Human evolution and missing links (Meet the family)

A short film outlining what we know about human evolution, introducing some members of the extended human family. The film includes a timeline and snippets of information about each hominid species. As far as possible the information is correct,(1) but any comments and criticisms will be welcomed. The music is by sigur ros.

The species included are;

Sahelanthropus tchadensis
Orrorin tugenensis
Kenyanthropus platyops
Australopithecus Afarensis (Wrongly labeled)
Australopithecus Africanus
Australopithecus boisei
Homo habilis
Homo ergaster
Homo erectus
Homo heidelbergensis
Homo neanderthalensis
Homo floresiensis
Homo sapiens

(1) The A affarensis skull pictured is listed as AL 333, this is not accurate. It should have been AL 444-2 . Many thanks to majordistruction for the correction.

@cambell1308 Thanks for the source information. At no point does the first paper say anything that disagrees with the fact that we share a common ancestor with Chimps, the second source is not a scientific paper but unscientific creationist nonsense which was too poor to get through the process of peer review and as such is not worth reading.

@RandomVortex "he does have all of the markers;)"

I know right? And what's up with theists who won't tell you what they believe in? I mean Cambell claims not to be a christian or "creatarded" ha ha then DOESN'T tell us what he believes in! ha ha seems to be a common theme among theists. KEEP your belief a secret, while bashing others!

@cambell1308 "All you can do0 is repost my statements. "

ACTUALLY, I post YOUR question so OTHERS know what i'm addressing.... But I'm sure you're smart enough to have noticed that....

" Now go away and play hate games with youir little friends because that's what will help the world not discussion RIGHT!!"

When did I claim THAT?

".you bore me so much..."

Sorry FACTS and INFORMATION bore you... That's a personal problem however....

[cambell1308]

@TacoBurgher327 Thanks for proving my point that can not think. All you can do0 is repost my statements. That's so embarrassing. Now go away and play hate games with youir little friends because that's what will help the world not discussion RIGHT!! ....you bore me so much....

@cambell1308 " But I am curious as to why MY beliefs are so important to YOU???"

Ha ha you confuse curiosity with importance. AGAIN, I could care less what you believe, but YOU started bashing atheists as if you had any idea about us. Forgive me for assuming you had some kind of theistic belief.

Again, it doesn't matter what you believe, as you revert to ad hominid attacks when you assert various topics, such as "why MY beliefs are so important to YOU?"

There not, get over yourself...

@cambell1308 " But I am curious as to why MY beliefs are so important to YOU??? Low self esteem? mother issues? or bullied at school maybe?. "

All of the above ha ha ha. Anything theists DON'T assume?

[cambell1308]

@TacoBurgher327 Oh Taco I'm responding because your intelligence, or rather lack of it is really funny to me. So for the third time I am not a follower of religion although I know you really want me to be...Sorry. You just have umm how do we say ..issues. But I am curious as to why MY beliefs are so important to YOU??? Low self esteem? mother issues? or bullied at school maybe?. Either way I don't know you and so take your hate elsewhere and stop projecting YOUR shit on people..GROW UP.

[TacoBurgher327]

@cambell1308 "You are so shallow that you need to categorize someone before you can object to them"

Um, no, crazy person. Ha ha ha i just want to know WHAT you believe and WHY... Is that such a bad thing? Do you REALLY think i CARE what religion you are? ha ha ha their ALL made up fairy tales for grown ups to accept their inevitable death. So fine, don't tell anyone what you believe, all you're doing is PROVING you have no idea what you're talking about...
