    Re: interesting evolution twist

    That is exactly what would be expected by evolution. there are side branches in the evolution of pretty much everything. Look at African Rift Lake cichlids as a good example.

    BTW, for anyone that wants to read the orignal article in Nature PM me and I can send the .pdf

    I think it's obvious by most of the threads around here that Homo sapiens and Neanderthals currently coexist.

    Re: interesting evolution twist

    That’s an interesting article. I wonder about that bit in the article that our ancestors and their cousins living side-by-side for like thousands of years. But those cousins aren’t here anymore and our DNA tells us that we are all recently related.

    So what happened?

    Caveman 1: Did you check out that babe?
    Caveman 2: Huh? What babe?!?!!!
    Caveman 1: The hairy one. She’s like bent over and showing you her hairy…ummm…look, she can at least keep you warm at night.

    <prostitution invented>

    Caveman 1,001: Did you check out that kid of the neighbors.
    Caveman 1,002: Huh? What kid?!?!!!
    Caveman 1,001: The hairy one. She’s a troll if I ever saw one. Let’s throw rocks at the neighbors.

    <morality invented>

    Caveman 1,000,001: Did you check out that article about human evolution?
    Caveman 1,000,002: Huh? What article?!?!!!
    Caveman 1,000,001: The one that says that our family tree is confusing. Blasphemers, I tell you. We’re made in God’s image.

    Re: interesting evolution twist

    I'm not sure if Creationists would really care about this. As far as I understand their argument, they are just flat out against evolution. That it might be a different kind of evolution, I don't think will make much of a difference.

    Imagine ToE as a big puzzle. We're slowly putting pieces together, but we're far from the complete picture. The more pieces we put properly in place, the more obvious the big picture will be; however, the details we derive will change from time to time.

    Re: interesting evolution twist

    There is so much we do not know...Anyone who tries to say we know what is, is not being true to science. Just think of all the old theories that are now being called into question.
    Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.

    It's the equivalent of finding that your grandmother and great-grandmother were sisters rather than mother-daughter, said study co-author Fred Spoor...
    Wow.

    I didn't know the origin of mankind started in Arkansas.
    People don't know what it is to be a champion.

    Oklahoma INVENTED it.

    Re: interesting evolution twist

    How is this finding any different from asserting that man descended from apes, yet man currently coexists with apes? Current science will be junk science in a 100 years.

    they have reached a consnesus that evolution happened.

    The jury is still out (and will be for a long time) as to exactly which evolutionary steps brought us to where we are today, and when they happened.
    I'm not all that surprised by this finding.

    perhaps you should learn something about evolution before citing it or calling it junk science...

    according to the theory, apes and man have common ancestors, but man is not decended from modern apes

    Do you mean Scientologists? Christian Scientists are a different faith.

    Re: interesting evolution twist

    it's one thing to discount a theory because it doesn't mesh with your beliefs, it's another to misrepresent a theory to make it look like "junk science"
