill volleyballs with air!
>>evolution my azz... God created all things ya LIBS just don’t want to believe HIM! <<
No question, God created evolution and all the rules of physics that make our Universe Go.
If *only* he were missing...
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you will never find evolution in the bible..sorry ><>
>>you will never find evolution in the bible..sorry<<
You won’t find physics, astronomy and chemistry either.
I use the Bible as a guide to live my life and how to treat God and other people and as the story of how His Son died on the cross for me (and you). I guess you use it as a science text.
Sorry.
>>So predictable. Attack anyone who doesn’t believe your fairy tales.<<
The irony is palpable.
heres a neat verse...Isaiah 47:13-14 (NIV translation): All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you. Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves from the power of the flame. Here are no coals to warm anyone; here is no fire to sit by.
I think he'd had really good toke just before the photo was taken.
