'Humans evolved after a female chimpanzee mated with a pig
Daily Mail ^ | 09:45 GMT, 30 November 2013 | By DAMIEN GAYLE

Posted on 11/30/2013 3:12:24 AM PST by Eurotwit

The human species began as the hybrid offspring of a male pig and a female chimpanzee, a leading geneticist has suggested. The startling claim has been made by Eugene McCarthy, of the University of Georgia, who is also one of the worlds leading authorities on hybridisation in animals. He points out that while humans have many features in common with chimps, we also have a large number of distinguishing characteristics not found in any other primates.

Dr McCarthy says these divergent characteristics are most likely the result of a hybrid origin at some point far back in human evolutionary history. What's more, he suggests, there is one animal that has all of the traits which distinguish humans from our primate cousins in the animal kingdom. 'What is this other animal that has all these traits?' he asks rhetorically. 'The answer is Sus scrofa, the ordinary pig.' Dr McCarthy elaborates his astonishing hypothesis in an article on Macroevolution.net, a website he curates. He is at pains to point out that that it is merely a hypothesis, but he presents compelling evidence to support it.

These “scientists” are unable to determine “WHEN” life begins (in the womb), and there are BILLIONS of observed births.

Well, not exactly.

Humans share 40-50% DNA with bananas. I doubt anyone is going to try and claim we descended from a bunch of fruit.

Then again, you never know.

Not my area of expertise (when life begins) so I just fall back to viable life begins when a fertilized egg(s) attaches to the uterus wall. I don’t think anyone can argue that at that point you do not have a healthy growing embryo.

Which means either he has some reaso. To suggest it or his credentials aren’t worth the paper their written on.

Also msans you were incorrect when you said this wasn’t science.

That is not exactly true. The fact is the maker used the same general plan on all species, instead of re-inventing the wheel, so to speak, each time he made a new species. We have more in common with some fruits than we do with pigs.

I think of that scripture almost daily now. It’s one of my favourites.

It's not a happy thought.

Fruits are not animals. My last word on this topic.

"Fruits are not animals."

Thanks for pointing that out; it had escaped me.

To believe human beings are descended from either animals or fruit is equally silly, IMO.

Have a good Saturday.
