Darwin, Lucy and the Quest for Human Origins

[klamath1016]

Had to inject polititics into this. Perhaps you should have put Obama's picture there who seems to be as cluless as anyone that has held the office. One can honestly argue has a more stiking resemblance to the apes, just look at those ears.

europeas find bones (always in africa). apply a fancy latin name to them, draw a picture or model of what they asume it looked like, and call it evolution. the neanderthal (european) was extinct but the dna magically reappeared in the majority of the people on the planet most likely due to slavery and colonization. you do not come from africans evolution is bullshit. study your own bones

@wookyz1 hahahaha....you would know im sure, lol

[wookyz1]

@BadLilNinja yes im certain you dont come from africans hahahaha (kinda goofy)

Are homosapiens are direct descendants of Australopithecus?

[TheBardicDruid]

@AscendingParadigm Do you want the list or just an answer??? The answer is yes, both with fossils and genetically.

The creationist rubbish known as icons of evolution has been thoroughly debunked for the complete and utter nonsense it is. Only a deluded fundie could possibly believe that hogwash. Evolution is a fact. And its the most wonderful discovery in human history. I love evolution. There are mountains of evidence, thousands of transitional fossils, and the bible has absolutely nothing except the incoherant mumblings of a few ignorant shepherds.

@tnafguy 1. The shape of the pelvis was anatomically impossible, it was *restored*. 2. There are many more than 1 Afarensis specimen 3. The pieces of skull dictated the shape, not the paleontologists. There is a complete skull, watch the video before commenting.

My dear evolutionists..I am one too ....and I want to point out that in the 12th Century ,a persian thinker by the name of 'Rumi' had clearly explained human evolution starting from just mere chemical elements ..Darwin was not the first..just like Columbus was not the first discoverer of america.

@sajidullah Sources please, I'd don't believe a thing without evidence.

Why are so called intelligent people so stupid? Lucy had no hands or feet yet they gave her human hands and feet. She had no facial bones yet they have her an ape face. Why? Why not the other way around?

You know the reason don't you - just admit you don't like the alternative.

It seems people so desperately want to believe something that is improvable. Why?

Remember the Coelacanth? That was an embarassment for evolutionists at the time because they said it was our ancestor.

[siegemos]

@daggyz1959 What sort of hands and feet do you think they should have given her?

What is the alternative you're speaking of?

In the early 1900s they though the Coelacanth might have been an ancestor yes, then conflicting evidence turned up and the theory was disproved and everybody accepted that. That's how science works, we form theories and then try and disprove them. Hardly an embarrassment and hardly an example of evolutionists desperately wanting to believe something unprovable.

@daggyz1959 You make it very apparent that you've never studied paleontology or archeology, I'd even say you've never went beyond high school biology. Your lack of knowledge is glaring to say the least.
