And it further discredits that iconic illustration of human evolution that begins with a knuckle-dragging ape and ends with a briefcase-carrying man..

When was this really ever used by scientists outside teaching kindergartners? This is more like something you'll find in a cartoon or movie. I thought the multiple branch theory has been around for at least 75 years.

It’s is gonna get interesting around here! 1...2...3... go!

Homo erectus reproduced with multiple partners.

This article exemplifies devolution of reason in journalism.

Imagine that. a branching tree rather than a beeline for the one true form. A theory in crisis.

“Surprising research based on two African fossils suggests our family tree is more like a wayward bush with stubby branches, challenging what had been common thinking on how early humans evolved.”

I wonder if this is the first time they’ve noticed that the fossil record has presented problems to Darwin’s fantasy from the beginning. But, they might be forgiven since every time they run into an obvious problem, the evolutionists just create another tale that hasn’t yet been disproved, and therefore can be accepted as fact by those intent on “proving” to themselves that they won’t be facing any final judgment and can therefore live as if there’s no tomorrow.

The two species lived near each other, but probably did not interact, each having its own "ecological niche," Spoor said. Homo habilis was likely more vegetarian while Homo erectus ate some meat, he said. Like chimps and apes, "they'd just avoid each other, they don't feel comfortable in each other's company," he said.

Hard and fast science here, I see.

Homo habilis was likely more vegetarian while Homo erectus ate some meat, he said.

Doesn't eating some meat indicate that most of their diet was vegetarian also? IOW, their diets weren't really much different. They were both omnivores.

"they'd just avoid each other, they don't feel comfortable in each other's company," he said.

I'd like to know how he knows this. Direct observation? I Interviewing them?

Guessing?

[ODDITHER]

The evolutionists like the antiwar crowd and the global warming nuts wont let a little thing like facts get in the way of their religion.

There’s no such thing as fossils.

[shuckmaster]

shows that two species of early human ancestors lived at the same time in Kenya. That pokes holes in the chief theory of man's early evolution — that one of those species evolved from the other.

The only hole being poked is through the credibility of the person who wrote the article. Using that kind of idiot logic, everyone in England should have died the same day America declared independence. How can America evolve from England and there still be English walking around at the same time? It's amazing to ponder how dumb evolution deniers can get.

In the book “The Beak of the Finch”, one species of bird was believed to have evolved from another (I think a small beaked bird gave rise to a species with a larger beak, better able to handle a certain hard seed). Both species coexist, and the numbers of the different birds fluctuates back and forth. They can interbreed, yielding a range of offspring with varying beak size.

Why does the possibility of two different human species on Earth at the same time disprove “evolution”?

[the OlLine Rebel]

Interesting.

Waiting for the (somewhat off-topic) fireworks to start!

[Paradox]

Somewhere buried in this article, there must be information about where these scientists converted to ID/Creationsts, somewhere.

There remains some still-undiscovered common ancestor that probably lived 2 million to 3 million years ago, a time that has not left much fossil record, Spoor said.

Well that's convenient. Posit that there must be an ancestor, but make it clear that it's going to be hard to find.

"The more we know, the more complex the story gets," he said. Scientists used to think Homo sapiens evolved from Neanderthals, he said. But now we know that both species lived during the same time period and that we did not come from Neanderthals. Now a similar discovery applies further back in time.

Reminds me of a dike that's springing leaks all over the place. Evolutionists keep trying to plug them up but they keep running out of fingers.

The two species lived near each other, but probably did not interact, each having its own "ecological niche," Spoor said.

This is an implausible statement even with "probably" as a qualifier. Wildebeast and lion each has its own "ecological nich," yet certainly interact.

[gdani]

This finding is hardly a surprise.

After all, it's uncontested that Eve was made from Adam's rib. And we still have ribs, don't we? DUH!

Chimps are apes, but the journo gets points for trying.

Article: Difference in size between males and females seem to be related to monogamy, the researchers said. Primates that have same-sized males and females, such as gibbons, tend to be more monogamous. Species that are not monogamous, such as gorillas and baboons, have much bigger males.

So if I get big and fat, can I get lots of petite little wives?

TM: Exactly! These fools will do whatever they have to, including believing in something like evolution which there are no FACTS for to avoid facing real truth of the Bible, because the evolution religion doesn’t have morals. Gays, lesbians and other deviants are what keep this junk in our schools.

Exactly! The Gay-Lesbian-Deviant Alliance has been plotting for years to teach evolution to our schoolchildren. Why, they just recently awarded the GLDA Medal of Onner to Hizzonner JEJIII.
