LOLO! That’s cold. I’m trying to be serious.
Well, I don’t have any limestone tiles. Out of luck.
Seriously though, this is an important and fascinating discovery. The oldest known TB case jumping from several thousand years ago to half a million years ago - big step in this field.
DNA studies indicate that we’re not even related to neanderthals, much less any sort of more primitive hominid.
What about the Red heads?
Scientist Discover World’s Oldest Bike Helmet.
International scientists were forced to reconsider conventional views of the history of bike riding when a 500,000 year old bike helmet was discovered in a Turkish quarry. . . .
There is vanishingly little genetic diversity in the present human race including red heads. Neanderthal DNA by way of contrast is typically described as roughly halfway betweeen ours and that of a chimpanzee. In other words, the neanderthal who was the most advanced hominid, was basically a glorified ape despite his rough resemblance to us. Everybody who studies this stuff pretty much agrees this rules the neanderthal out as a plausible human ancestor and that has to rule the others out as well.

Author Ann Gibbons? That's cute. ;') Thanks Blam for the ping, and neverdem for the topic. Duplicate topic though it may be, that graphic is cool. |

False.

False.

Neanderthal has not been considered a plausible ancestor for decades, but not because of the DNA studies--which have taken place only in the last 10 or so years.
... and that has to rule the others out as well.
False.
You really need to study some of this before you post your opinions. Virtually everything you said is wrong.
Do you take ignorance pills?
No, but I did study fossil man and evolution, and related subjects, in grad school.
Unless things have changed considerably, your positions (above) are wrong.
No, but I did study fossil man and evolution, and related subjects, in grad school.
Same thing pretty much...
Your exchange is part of the reason I usually just read the article and leave when a thread relates to Crevo/Evo.
I’m out of here. Please continue to insult each other.
Me: No, but I did study fossil man and evolution, and related subjects, in grad school.

No, they are not. If you are arguing from religious belief, you should just say so. Don't pretend what you are doing is science.
Im out of here. Please continue to insult each other.
I have posted no insults -- I don't need to insult anyone. I have simply pointed out that a position stated on a previous post is false with respect to science.
And I have ignored the insults that were directed at me. (I'm an "evo" so I'm used to being insulted.)
Have you NEVER insulted anyone on one of these Crevo/Evo threads?
Be honest...
Humans have only been here @ 7000 years. It cracks me up to see those 6 and 7 digit numbers.
