O Lord, here the (Crev)Nazgul come...

“Homosexual erectus” is latin for “Anthony Weiner”

[freedomfiter2]

it resembles modern humans in many respects, except for its smaller brain and differently shaped skull

They’re still around today, only now they’re known as Democrats.

I saw a picture with Obama and Wiener standing side by side and I thought Homo Erectus.

[PetroniusMaximus]

Personal, I am feeling older than previously thought.

[Happy Rain]

Ok,give us the latest—are we human because we have a big brain or do we have a big brain because we are human?

It seems to change at times.

BTW: No “new insights” into evolution are evident in the article.

[FlingWingFlyer]

If Darwin was right, why didn’t DemocRATs ever evolve? They’re still stuck on stupid.

The existence of the two species simultaneously has important implications for models about the origins of modern humans. One of the models, the Out of Africa or replacement model, predicts such overlap. However, another, the multiregional model, which posits that modern humans originated as a result of genetic contributions from hominin populations all around the Old World (Africa, Asia, Europe), does not. The late survival of Homo erectus in Indonesia has been used as one line of support for the Out of Africa model.

Say what you want about evolution (I think it is unsupported by the facts), these guys are at least honest enough to use the scientifically correct term "model" since it cannot be reproduced.

Homo erectus is widely considered a direct human ancestor --

Only by idiots and people with no familiarity with basic logic. The Neanderthal has been ruled out as a plausible ancestor for modern man because the genetic gap is too wide and erectus is considerably further removed from us than the neanderthal.

The only "insight" anybody needs to grasp wrt evolution is that evolution is a bunch of BS and, as junk science goes, a particularly harmful and dangerous variety of it. The fruit fly experiments should have ended the debate decades ago.

It’s culture that effects genetic modification, NOT vice versa

“how species come to be…”
sciencenews.org/index/feature/activity/view/id/331382/title/Evolution%E2%80%99s_Wedges

What drives “species come to be” is what drives all life/organisms to come to be, i.e. a proven successful route, circumstantially evolved culture, that enhanced the RNAs’ constrained energy by the culturally enhanced RNAs’ proliferation, followed with accordingly alternatively spliced expression.

This is evolution, i.e. enhanced constrained energy to delay-postpone the universal conversion of mass-formats to energy, to the energy that keeps fueling the expansion of the universe. This expansion will be overcome by gravity upon depletion of the universe’s massfuel, and will be followed by empansion for accelerating reverting of energy to mass all the way back to singularity. The universe is an allmass allenergy poles affair.

PS:
- It’s culture that modifies genetics, that changes gene’s expression. NOT vice versa.
- Epigenetics YOK. Alternative splicing is epiDNAtic, not epigenetic.
- ALL life is RNAs evolution products. RNAs are Earth’s prime organism.
