Fossil skull fuels debate over human origin

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.

Where do you fit into the above 100%?

I got a cutting torch--TRUTH--escaped the cave--show!

Ah, sorry. I missed this sentence, such as it is. So, you escaped the cave show by knowing the TRUTH? What truth is that exactly?

Guess the skull is just a figment of imagination?
Non-existant means it doesn't exsist...if they have a skull, it exsists.

Fossil skull fuels debate...

I guess "Fossil fuels" do contribute to global warming, with all the additional hot air the numb skulls will banter around.

I may be wrong, but I believe she posted that way in response to f.Christian's distinctive yet somewhat confusing posting style...

His posts remind me of a poet e.e.cummings. Used to type only in lower case, and used odd line structure.

"We see here our Noah building His wondrous ark for the salvation of His household. We see its beginning, middle, and end. We see its different parts, external and internal; each plank as it is laid, each nail as it is driven in. Its form is perfect; its structure in all details is complete; its strength and stability are altogether divine. Yet with what labour and amid what mockings is this ark constructed! Amid what strong crying and tears, what blood and agony, is it completed! Thus, however, we are assured of its... perfection---and security. Through the deep waters of this evil world it floats in peace. No storm can overset it, no billow break it, nor so much as loosen one of its planks. They who have fled to it as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest, are everlastingly safe."

[RoughDobermann]

Glad that you brought up Noah and his floating menagerie...

I assume that you acknowledge that critters such as Homo Erectus, Australopithecines, etc. did, in fact, exist? If so, were they passengers on the ark in your opinion?

A modest merit pay increase no doubt forthcoming following annual performance review.

I'm more curious about species not native to the Middle East/Northern Africa, myself. Did Noah have kangaroos? Polar bears? Rattlesnakes? Penguins? And, of course, did he have mooses?

Talk about an alien invasion---takeover...

"Were it not for the existence of sin in the world, says Calvin, human beings would believe in God to the same degree and with the same natural spontaneity displayed in our belief in the existence of other persons, or an external world, or the past. This is the natural human condition; it is because of our presently... unnatural---sinful condition that many of us find belief in God difficult or absurd. The fact is, Calvin thinks, one who does not believe in God is in an epistemically defective position-rather like someone who does not believe that his wife exists, or thinks that she is a cleverly constructed robot that has no thoughts, feelings, or consciousness."

You're only normal--healthy if your certified--trained by the zombies!

Janet Reno is the prototype--model!

Public religion--state education is a mind-soul lobotomy mill---farm for freaks of evolution--"nature"!

mosquitoes and yellow-jackets, too.

Don't ask why they weren't specificly mentioned in the EIS.

If you would be so kind, I'd really like you to coherently answer the question I asked in post 52. Thanks.
