No more love for Lucy?
Ryan Jaroncyk
For over the last 30 years, the supposedly 3 . 2 Ma old Australopithecus afarensis specimen known as ‘Lucy’ has been boldly proclaimed as the ancestor of all humanity in magazines, television shows, books, newspapers and museums. However, Tel Aviv University anthropologists have published a study casting serious doubt on Lucy’s role as mankind’s ape ancestor.1 Based on a comparative analysis of jaw bones in living and extinct primates, researchers concluded that Lucy and members of her kind should be ‘placed as the beginning of the branch that evolved in parallel to ours.’ In other words, Lucy should no longer be considered to be our direct ancestor. Lucy’s demise falsifies 33 years of evolutionary hyperbole and propaganda...

Liberals have brains fully within the human SIZE range, it is just that they use it less than a hippie uses deodorant.

So Lucy was a sort of phony ape. Does that mean we should change her name to Michelle?

==Please if you want to go after bogus science, go after the fraud of anthropomorphic climate change.
That’s already being handled by Tolerancesucksrocks et al.

If we evolved from apes why are apes still here? If we did and apes are still here where are the human-ape transition creatures?
To: varmintman
You better get your sources out, because Neanderthal genes are found in about 70% of the living population of Europe today.
Your post is complete hogwash.

Because, you are wrong to say we descended from apes. No reputable scientist or researcher has ever said that.
The point is that there was a common ancestor.
Please do some research and get your facts straight.

That’s not an accurate analogy.

“Because, you are wrong to say we descended from apes.”
What then?
“No reputable scientist or researcher has ever said that.”
Of course not!

So... size doesn’t really matter?

If Americans descended from Europeans, why are there still Europeans?
Not even close to the same thing as humans descending from apes. Just because people moved across the water, wouldn’t mean their genetics would change.

And apes are apes. Humans, gorillas and chimps and all apes. Humans and chimps are the two apes closest in DNA.
Monkeys have next to nothing to do with the discussion.

And where is that common ancester now? Conveniently buried somewhere on an African plain someplace.

If the first Christians were Jews, why are there still Jews?

Read the post after yours. Your assumption is wrong.
And if it is not clear enough, I will gladly explain it to you.
