TITLE :
Fossils May Look Like Human Bones: Biological Anthropologists Question Claims for Human Ancestry
Science Daily’s coverage of the Nature article included a picture of an orangutan as an instance of false identification of human ancestry. “Ramapithecus, a species of fossil ape from south Asia, was mistakenly assumed to be an early human ancestor in the 1960s and 1970s, but later found to be a close relative of the orangutan.” A mistake like that could certainly not be made today...or could it?
The debunkers do not question human evolution itself, but their own more “nuanced explanation” requires believing that sister groups acquired human-like characteristics in parallel.
From the article:
“The authors suggest there are a number of potential interpretations of these fossils and that being a human ancestor is by no means the simplest, or most parsimonious explanation.”
That would seem to leave a lot of room for speculation, to say nothing of upsetting textbook explanations that have been like gospel truth for decades.
Obligatory fossil image.
That’s not an ancestor or a cousin. That’s an alien life form.
Gee, not wanting to just assume everything theorized is fact ? Wow, it’s starting to almost sound scientific...
And who would have thought that Woody Harrelson could come up with this ?

Show me a fossil. Any fossil. Any animal. Any age. I will make the above statement about it, and I will be 100% correct.
Evolution is junk science, at the level of global warming.
Somewhere, something went terribly wrong.
ht looks like a chimp to me
Sadly, what they share in common is that both disciplines are so overrun by ideologues that it's hard to take many of their arguments seriously.
I love the conundrum of how many humans have been born and lived on the earth - by some estimates 106 billion. Which begs the question; where are all their bones????

To authentically represent evolution - homo sapiens on the chair should weigh in at 400 pounds;)

Where are your great-great-great-grandparents’ bones? That’s 32 full skeletons’ worth of bones.
The truth about "Lucy", and it does not resemble any of the claims by evolutionites.
Anybody wishing to be on the anti-evolution ping list should contact me via freepmail.
What? No bones? Obviously my great-great-great-grandparents did not exist, even if I know their purported identity.
As the great David Byrne said: “And you may ask yourself - ‘Well, how did I get here?’”
“Evolution is junk science, at the level of global warming”
Oh really?
So I guess you’ve got some “creation science” to back up this conclusion? THAT is where you’ll find “junk science” in abundance.
