Its been a while, so lets see some of the vast storehouse of evidence for evolution. (And this is just a fossil; the genetics folks have this beat six ways from Sunday.)



Herto skulls (Homo sapiens idaltu)

Some new fossils from Herto in Ethiopia, are the oldest known modern human fossils, at 160,000 yrs. The discoverers have assigned them to a new subspecies, Homo sapiens idaltu, and say that they are anatomically and chronologically intermediate between older archaic humans and more recent fully modern humans. Their age and anatomy is cited as strong evidence for the emergence of modern humans from Africa, and against the multiregional theory which argues that modern humans evolved in many places around the world.

I find it fascinating that even though evolution has been around for 140 years, pretty much dominating the liberal intelligentsia, including academia and the mainstream media during the 20th century, most of the larger population still don't accept it. That may partly explain why ID caught on so fast, capturing the hearts and the imagination of so many. Frankly, why would anybody want to believe one's existence was an accidental, meaningless blob of cells doomed to ignominious extinction? Get a life.
