Then where are the half-ape half-humans? Where are the current evolving species? Where are the proto-humans and super-humans? A few million years is NOT window enough for vast, out and out interspecies evolution across the globe. Sorry, it's bunk. And before anyone presumes, this is not coming from a "fundamentalist."


Look at the numerous "missing links" - most discredited, the rest tenuous at best.

There never was such a thing.

Where are the current evolving species?

All around you.

Where are the proto-humans and super-humans?

Protohumans died out because humans were better adapted to live in the changing envioronment than the former. I'm not sure what you have in mind with super-humans.

That's like asking, "where are the half-cats half-tigers?" The question is nonsensical.

Tigers are still part of the cat family, and humans are still part of the ape family (just as we're also still part of the primate group, and still mammals, and still vertebrates, etc.). You're mixing your classification levels.

Where are the current evolving species?

All around us -- including us.

Where are the proto-humans and super-humans?

The proto-humans are extinct (but many of their fossils have been found), the "super-humans" are in comic books.

A few million years is NOT window enough for vast, out and out interspecies evolution across the globe.

...and your evidence for this assertion is...?

Sorry, it's bunk.

Sorry, you're obviously quite unfamiliar with the field, and with the vast amounts of evidence for it.

And before anyone presumes, this is not coming from a "fundamentalist."

That's not the noun I had in mind...

Say what? You may not be a "fundamentalist", but you've clearly been reading their pamphlets. Your statement is quite simply untrue.

You mean like, say, Australopithicines?

Where are the current evolving species?

Everywhere around you. Human beings, for example.

Where are the proto-humans and super-humans?

What do you mean by proto-humans? There used to be more species of human floating around but the rest of them have gone extinct or have been absorbed into Homo Sapiens.

As for super-humans, what are you looking for, the X-Men? There is a mutation currently in the human gene pool that leads to increased muscle mass, if that counts.

Where are the ... super-humans?

If you wanted me, you could have just pinged me.

Hypothesis Contrary to Fact. Asserting the Negative.

Sorry, it's bunk.

Assertion without Proof.

Then where are the half-ape half-humans?

They are riding wooley mammoths just past the sunset of history.
