They still can't find that elusive human DNA link, can they? All they can find are animal bones. The poor souls just keep right on trying anyway.
I suppose everyone needs a hobby.

Yeah, funny that, isn't it? That ever elusive missing link. Are these the same people who harp on about how we are 99.99999999% exactly the same as chimps?

NO and they never will. But looking at the evil twins -Hill and Bill - I might be motivated enough to accept that a specific humanoid species survived if you get my drift.

what human DNA link is this? You both seem to know. I have never heard of such a thing that is missing. What specifically is missing?

[ahayes]

Are you expecting us to find DNA millions of years old? If so, may I submit you have no clue what you're talking about?

I have no idea what you're talking about. What exactly are you saying is missing?

I can't help noticing that none of you creationist scholars here have responded to my survey to try to determine just where this obvious dichotomy between "ancient ape" and "ancient human" lies.

So once again...

with fading hope...

I post the survey so you can straighten out us deluded evos:

Which of the following are "just an old ape" and which are "just an old human"? Try it, it's fun!

• (A) Pan troglodytes, chimpanzee, modern
  
• (B) Australopithecus africanus, STS 5, 2.6 My
  
• (C) Australopithecus africanus, STS 71, 2.5 My
  
• (D) Homo habilis, KNM-ER 1813, 1.9 My
  
• (E) Homo habilis, OH24, 1.8 My
  
• (F) Homo rudolfensis, KNM-ER 1470, 1.8 My
  
• (G) Homo erectus, Dmanisi cranium D2700, 1.75 My
  
• (H) Homo ergaster (early H. erectus), KNM-ER 3733, 1.75 My
  
• (I) Homo heidelbergensis, "Rhodesia man", 300,000 - 125,000 y
  
• (J) Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, La Ferrassie 1, 70,000 y

• (M) Homo sapiens sapiens, Cro-Magnon I, 30,000 y
  
• (N) Homo sapiens sapiens, modern

We know that A) is a modern chimpanzee and N) is a modern human. Everyone agrees that M) was a modern human as well. Your challenge is to fill in these blanks:
