Most anthropologists believe that Homo erectus -- the species that is said to bear the first recognizable human characteristics -- emerged nearly 2 million years ago in Africa and spread across several continents to serve as an ancestor to modern man, or Homo sapiens.

The incompleteness of data sets is only a problem for evolution because practically anything is a disproof of evolution. When I misuse a word it's disproof of evolution. That I'm not tallhappy is . . . Never mind!
Also, hillsides, once they are formed, can do nothing but erode. We basically know there were dinosaurs in the Appalachians; they were all over the place around them and there was nothing to keep them out.
But the youngest sediments you can find are Permian and not many that young. Even if a mountain is growing from tectonic forces, that only means that it's being pushed up from below faster than it's wearing away from above.
Strange.
This must be awfully unlikely.
UC Berkeley/Paleoanthropologists find oldest human ancestor in Ethiopia
"The expectation was that we would find hominids in savanna grassland sites that date back to about eight million years ago," Ambrose said. "That hasn't happened. All older hominids have been found in forested environments."
Oh when the imps...go marching in.....toot toot
lol, haha, something actually quite funny :D
Could you point out the mountain climbing dinos for me?
Why would a mountain-climbing dino leave a fossil in Permian sediments? Hello?
You are the one that used the "know" word.
But you can't prove it with fossils.
I take it then the conclusion to be drawn is that chimps and ancestors of such avoid volcanoes and wet areas.
What do you think of the shared genetic defect that prevents vitamin C formation in people and chimps? Doesn't that show common acnestry of chimps and people?
Like I say, Volkswagons and Porsches had many parts in common for years and years. All the thing you mention shows is that whoever engineered humans was not working in a vacuum. Volkswagons and Porsches are artifacts of our own engineering talents. Humans and chimps are artifacts of the engineering talents of somebody or something which was doing some serious engineering, some thousands of years ago.
First of all, it is not a skull, it is half a skull. To posit that from this half skull we can "prove" not only that this is a man, but that it was our ancestor, not only that it was our ancestor, but that it proves the truth of evolution, not only that but that it proves that the Bible is not true, not just that, but that it proves the entire atheistic theory of life, the universe and everything - is pure hogwash. The extravagance of the claims made by evolutionists on the minutest of evidence render the whole theory a joke and amply prove that there is nothing scientific about evolution.
But I know the difference - A) real French horns haven't had piston valves in nearly sixty years, and; B) real French horns are much more twisty, and, worst of ALL; C) that picture looks suspiciously like you're using a TRUMPET mouthpiece. Sacrilege! Blasphemy! Good lord, girl - run, don't walk, down to your local music store and demand an adapter so that you can use a REAL horn player's mouthpiece! ;)
LOL! No, I usually use a french horn mouthpiece for that thing, but that night i used a trumpet mouthpiece cos i left my horn mouthpiece in my concert horn case. y'know. or heck, that might have been my horn mouthpiece....hm....oh well.
