Richard Dawkins clears up the misunderstanding of Evolution that is all too common: If we descended from Chimpanzees, then why are there still Chimpanzees? Dawkins explains that we DID NOT descend from Chimpanzees—we both share a common ancestor.

During Richard Dawkins' 2009 American tour, we visited Judy Diamond's "Explore Evolution" exhibit at the University of Nebraska State Museum in Lincoln. This exhibit has now been replicated in six museums around the country. While visiting we filmed a collection of short unrehearsed and unscripted videos—just inspired by the "Explore Evolution" exhibit.

I have a black Atheist friend who finds it silly how scientists are reluctant to portray an African alongside Chimps, Bonobos and Orangutans out of fear of political correctness. We are ALL African at our core. Caucasians simply look different from native Africans because they evolved within the Caucus mountains. Lighter skin from less sun. Thin noses and lips were better suited for the cold because they wouldn't freeze as easily. Asian eyes were better in the harsh desert winds and sun etc.

@renegadekav Threatening to kill someone then claiming that they are the warmongers is a rather interesting take on debates. Furthermore calling an atheist a warmonger is like calling the bible gospel truth, if you'll pardon the pun. Simply put all evidence and proofs point toward the theory of evolution being a correct. Before you use the age old "it's only a theory" you may want to look up the definition of theory "the analysis of a set of facts in their relation to one another" ...

@renegadekav I'm not telling you. I'm suggesting. You're pretty quick to get angry. You probably didn't read my other replies below either.
