Lice offer clues to origin of clothing

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

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.

I'd take him on, but it would be a waste of time and I would upset some of my Christian friends, and it would not effect you in the slightest, so why should I bother.

You are clueless as to what you speak, because you wish to be, you read and suck in that which agrees with you, and ignore that which does not.

This is called willful ignorance, through the closemindedness of religious zealotry.

I know better then to try and break down that kind of brainwashing.

But the earth is only 6-10,000 years old RWP, all of the creationist scientists say that it's true.

I mean look at ALL OF THOSE websites that say that, since so many say it, it must be true, right?

And the platypus is supposed to mess up evolution, NOT the flood story, how dare you use that against creationists, that's their weapon, remember? It is supposed to be the end all be all of evolutionary theory, because it is impossible to explain, see, it says it right here on AIG. THe Platypus has never been satisfactorily explained, I don't care if they keep moving the goalposts, it has not been explained.

So there....

Now that's Christian of her now isn't it?

Threatening you with Physical violence, isn't that fascinating?

THe true telling of when someone is afraid to give you a straight answer, they threaten to hurt you.

My oh my, how very telling.

I thought you was hi-tech!
Seems that was just a lie!
Said you was hi-tech.
Yeah! That was just a lie!
You don't need batteries;
I don't see how you get by.

Just kidding! Pick me up an astrolabe, Babe!

[goodseedhomeschool (returned)]

Are you insulting our military men? NOW THAT IS VERY TELLING.

[Aracelis]

You don't need batteries;
I don't see how you get by.

Nope, no batteries needed, just ask...oh never mind! :^D

I'll freep you with the address where you can get an astrolabe.

[Aric2000]

You take that as an insult?

Now that is telling?

I was in the Army for 4 years there GSHS, and I have adopted 2 marine families whose fathers are in Iraq.

You tell me....

my oh my, we are touchy aren't we?

Are you sure this page isn't a joke? I mean, the 'physics' looks like a put-on, and Dr. Hal E. Putoff is surely a maufactured name, like Lambert Dolphin (maybe a second cousin to Hugh G. Rection).

It is so amazing at how dense some of these sharpies are here. My Dear Hubby would love to post but since other s/n that he has used is now gone, oh well. Here, I'll let him speak now.

To whom it may concern GET A LIFE!

[Aric2000]

There are some nice fishing rods on there, I hope I get the one I just bid on, it's cheap, less then $10.

Works for me!! LOL

[Aric2000]

And that battery thing, please, let's not go there....

Thanks ;)

[goodseedhomeschool (returned)]

Would it really matter what any Christian here posted to you. Do you somehow think evos have cornered the market on theory and that they are the only acceptable ones? Since your theories change so very often, however do you keep up. Evolution theories change as often as you brush your teeth. The only bias you have is your own blinders. Too bad and goodby
One thing that never changes here is you evos trying to punch God in the face.

[Aracelis]

And that battery thing, please, let's not go there....

Well, if it would help to stop the current BS on this thread, I'm ready to discuss batteries...

[Aracelis]

I hope I get the one I just bid on

You need to snipe anything you really want...

[Aric2000]

One thing that never changes is fundamentalists trying to tell god how to think.

I find that VERY amusing.

And most of us are theistic, just not fundamentalists like you.


THe 2 are separate, one takes evidence, builds a hypothesis to explain that evidence, and then peer reviews it until it is either tossed out, or turned into a theory.

Religion on the other hand takes faith, you have to have FAITH that it is the truth, because you have NO evidence that it is the truth.

We understand that science is NOT religion and religion is not science.

Something that most fundamentalists just can't seem to fathom.

[Right Wing Professor]

maybe you should talk to this 210 pound ex-army ranger BLACK BERET sitting next to me. Maybe he can SPELL it out to you.

Threat of violence reported to Admin Moderator. BTW, my address is avalable on my profile, in case you think 'my live-in will beat you up' scares me. Second time, BTW, a 'Christian' has threatened me on FR with assault.

[goodseedhomeschool (returned)]

Why don't you go fishing in another hole, this one is dry and bored. Bu-bye.

[goodseedhomeschool (returned)]

Idiot. SPell out?? YOu really are dense. No what you are is trying to eliminate Christians. Why not just admit it and come clean. Can you spell baiter?

[goodseedhomeschool (returned)]

Looks like my army husband here is now being called a threat because he stated an obvious fact about s/n's and spelling. Ya gotta love these evos.
