Man did not descend from apes according to science. -me-

What would the common ancestor of the chimpanzee and Australopithecus have looked like?

Changing the subject when proven wrong. Science does not have the missing link even of that. However, since evolution is a model which can predict how everything evolved, suppose you tell us. Let your imagination go wild since science does not have an answer for that. However, asking questions you know the answer to and which you know very well the proof is easily found is quite a bore. Here enjoy being proven wrong again:

The emergence of hominids came from a common ancestor of extant apes and humans from approximately 6-7 mya. FROM:  Archeology Info

These cranial and post-cranial fragments show direct evidence for bipedalism at 6 million years ago! This is somewhere very close to the molecularly-derived date for human-chimp divergence.
FROM: Science in Africa

Humans are primates . Physical and genetic similarities show that the modern human species, Homo sapiens, has a very close relationship to another group of primate species, the apes . Humans and the so-called great apes (large apes) of Africa—chimpanzees (including bonobos, or so-called pygmy chimpanzees) and gorillas —share a common ancestor that lived between 8 million and 5 million years ago. Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The fossils of early humans who lived between 5 million and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa.

Has science disproven or not disproven that humans came from apes? Showing a range of values in the literature for the time of divergence does nothing to help your point. An uncertainty in the divergence date is not a disproof that the common ancestor was an ape. What is the source for your bizarre claim? You spew this stuff and then run rather than defend.

What is the source for the following interesting quote?

BTW - evos were trying to pass off the hippo as the ancestor of the whale, but they ran into a little trouble - DNA. The DNA proved conclusively that whales did not descend from hippos.

From here.

The same claim was repeated later:

BTW - this discussion is of course purely for amusement since DNA evidence has already shown that whales are not related to hippos as evolutionists have claimed using "evidence" similar to the one presented by you and other evolutionists in this discussion.

That was here, to me.

I noticed here that you were simply ignoring further questions.

You've had funny blinders on ever since.

You have been asked for a source of your claim that science has eliminated apes as an ancestor of humans. Your links do not help you with this at all.
