DNA tests not possible from mere bones?
Where are you from? the 18th century?
A DNA test is possible from a piece of hair, a drop of saliva, a fingernail clipping, if you have a complete skeleton, you can bet that a DNA test can be done on it. and if you have a complete cadaver, you can bet that there is skin, blood, hair, fingernails, body parts of every sort, YES, G3K, a DNA test can and could be done.
And MOST fossils are rock, NOT bones, so no, A DNA test is NOT possible. They did a DNA test on a very ancient skeleton in England, and it turned out that the teacher in the high school that they did the tests with, was INDEED related to that ancient person.
Then you said this, That is what they claim. I am saying that it is a false claim.
I find this claim completely fascinating, can you tell me, what education have you had about paleontology that makes you state such a claim, have you a minor in paleontology, or perhaps some small piece of actual education to back this up, I can go and ask paleontologists, and they can tell me exactly how they do what they do, but you seem to think it's all flim flam?
Why is that I wonder? Oh yeah, MUST discredit such scientists, because they give IMPORTANT evidence for evolution, and if you DON'T like the evidence, then you MUST discredit those who discover it.
Your fanaticism is a wonder to behold, no lie is too deep, no misnomer is too ridiculous, no misquote too extreme.
A means to an end is a rather sad mindset, you are a sad, sad man. I actually feel sorry for you. Perhaps you should seek counseling.

And of course I was talking of cadavers that were just bones so the rest of your statement does not apply.

Gee, you attack me for saying we cannot get DNA from fossils and here you go and substantiate it yourself! You really are something! Of course your statement is just semantic nonsense, the fossils are not really rocks, they are bones which have been made rock-like by the absorption of minerals somewhat like the process that produces petrified wood.
