I've been told by little people that I couldn't be a good biologist without believing evolution. My college professor with a doctorate in biology disagreed.

So what? After all, it's not as if he was some kind of rocket scientist or anything.

The old canard "Humans descended from apes" has been shown by the E folks to REALLY be "Humans and apes descended from a common ancestor".

Now the folks who study humans say that the 'opposable thumb' is what has given us such a great advantage over other critters: that it has given us 'tool making and using' abilities that FAR outstrecth the other animals.

My question is this: "Just WHEN did the monkeys, apes and lemurs get their opposable thumbs on their FEET?"

It seems to ME that this would give THEM a FOURfold advantage....



Another question: did our 'common ancestor' have two or four thumbs?? Did the M-A-L line EVOLVE the extra two after the split or did we HUMANS merely DEVOLVE them after the split?
