A find in south Africa has science puzzled and scratching their heads. If the finding proves to be what it looks like it will rewrite Evolution. The finding has been carbon dated to 3.5 million years. The bones are human like and from what they have pieced together so far says it walked on two legs in a straight upright position.
Anytime anyone finds anything, all they have is another peice to the puzzle. But because they want to get written up in the newspaper, or they want to write a paper for publication, or they need funding, or they want to sell a book, then they need a gimmic. They need to be able to say they have found a very important peice to the puzzle.
In general if they find something that is ape like, they assign it a older age or date. If they find something that is more human like, then they assign it a younger age or a youger date. What there is a real shortage of, is what they use to call Darwin's missing link. Bones that look both human and ape like.
Every now and then, they find an ape that is more human like than the rest of them. But it is rare. They usually assign them a middle date around 3 to 5 million years of age. This was the case with Lucy, but really what they did with Lucy was they created a composite using bones from different skeltons. So they took a ape that looked a bit more human and made it look even more human like by mixing in some humanoid bones from other skeltons.
For me, when I go to a look at these bones or a plaster copy of the bones, it is obvious that they have bones mixed in that just do not belong there. But maybe not everyone notices. They do not deny that they have mixed other bones in. Usually they "claim" that there skelton was not a full skelton so they had to fill in the missing peices as best as they could. But really, they are just manupulation things to try and support their pet theory.

If you find an ape or of you find a human skelton, your going to get a big: "so what" we got lots of that stuff. So the real find is if you can claim it is half ape, half human. The missing link or the transitory species. That is what everyone is trying to find, and some claim they find it, by mixing bones from apes and humanoids.
Actually, sense there is no evolution then there is not going to be a transitory species. Never has been, never will be. They can look all they want, but they will never find it. I am just amazed that more people do not laugh at their attempt to prove evolution. It use to be more funny that what it is now, because they are more desperate now to try and keep this dead theory afloat. Because peice by peice it has been falisified. The problem is, if you eliminate Darwins theory, they have nothing to replace it with. So they have to keep trying to patch it up to keep it inflated.
Actually, it goes back to Plato and Aristotal. But no one wants to admit that, because then they would have to admit that it has already been falsified. It was a dead theory when Darwin tried to revive it, and soon it will go back to where he found it.
