Re: "Missing Link" found!
Interesting find. I don't believe in evolution, specifically that humans evolved from monkeys, so this is no big deal for me.
However, I always thought that the 'missing link', if there were to be such a thing, would be different than this. Like bigger, and without a tail. |

Here, you can use my can opener. I stole it from a boy scout(former boy scout, he's an adult now), but you didn't hear about it from me.

Re: "Missing Link" found!
I guess no educated person actually does, but you know what I was meaning.
To correct myself, I don't believe that we come from the same evolutionary ancestor as monkeys. |

i saw this recently too which touches upon this idea.. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/s..._humanity.html Tho this fossil has nothing really got to do with why the native americans or aboriginals are slightly different to Europeans Africans or Aisians.. this has got to do with the development of the root human, the Homosapian... it has already been prooven that these different types of human have the same DNA footprint...what needs to be proven is where and how that DNA footprint first came into existance. Also lets say the comment left here about the flys not realising that a lightbulb will kill them was valid... taking the idea lets say that the lightbulb has been in existance for as long as the fly... the idea of Natural Selection and Darwins theory is that while the majority of flies would perish to the lightbulb, over millenia one or two flies would develop the brain capacity to realise the lightbulb was harmless.. that feature would be passed on from generation to generation, slowly at first but eventually to a point that there was clearly two species..the ones that are attracted to the lightbulb and the ones that are not..the ones that are not have longer lives, thus develop better, perhaps grow in size... and now these days this strain of fly has become a wasp, a bee etc... not in anyway threatened by the light. And this does not mean that the fly species would die out completely, it continues to co-exist with its more advanced cousins, and continues to perish to the lightbulb... same reason why monkeys and apes still exist today with us.. This fossil has qualities that display what would be similar to our flys minimaly higher brain capacity, its not the longer tail as someone said here, its the aposable big toes and the presence of nails rather than claws... you could imagine that this new form of lemur did not need big claws to dig into a tree trunk because it had a big toe that could hook onto it and grip him in... thus the claws become less essential and develop into nails... I mean i amnt in any way an archeologist or paleantologist... but you have to admit that the fact that this hybrid species has even been found in the state it is in is something incredible.. and its worth considering how it applies tot he development of primates at least..and perhaps if you then come around to the idea humans too Last edited by Dunwho; 05-20-2009 at 02:06 PM. |

Re: "Missing Link" found!
This whole thread makes me want to gouge my eyes out. Is it really this difficult to understand the principle of natural selection? Because I'm seeing some really stupid things being said in the name of debating evolution.
Do we need to pause for a refresher course? |

Re: "Missing Link" found!
One of the first responses to the initial post was a prediction of a "slow-news-day feeding frenzy"
funny how the thread devolved |
