Yes, pics of drawings...

These are from the talkorigins website (Left is the "turkana boy" and left is another drawing of a homo sapiens.)

Wonder why they do a comparison next to a "typical" european type skull. Compare the "turkana boy" skul to the human head shape (actual photo) in the bottom left corner.

Humans come in a wonderful variety of shapes and sizes, and the skull is no different. The consensus of what is a "typical" homo sapiens skull is often presented when comparing man's so called ancestors, however, if one does a little research into skull shapes, you will find that the shapes vary greatly! This is the best that National Geographic's scientist can come up with? I am FAR from convinced! SCIENCE!!!

Just more leftarded racism and hate. They don't think the "turkana boy" is human, that's the fact.

All of those humans in the photos show typical Homo sapiens traits - high forehead, distinctive chins, low brow ridges, etc - that are not present in the skull you show. A grapefruit is not an orange just because there are a large variety of oranges.

I used to have a photo comparison of an ancient fossil skull and a painting of Mozart.

The skulls matched.

Walk around and look at people. You will see all sorts of skull types.
I have seen several living people who looked like they could have posed for the NGO paintings of “extinct” ape men.

Bingo- There was even a case of a ‘neanderthal’ woman who lived in russia, mated, had a kid- people were convinced she was a neandethal (she was captured in the wild, and looked quite odd) Her son was tall, big boned and had the same ‘neanderthal features’- But when the skull was later examined, it was shown that the mother was simply a woman who suffered some bizzarre disease which deformed her skull. Can you imagine IF the skull had been found, and noone knew this woman actually lived in recent times? It would immediately become a ‘missing link’ because hte shape of hte skull was so different from ‘normal’ modern skulls.

Yes, as you stated- a quick look at hte variety of skulls of modern people does infact hsow a GREAT variety, and a look at diseases which deform skulls shows very clearly that they result in a great variety of shapes. But nope nope nope- since the skulls presented as ‘missing links’ were found to be ‘ancient’- they must have been ‘transitions’, and couldn’t possibly have suffered any diseases, because, as we know, medical superiority was much much greater in ancient times than it is today, and hterefore, there couldn’t have been any deformities!
