Lice offer clues to origin of clothing

USA TODAY ^ | 8/18/2003 | Tim Friend

[demlosers]

Human body lice appear to owe their origin to the invention of clothing, and the types that reside on our bodies appear to have hitchhiked along as modern humans migrated out of Africa about 100,000 years ago.

Mark Stoneking and colleagues at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, made the connection between the origin of clothing and the rise of human body lice by checking so-called molecular clocks found in the cells of all living creatures.

For lurkers unacquainted with the same old same old creationist quote salad tactic:

Quotations and Misquotations, Why What Antievolutionists Quote is Not Valid Evidence Against Evolution.

Like I said, see post #202

"dialecticial materialist calculus". After all, Dialectical materialism asserts a predictability to historical progress which is well-suited to sketching out as a function thru time. If I hadn't blocked out my horrid college calculus classes from my memory, I could probably come up with some plausible-sounding equations to "explain" this inevitable dialectical March of History.

Lyndon LaRouche has the "Riemann-LaRouch equations of economics" Somehow nonEuclidean N-space proves that LaRouche oughta be President.

For lurkers wanting the truth see a few sites that tell it. This thread has been taken over by evolutionists.

Gould's transitions are examples of micro evolution, not Macro.

The specific example he gives is the line of transitional forms between reptiles and mammals. Is that what you call "microevolution"?

Against such a crashing display of ignorance, what difference does it make how many times a person says, "I have a Master's Degree?"

Yes indeed, please go here for ALL of the misinformation you can handle regarding the scientific evidence etc about evolution.

Lies, misquotes from regarded scientists, out and out BS, ignoring of new information, total ignorance of the scientific method. Total and absolutely without a doubt, one of the best sources for antiscience and anitevolution propaganda there is on the web.

If you wish to learn how science is NOT done, go to those websites.

It's fascinating to see.

Ya'll make me sick, god did too, god did not, god couldn't have cause he doesn't exist, does so , does not.......... You're a doody head, but I'm ril smart. Not, so, not, so....

Thank you for making this point. The arguing on these threads is beyond ridiculous. Please continue to check back though, because SOMEDAY we might all start acting like adults. Yes, I am a dreamer...but everyone needs a goal I guess.

I think this is a very interesting article too. It is a bit off topic but does make a good point
"What Holds the Earth Together?"

I can't believe that they can actually fit all of that BS on one site.

That is hilarious and amazing.

Too bad every last bit of it is refutable and been refuted, but that's OK, I love watching you try.

If I were a Fundamentalist and wanted all the propaganda I could handle that would agree with my worldview, I'd go there too. But for the truth about evolution, I'd go to SCIENCE webpages, and SCIENCE journals on the web, NOT a Fundamentalist YEC site. Then again, since when are those fundamentalist YEC sites actually interested in science, right?

Didn't want to take on Craig, huh? Don't blame you. I'm a Christian and I wouldn't want to go up against him either.

Latest news item on tis website is a piece of blatant scientific fraud about radiometric dating. One of the authors of this paper (which claims the earth is 6000 years old) (name of Baumgardner) just co-authored a paper in Science modeling the earth's mantle over the past 150 million years. So much for honesty among creationists.

Goodseedhomeschool was recently banned from FR. Why she is allowed back is a mystery to us all, particularly since she did so initially after concealing her identiity under another username (concisetraveler).

[Aric2000]

Yeah, your right, I'm outta here too.

Have a great night, hope you find what you are looking for.

Reminds me, I may go over there and look for a new 8 ft spin rod. Good idea, I think I will do that, thanks Piltdown!!

[Aric2000]

Give it a rest woman, all I see from you is the same old Recycled and refuted creationist BS.

As I said, I can't take much more of this drivel either, if you guys can't understand science, then just say so and we can ignore you and continue with the discussion at hand.

I'm outta here for the evening, it just got a lot deeper in here, and my waders are outside.

See ya!! Have a great night....

I have never hidden anything. If I were not wanted here, I doubt I would be here don't you think? Maybe you are only trying to change the subject? I think so.

[Right Wing Professor]

Is that what you call "microevolution"?

Well, it's important to be clear about the difference. When the duck-billed platypus developed wings in order to be able to fly from Mount Ararat to Australia, and then lost the wings, all in 4000 years, that's microevolution, and its OK. However, when Archaeopteryx took 100 million years to lose a tail, some teeth and some wing claws, that's macroevolution, and it's impossible,

Clear now?

Oh good. Then you can explain your change of username.
