Here is some context for the age of the new primate fossil: Anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens) first emerged about 200,000 years ago, but early humans such as Australopithecus afarensis and Australopithecus anamensis reach back 3 million to 4 million years ago or even earlier. Humans are thought to have split off from a group that includes chimpanzees and gorillas about 6 million years ago. And a group that includes all the great apes (including us) and Old World monkeys (called simians or anthropoids) diverged from New World monkeys in the Eocene, just after the time of Ida. So our primate roots reach back to this time.

@rockthecityatnight You are a fool of the lowest order. Evolution is real, Genesis is a lie. There was no Adam and Eve, talking snake or Original Sin. Man Evolved! You are not born into sin. What a stupid concept! It is brainwashed scum like you that keeps the ancient delusions alive. It is a crime against humanity to teach religion to children. You are a victim of that crime. You have gone from victim to perpetrator. The delusion gets passed down through the generations. You fool!

@IloveYOUviruses : From you what you wrote, I can easily see you are totally ignorant on the subject, and possibly deluded by the old fairy tale ;-)Ergo, end of discussion. Make sure not to drown in your own ignorance.

@birdson222 Well, just off the top of my head, Proconsul africanus, Afropithecus turkanensis, Turkanapithecus kalakolensis, Sivapithecus indicus, hecus bambolii, Lufengpithecus lufengensis, Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Orrorin tugenensis, Ardipithecus ramidus, Australopithecus afarensis, Kenyanthropus platyops, Australopithecus afarensis, Australopithecus bahrelghazali, lopithecus africanus, Paranthropus aethiopicus, Homo Erectus and Homo Habilis spring to mind. There are more of course.

Wow, the inbred fuckwits can read! They don't know how to spell just yet, but some of them can actually read. Of course they don't understand science yet, but maybe one day they will understand that too!:)

Hahaha!!! Nice lemur. What bullshit.

[birdson222]

Like the video said, the fossil only has CHARACTERISTICS of a human or an ape. There has NEVER been a half human, half ape transitional fossil, and there never will be. If Evolution was really true, then we should be finding hundreds of half human or half ape transitional forms.

thats definitely not my grandma... scientists are sometimes crazy

[anythingnew]

That skeleton looks more like a dinosaur or something

AHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHA There goes the supposed bullshit they call "Intelligent design"

[Eabranth]

How did life materialize?

lol @ Transitional fossil

[drshamast]

So many assumptions in these video for weak hypothesis of evolution
