No I am not being dense, you are being insulting and dishonest. In post 1278 I said:
"Swisher said the Erectus have never been shown to have developed water transportation. But the more advanced Sapien built boats and probably arrived in Java about 40,000 years ago.
This means that Sapien and Erectus hominids shared that island for hundreds of generations, said Anton, and suggests that the arrival of modern humans led to the demise of the primitive forms." -your article-
How this man has not been kicked out of the scientific community is something to be wondered at. Clearly, the only reason he even keeps his job is because he is a whore of evolution.
How could homo sapiens have been the descendant of homo erectus when the two species met only after homo sapiens was around? Did you read this through Junior? Did you bother to analyze what was being said here? Or do you just throw stuff out hoping that no one will notice how silly it is?

If homo sapiens first met erectus after homo sapiens was already around as your phony "proof" states then Erectus could not have been the ancestor of homo sapiens. If you wish to deny this you will clearly prove yourself too stupid and too dishonest to engage in rational discussion (which may be since you posted such an imbecility as proof of man descending from Erectus).
"First met?" Is that the gimmick?
You are making a painful point of being stupid here. You've been on these threads for some months, perhaps a year. Models of speciation have been explained to you. Punk Eek has been explained to you. Turn off the machine and go think about what you're doing.
Nobody's going to change the school currriculum based upon the mixture of illogic and dishonesty you're using above.
Secondly, you're citing poetic license on the part of the author as proof that Homo Sapiens did not descend from Homo Erectus (which is proof that either you don't understand what you read or you purposefully twist the words -- lie -- to make them sound palatable. Have you asked God if it's all right for you to lie, especially after He specifically said not to?). Homo Erectus arose in Africa a little over one-and-a-half million years ago and spread throughout the northern part of that continent and southern and southeastern Asia. After they'd been around for awhile (about a half million years ago, or so), one group of H. Erectus evolved into Neanderthals. These displaced their ancestors in the Near East and spread to Europe where they were the dominant species. H. Erectus was still around in southern and southeast Asia, though. Then, a couple of hundred thousand years ago a new species of human , H. Sapien, arose from an isolated East African population of H. Erectus (isolation is a wonderful evolutionary catalyst). It eventually spread to Europe, displacing the H. Neanderthalensis there; plus H. Sapien spread to Asia, displacing the H. Erectus populations there. About 50,000 years ago (one researcher says 27,000, but I've only found the one reference to that date) the last remnant population of H. Erectus shuffled off this mortal coil.
Now do you understand, or will you be willfully ignorant, or twist my words so that you can prove your faith to God? You must be one of those Christians who believe the 10 Commandments no longer apply to you because you're special.
