True..and many insist (just as rabidly ) that a few fragments of bone prove evolution.

Here are a few of those fragments.

Herto skulls (Homo sapiens idaltu)

Some new fossils from Herto in Ethiopia, are the oldest known modern human fossils, at 160,000 yrs. The discoverers have assigned them to a new subspecies, Homo sapiens idaltu, and say that they are anatomically and chronologically intermediate between older archaic humans and more recent fully modern humans. Their age and anatomy is cited as strong evidence for the emergence of modern humans from Africa, and against the multiregional theory which argues that modern humans evolved in many places around the world.

Ok...you have a picture of a skull pasted together from fragments.

..and that PROVES evolution is a fact how????

I have bones and bone fragments from the Triassic and Jurassic period. The animals from that period had hands...feet....skulls. It does NOT prove evolution.

It proves that animals of that type were alive at some time in the earths past.

Your picture of that skull does NOT prove evolution.

It merely proves that an animal (semi-human like) existed at some time in the earth's past.

First: Did they compare the morphology of this skull to various existing humans? Humans have a significant morphological range. If this skull matches within a certain range to living human races, then you can pretty much eliminate the intermediate species interpretation.

Second: Since there is no empirical definition of species or subspecies, the discoverers are simply stating their opinion (influenced by their a priori assumption that evolution is fact).
