Helen Thomas was walking that long ago?

Do you credit as true the theory that humans evolved from apes?

Seven million years ago there were plenty of reasons
for early man to be quickly able to get up in a tree...

Human history extends into deep time. Make no mistake, most evidence of ancient human civilization is under 350 feet of ocean.

“Seven Million Years Ago, the Oldest Known Early Human Was Already Walking”

...and Nasty Nanzi Peelousy can personally attest to that fact!

Sahelanthropus tchadensis was presumably discovered in the modern country of Chad.

I'm looking forward to when they announce the discovery of Sahelanthropus jeremyensis.

There’s an image of what the monkey was said to look like here.

No use waiting to learn how to do it.

If one where to do a man on the street type question we would discover that quite a number of people do not know the difference between a monkey and an ape.

This song was probably going through his head at the time:

I'm Walkin' (Fats Domino)

[imabadboy99]

Whatever. These scientists are making wild guesses and calling it ‘science.’

[SuperSonic]

Same discovery, but a different conclusion : Humanoid lived millions of years ago walked on all fours closer to chimps than humans

[rellic]

This might be interesting if it always wasn’t framed in the Humanist vs. Theistic politic.
I’m tired of “scientists” trying to deny the existence of God and I’m tired of theology people trying to deny how we developed into what we are today.

[vpintheak]

News for the atheists. Humans have always walked.

Nancy Pelosi?

Looks more like only 6,999,999 years ago to me. /s

[Signalman]

7M years ago they weren’t human. They were pre-human. More ape than human.
