Oldest "Human" Skeleton Found --Disproves "Missing Link
 

Story here.

Just for clarification, it doesn't disprove the "missing link." Disproving the missing link idea in general would be disproving that human and other apes share a common ancestor. It disproves a theory that the last common ancestor between human and other apes would be chimpanzee-like.

And that's if this group's interpretation of the skeleton is correct (and this skeleton is even in our evolutionary path).


But no matter what it is an amazingly cool find.

Totally cool find.
But I can't help but wonder... we just found one? Where are all the others?

Here?

After 4 million years, it's kind of tough to find these guys.

I think it is pretty clear that the lack of a missing link between this missing link and the other missing link is pretty clear evidence that evolution is a Nazi-istic conspiracy.

It's all a vast right-wing conspiracy

I just lifted the title from National Geographic, so they're wrong.

:D

Stupid National Geographic hacks. They should get back to showing me naked aboriginal boobies.

Given the fairly narrow conditions under which dead bodies will produce fossils (dying in a mudbank is a pretty good way to do it) - we are lucky to have found as many fossils as we have.
