The next time your local Creationist preacher tries to tell you that there have not been any missing links found, bring up the article in the journal Nature, reported on by Reuters, published this month. The article reports on fossil finds at the site of Dmanisi, in the nation of Georgia, of individuals that had a combination of traits associated with two different human species. The people had the small brains associated with Homo habilis, but the lower body traits associated with Homo erectus.
How will the Creationists deal with this new, additional evidence for evolution from ape-like species to modern day human beings? Did Satan plant this evidence, perhaps? If so, watch out – that means that Irregular Times is acting as a servant of Satan, by relaying news of his diabolical illusion.
Beware!
Surprising that “erectus” lower body traits went with a smaller brain.
But what was the first thing humans did as soon as they developed legs good for upright walking? They got the hell out of Africa.
Don’t worry, Christian fundamentalists don’t consider facts and reality, only “faith” in their myth as being what life is about. It’s like brainwashing only more insidious – the church indoctrinates their members so that they completely buy into it. Questioning is not believing, see?
