They unearthed an ANIMAL? I thought they were fossil hunters! And can anyone explain how fossils supposedly 13 million years old can show the posture of the original animal? I think the likely story is that they unearthed a fossil, and the rest is conjecture.

To: Willie Green
No, this is not a human ancestor.
It is clear from the study of the cranial dimensions which are limited, and its orientation that this creature belongs in the line of democrats.

Tree-dwelling and savanna-roaming varietals?

Evolution Ping! This list is for the evolution side of evolution threads, and maybe other science topics like cosmology.
See the list's description in my freeper homepage. Then FReepmail me to be added or dropped.

Thats all wrong...
I have found the ape that is the link to primate evolution..
Evolutinious Scientificus that lives in and around Acedemic buildings.. They are parasites that live on government grants and use tools..

Why don't they ever put a disclaimer in these articles, stating that these are truths based upon your belief in Darwins theory? They write these as if they were fact rather than fiction. Maybe because this is directed at the scientific community, which except for an extreemly few folks who make their money selling Creationist literature, is 100% in agreement with Evolutionary theory.

What's with the keyword spamming? Leftist slobs have nothing better to do?LOL!
Flying monkeys haven't evolved very far, have they?
To: Willie Green
"A nearly 13 million-year-old ape discovered in Spain is the last probable common ancestor to all living humans and great apes"Or it could just be another extinct animal.

You know, when I hear about new discoveries about celestial bodies, I never hear a disclaimer stating that those "truths" are based upon a belief in gravitational theory, yet no one seems to complain about that.

Pretty sure this one is an ape, just an ape. ;)
(But it's still one from a spot on the family tree we didn't have before.)

Or it could just be another extinct animal. The funny thing, though, is how those extinct animals when we find them continue to further outline what looks like a phylogenetic tree of life, as evolution demands. That's important because an intelligent designer wouldn't have to mimic evolution so precisely.
For instance, we could someday find a bird-amphibian hybrid or a fossil thereof, if only an intelligent designer had ever once seen fit to order one. Such a monster could not have evolved under the commonly understood amphibians-reptiles-birds evolutionary scenario. In fact, it would falsify that scenario at once. However, 145 years after Darwin, we have seen nothing like that. What we see might as well be evolution as anything looser.
