Hobit Dwarf Caveman

[discipler]

Professor Richard Roberts points to an artist impression of a hobbit-like dwarf, the astonishing discovery that could rewrite the history of human evolution, in Sydney, Australia, Oct. 28, 2004. A 3-foot-tall adult female skeleton found in a cave on a remote Indonesian island is believed 18,000 years old and smashes the long-cherished scientific belief that our species, Homo sapiens, systematically crowded out other upright-walking human cousins beginning 160,000 years ago.(AP Photo/Rob Griffith)

Wow! Using powerful scanning devices look at what the artist was able to illustrate! Look how wise and thoughtful the little fella appears! Wow, wow, and triple wow: impressive as any Globe story! This discovery COULD (they say could, but then, maybe not) rewrite evolution thought. I follow the news pretty closely and evolution theory is pretty flexible, able to withstand any and all data to the contrary. Wow! If there weren't little men on earth today who have features similar to this, I might be inclined to believe this load of Kaka! Wow!

Gee whiz, there were "little men" all over the place along the Western coasts of Europe who were "encountered" by larger, taller people moving in from further East.

Our folktales are filled with the news.

For the most part, however, the remaining skeletons reveal them to be essentially the same as the folks known as the Kung!. It would appear they had a far larger range in the past than they do these days in Southern Africa.

No reason this little guy couldn't look wise.

Exactly, which is why we take all such with a grain of salt.

Did it have a tail?

[shekkian]

Yeah, okay... I guess today's midgets are this chick's descendants.

Scratched on the cave walls were the words: THE PLANE! THE PLANE!!

Back in those time, a popular Song was:

"You're getting to be a hobit with me."

"rewrite the history of human evolution"
I'm confused. I thought "science" had already figured this out, that evolution was a "fact". How can facts change? I guess I'm just too dumb to figure this out.

No. You just probably forgot to pay your bill for your subscription to "Scientific Facts" which lists what scientific laws have been changed in the last month to accommodate desired results.

Did she have a flat head?

[Corin Stormhands]

FWIW it's Hobbit.

I am always amused at the way these headlines consistantly state something as a fact, "Proof of evolution, ..." and then when you read the same articles they use terms like, "is believed to be.." and "may have.."

I almost never read the evolution threads posted here at FR because so many of the posters ignore what the articles actually say and jump to the conclusions of the headlines and the writer's personal opinion.

If the evidence they produce was submitted in court, and they were never able to revise their "evidence" everytime they are proven false, it would be laughed at as the pile of assumptions and hypotheses they are.

Migawd, you're right!

[KeepUSfree]

You'll get no arguments from me on THAT point!

Looks like Drudge spelled it wrong in his title.

Looks like Drudge spelled it wrong in his title.

So he did. And it's correct in the article he linked to.

You know, everytime I see one of those artists renditions of what the 'so-called' caveman or missing link which they somehow are miraculously able to create from their vast imaginations using probably a small fraction of fossils(an amazingly the depiction always looks like a monkey), It just reminds me how big a crock evolution is.
