Of course they didn't. There's a master race. Ordinary humans did.

I’ve never heard any evolutionist claim humans evolved from apes, so this isn’t much news.

Racing to clarify so we don’t have a thread of confusion—the idea is humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor.

Don’t confuse the luddites. They prefer straw men.

I thought it was always believed humans and apes had a common ancestor.

The original research this is based on just says that modern apes are as much diverged from the ancient common ancestor as modern humans are.

The article clearly states that both apes AND humans evolved from a common ancestor. Science has been saying this right along and it vindicates what Darwin postulated that the human lineage has been going on independently since the times those lines split..since the time of our common ancestor.The Ardi find bears this out.

Let the Roller Derby begin!

The reduction of scientific debate to elbows to the head and knees to the crotch continues apace.

This one doesn’t let honesty get in his way. Apparently he got the abridged version of the bible that doesn’t mention lying.
