It probably WAS a chimp. I don't have too much faith in what these so called scientists find. They've been wrong before.

Never accust Reuters of being careful with the facts. I'm suprised they didn't say Dubya killed him.

It seems like every time they find fossils of some new two-legged species, they immediately assume that we are direct descendants.

I see. You must have information they don't have, then, I suppose. You've examined these remains and, in your expert judgment, have decided they are chimps. Is that correct?

Phooey! Anyone who studies primates can tell the difference between a chimp's bones and of a hominid's bones. I could even do it, and I'm not even in that field.

If you have a reason for thinking these are chimps, let's hear it. If you're just blowing smoke, well, never mind.

So, you're saying that folks who've spent their entire adult lives studying comparative anatomy, anthropology and paleontology are incapable of telling a chimp skull from that of H. Erectus? It must be wonderful being oh, so much smarter than them damn eggheads what uses all them fancy words and such.
