Cambrian ping.
Identified as an ancestor based on its resemblance to Democrats?
‘earliest human ancestor’
LooooooooooooooooooL.....
On second thought....earliest known Democrat ancestor?
;-o
The ‘truth’ is that we are ‘descended’ from every creature that ever was.
Inglorious beginnings: Experts trace humanity's origins to ancient worm
I'm NOT complaining about a duplicate thread, just adding a cross reference...
That we decended from this is fiction, of course.
There isn’t a single shred of evidence that indicates we evolved from anything. Nor is there evidence that any other creature jumped species and became something higher order.
But hey, science and the scientific method is for losers.
Looks like a mobius eel.
Amazing fossils!
“Earliest pre-vertebrate” would be a more accurate, but less sensational, headline.
MOOOOOOooooooooooooooo plop, plop, plop..........
My cousin, Pikaia Gracilens?
Once upon a time I would have argued...but having observed Eric Holder in action......
[[Müller stated, “The facts compiled also imply that the ancestor of all metazoans was a sponge-like organism.” Six years later, an international research group found in a “most comprehensive study” and “with a high degree of confidence” that the sponge “was not the ancestor of all other animals.”4 Even under the wrong paradigm, some evolutionists are getting certain pieces right when they follow the evidence where it leads. Led by researchers at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, the study found “that humans did not descend from a sponge-like organism.” It also suggested that “the nervous system only evolved once in animal history.”4 Creation scientists would clarify that human and animal nervous systems were created once during the six-day creation week just thousands of years ago.]]

There you have it folks, the ‘facts’ show we’re related to sponges! No- wait a minute, We’re realted to eels... Woops, noope, we’re realted to bananas-
[[Where did the early protochordates come from? In 2006, four evolutionists had a fancy way of admitting they did not know: “Despite their critical importance for understanding the origins of vertebrates, phylogenetic studies of chordate relationships have provided equivocal results.”7 Today, conflicting secular stories compete over vertebrate origins. Since there is no evolutionary pattern inherent in any biological information, Genesis must be accurate. God created kinds to reproduce after their own kinds. We can trust our origin (and destiny) to the One who was there “in the beginning.”]]
hmmmm- chordites just appeared on the scene and a link between protochordite and chordite can’t be established? But yet, we’re suppsoedly ‘related’ to chordites? Where’s the direct evidence showing a progression fro m chordite to man? Oh, there isn’t any? Then what the hell are scientists claiming an eel is our ancestor for then if they have NO FACTS connecting us?
Apparently they just need more government funding- must be nice getting paid whopping amounts of money to sit in a cozy lab and ‘argue’ with other folks about ‘facts’ that turn out to not be facts!!!!!
There is such thing as the theory of Evolution, there’s just a long list of creatures Chuck Norris allows to live ...
My hovercraft is full of them.
