Toumai was a vulgar ape, according to critics, but they didn't quote any of his language, because children might read this report.

Does this mean Helen Thomas has lost her claim to the title of oldest hominid?

For mentioning her name, you must suffer.

No evolution....just another species that died out.

“If Toumai is truly an early human, that means that the evolutionary split between apes and humans occurred far earlier than previously thought”

You mean God’s creation of man occurred far earlier than thought.

Looks like an ape to me. Amazing how they can project all this stuff on the remnants of a few dry bones........

Toumai -- the name means "hope of life" in the local Goran language

An early Obama - Gore supporter, obviously.......

In short, they said, Toumai had no right to be baptised with French researcher Michel Brunet's hominid honorific of Sahelanthropus tchadensis -- he was simply a vulgar ape.

I find it curious that they choose the word 'baptised' here. Why do not not just say 'named'?

I just checked to see if Rosetta Stone offers Goran. But they do not.

Just curious... what imbecile, sometime in the past, suggested to Helen that lipstick would be an improvement?
