Science is dependent on grants. Finding an extinct species of chimp, monkey, gorilla or whatever doesn't get grants. Finding a human link gets grants.
The truth "is what it is." Many studies in all areas of science are based more on what gets the grants than what's true.
The old fossils and bones also serve as Rorschach tests. Dittos for studies of ancient cultures. The conclusions reached often say more about the person doing the studying than the subject. I guess it would be boring if all these studies said, "actually, we know damned little about these bones."

This does nothing to disprove evolution.You're right. But it often seems that the genetics involved, aren't.

Yeah, we've heard the fantasy, ad infinitum. We're lookin for some proof, for once, from you guys.No scientific theory can ever be proven, though scientific theories do have evidence supporting them.
Without googling, can you tell me which of these skulls are "humans" and which are "apes"?

Where are the apes’ ancestors?
I guess they’ll have to find their own, and set up their own grants for doing so.

You didn’t find those in Jeff Dahmer’s back yard did you?

Lucy is a real fossil, not a silly hoax like Piltdown. Sorry, but with all due respect, you do not know the facts here. The thing that can be argued is whether or not Lucy was in a direct line to us, not whether she's real or not. And Java man was a real fossil also (Homo erectus).

Your assuming that an individual with a meaningful mutation is going to mate successfully with a "mongrel," be passed on intact genetically to their first offspring, have that offspring continue to pass on intact genetically when mating still among at least some "mongrels" (depending on social mores), and that this mutation will then become dominant eventually all the while millions of fellow mongrels without the mutation are mutiplying happily about them? Uh huh.

David Menton’s video on the Lucy story would do for starters.

The burden of proof is on you unless of course you happen to have a photograph of a missing link wandering about the Neaderthal in denim jeans and a campy blazer.

And Ocean’s 12 was more sophisticated than The Sting.
So what?

We came from fish not apes. I forgot.

The fact is most archeological finds are lucky to come up with 25% of a complete remains.

The author fails to note that he is anti-evolution theory. That matters. Yep, he is an idiot and you are a genius, and that will never change, so why do you keep asserting that?

To: zeestephen
Technically, that is correct. According to evolution theory, man is not “evolved from ape,” rather apes share a common ancestor with man.

“A” is Donald Duck. The rest of those skulls on top look incomplete. “C” might pass for Goofy.
To: massgopguy
If we decended from the apes, why are there still apes? Exhibit Number One of someone who has zero comprehension of evolutionary theory.
If horticulturalists breed orange flowers from red ones, why are there still red flowers?

“Finding an extinct species of chimp, monkey, gorilla or whatever doesn’t get grants. Finding a human link gets grants.” Richard Kimball
That is incorrect. We have MUCH more remains of likely human ancestors from the same period of 3-5 million years ago than fossil remains of chimps or gorillas. This is most likely due to fossils being preserved better where human ancestors lived, rather than in the jungle where chimps and gorillas ancestors likely lived.
A good knuckle walking ape fossil of a likely gorilla ancestor from 5 million years ago would be a SPECTACULAR find and get plenty of grants.
