New descriptions of Australopithecus sediba fossils have added to debates about the species' place in the human lineage. Five papers published today in Science describe the skull, pelvis, hands and feet of the ancient hominin unearthed three years ago in South Africa.
The papers reveal a curious mix of traits, some found in apes and earlier Australopithecus fossils, and others thought to be unique to Homo erectus--the tall, thin-boned hominin that emerged around 2 million years ago in eastern Africa and colonized Europe and Asia--and its descendants, including modern humans.

Annunaki!
Prepare for:
“It is just a theory” (ignorance on what a Scientific Theory is)
“Where did everything come from?” (conflation of abiogenesis with TToE)
“That ain’t what Bible Says says” (YEC, what can you say but you can ask which version of Genesis)
I now withdraw to watch the fun.
I was YEC but now I’m found.
Darwin was a racist. And a homophobe.
and Anti-Semitic.
Doesn't "TToE" require abiogenesis in order to begin operating?
TToE necessarily presumes that huge leap of faith with respect to the origin of life.
But that’s irrelevant to the facts.
Genesis 1:1
correct. On this thread.
That puts them back in the game..
Darwin a Jew-hater? Where does THAT come from?
Darwin was a zealous advocate of the extinction of species (see Chapter Fourteen of The Darwin Papers) and of the extermination of certain races of man, and were he alive today he would be beating the drum to the clubbing of the baby harp seals in Alaska. He was no mere impartial observer of nature. And he left his stamp on the National Socialist and Marxist totalitarian dictatorships that led to the deaths of millions of people in the twentienth century in the name of evolutionary “social progress”.
That’s a common misunderstanding. On their long voyages on the HMS Beagle, the crew was required to eat or drink limes in order to prevent scurvy.
Chuck just got tired of lime juice. One day a porter tried to hand him his daily ration and said to him, “Here ya go, guvnah.”
And Darwin, tired from drawing lizards and bugs all day replied,
“No thank you. I have come to hate juice.”
The porter took this back to the rest of the crew and they were all fibberjawed and flabbergasted.
This can be found in his book at page 3,120. He went to Queen Victoria and explained the misunderstanding, and she patted his hand and said,
“Tut tut old man. We all hate Jews.”
“It is no valid objection that science as yet throws no light on the far higher problem of the essence or origin of life” (Darwin, Charles. The Origin of Species. 6th edition, 1882. p. 421).
I always wondered.... if we evolved from apes how come there are still apes?
We don’t club Harp seals in Alaska. We like the music.
Especially when they play the blues.
Is it still not a valid objection now, 130 years later?
Darwin asserting something doesn't make it true.
Abiogenesis remains a huge leap of faith for scientists, and it is an absolutely essential presumption in order for evolutionary processes to ever occur.
I just find that ironic.
