"If this animal was still alive today it would be the central attraction at the zoo," Tab Rasmussen, a paleontologist at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri who worked on the project, said in a statement.

I'll bet...

"It continues to amaze me that we don't have more from this interval of time. We are talking about an enormous continent." said Kappelman...."

This should give some clues, about all those missing "links", but oh well, guess they will have wait til they meet up with old Darwin to find the answers.

The Aarsinoithere was a wonderful creature...though somewhat flatulent (but nobody cared), and extremely delicious to eat, tasting something like a cross between barbecued short-ribs, and a creamsicle.

It evolved into the Gnat, which is presently to be found loose in most zoos (but nobody cares).

"We show that some of these very primitive forms continue to live through the missing years, and then during that period as well, some new forms evolved -- these would be the ancestors of modern elephants,"

Say what? Guess they weren't all "missing" if some "continue to live" through these years. And is this saying that some elephant "ancestors" stayed the same, while some were evolving? I'm not current on the latest evolutionary theories, they um, evolve so often...

I did find some links to John Kappelman, and this site he was involved with is very interesting, it has extensive bone comparisons of humans, gorillas, and baboons. Most bones have pretty big differences, but I was shocked at how similar the "proximal pedal phalanx 1" bones of a human and a gorilla were. They are so similar, in fact, that they are photographs of the very same bone, lol! See for yourself (click on "comparitive anatomy" at bottom of the site, then choose "human" and "gorilla" and then the bone):

The site has not been updated in a couple of years, and I guess no one noticed this error.

The arsinotheres are one of the most intriguing puzzles in mammal evolution; although they apparently related to the same branch of mammals as elephants, manatees, aardvarks and hyraxes, HOW they are related to them remains a mystery. Here's a pic:

"We show that some of these very primitive forms continue to live through the missing years, and then during that period as well, some new forms EVOLVED..." said Dr. John Kappelman

The supposition of evolution is being used to prove evolution??? Doesn't he mean "some new forms appear in the fossil record"?

Carl Sagan is in Hell right now trying to convince Satan that Evolution is a "Fact".

[MEGoody]

Gee, we found some fossils. How exciting!! How can we force this into our predetermined theory?

Yep, that's about how it went out at the dig.

had two huge bony horns on its snout

I thought the rino had matted hair, not horns ...

Anybody who believes that humans evolved from lower life forms has the intelligence of primordial swamp clay.

Not a ping, just a GGG update. If anyone ever gets to page four (or 50+ for those on 20 messages per page), they may see this. :') Just remember, I didn't start, or participate in, the debate. Thanks.
