"Missing Link" found!
No, I'm not referring to the really hairy little guy I saw at the beach last Sunday while I was playing volleyball. I'm referring to this. The 47 million year old monkey fossils that actually appear to be the remains of the long-sought "missing link" in human evolution. I love that it was actually found decades ago and has been hanging on some random guy's wall as a decoration.

And here's a link to info on when the first shows about it will be aired around the world.

I'm so glad you said that! (since these are still only claims, and some remain decidedly sceptical)

But yes - potentially - very exciting, and even if it's not related in the way we thought/hoped, still a marvellous fossil.

And now we cross live to our science correspondent, Sarah Palin....

Leave it to sean to find this.












Hey! I want one of those too cacophony. I mentioned it first.

Thank you, bryantm3. In regards to lemurs, my thoughts exactly.

Re: "Missing Link" found!
now THIS is something i feel like i can preemptively blame the media for. i predict a slow-news-day feeding frenzy with crazy religious zealots and bloodthirsty atheists engaging in open battle on every news network and website.

and for what? if you already believe in evolution, this changes nothing. and if you're too stupid to comprehend evolution, this isn't going to budge your opinion.


apparently there's a news program in australia that just asked, "is this the end of religion?" actually, i wish we had a vomiting smiley because that's a more accurate depiction of my reaction.

Re: "Missing Link" found!
i fail to see how a lemur with a long tail really connects human evolution with that of monkeys. by the way, if evolution is real, how come bugs are still confused by lightbulbs? don't you think they've been around long enough?
my point is that the theory of evolution is still very full of holes, especially considering the fact that there still is no real link that shows that fish evolved into amphibians, reptiles into birds, etc. natural selection is one thing, as typified by native americans seperated from the rest of the world for thousands of years and developing different features. yet, why could the native americans still reproduce with europeans?

And lightbulbs have been around for.....?

Camp fires are typically not a problem for moths.
