Humans evolved from lemurs

[RomanSoldier]

Or at least something like them. Yet another piece of the puzzle is found.

This article is fail. no pictures!!!

"The fossil, of a young female that probably resembled a modern-day lemur, is described as "the most complete primate fossil ever found."

ABC can't even take a photo of the bones?

 

[Nathan45]

ok. i googled it for more:

Is David Attenborough set to reveal the Missing Link in human evolution? | Mail Online

apparently it will be unveiled in new york on the 19th. I don't think they're releasing the photographs until then.

Did he say how many links are still missing?

Did he say how many links are still missing?

One per generation I presume.

Edit: did the math. Assuming 15 years per generation and 47 million years, approximately 3 million missing links.

 

[AV1611VET]

One per generation I presume.

Wouldn't that cause a 404 error in evolution?

not at all... we don't need every single specimen to get a good idea of what happened, but every specimen we do have certainly helps.

Will journalists ever stop using that stupid and misleading 'missing link' meme? Or writing confused articles about subjects they haven't bothered to properly research?

Looking forward to seeing the actual fossil, which sounds interesting indeed, but is not likely to rock any boats too hard.

And more specimens keep popping up all that time that help close the missing gap.

bingo. your right. It would be one per a generation, as each generation changes slightly from the next. scientists has fond enough fossils to conclude that we share common ancestry with other life forms.

fps fps fps. at what point would the fps of a video be so low as to render it unwatchable and impossible to understand? At what point would the fps be so fast that that the extra frames would be a waist?

do story boards render a 404 error? i would say scientists have enough fossils to create a storyboard for how life changed. One doesn't need every fossil to show that evolution happens, just key moments or key frames if you will

from your link

"with a body about the size of a raccoon -- but it has characteristics that suggest a relationship both to primates and humans. It has, among other things, opposable thumbs, similar to humans' and unlike those found on other modern mammals. It has fingernails instead of claws. And scientists say they believe there is evidence it was able to walk on its hind legs."


I don't care if it could take a garbage can lid off with one thumb, and some scientists say it walked, and manicured it's nails. ..it wasn't a man. Get over it. There are adults here.

Indeed their is, perhaps you wish to sit at the little kids table and avoid complex discussions and people that call you out on baseless claims and fallacious arguments.

The poster clearly diden't say it was a man Only that it could be a distant relative.

They could say the same about a worm, for all that's worth. And you call me baseless?? Nothing could be more fallacious. What is complex is proving the foolish claim. Not only that, you are not talking to a kindergarten kid now that will accept things just because you wish or claim them to be true. That is the nature of the beast.

 

[MoonLancer]

And you call me baseless??

The nature of the beast is in the details. If you look at my post you will see i called your claims baseless. By calling YOU baseless, that would mean something else entirely, and change the meaning of what I typed.

and rather they could say a worm and man have a common ancestor, but one could not say the worm is the ancestor, so stop fuding around with details to make your point, it makes it dull and worthless.

Hmmm or maybe they just a female raccoon, wow wouldn't that be amazing!

Opposable thumbs - Raccoons have opposable thumbs
Fingernails - I read fingernails decay over a period of a few weeks
Walking on their hind legs - hmm don't raccoons have the ability to bare all their weight with their hind legs?

Yeah I believe they are grasping to try to fill the missing link!

 

[AV1611VET]

fps fps fps.

Let me ask you something, MoonLancer.

If this molecules-to-man fps show was the alphabet, and A was the molecule, and Z the man --- how many letters in this alphabet are really filled in?

So they find what they call a Tiktaalik, and call it a missing link between fish and amphibian, or an Archaeopteryx and call it a missing link between a reptile and a bird.

That leaves what?

Another 30 quintillion dots to connect --- before it even begins to look like an fps movie?

I'm not interested in frames --- I'm interested in pages --- of the Bible.

GN, we understand that you rely on sarcasm to try to make your points because you lack a basic understanding of some of the things being discussed. so you have difficulty making a point that is on topic.

You are just sure you dont believe them whatever they are; not tying to be mean here but its a bit on the level of a kid saying about food, "I dont like it what is it".

I understand that you believe wha tyou believe because you believe it.

Please understand too that there are a lot of very sensible, highly educated peopls out there doing good research and you live with the very tangible results of that work.

There isnt within the scientific community a church of evolutionists who have their own silly rules of evidence and Truths they are trying to Prove with their nonsense.

Its not like that. if it were anywhere remotely like that they would be the laughingstock of the Universitites, for a brief time at least. They would get no funding and would soon cease to exist.

Your questions often reveal a very deep basic lack of understanding aobut the issues and science involved. If you did understand what people are doing and how, you would not waste your time with meaningless remarks about female raccoons with opposable thumbs, because youd know better. For everyone's sake esp you own i hope you will try to inform yourself better. ( for a start dont get your "facts' from creo sites)

We are aware that your only interest is in your bible.

Something that has been found is not a "missing" link, False statement there onyour part.

If they found one of your fingerprints at the crime scene you'd have no luck saying that has no meaning, you didnt find ALL of my finger prints. And toe prints, palm prints and there is no video either. its a completely silly argument.

Are YOU aware that finding even one transitional form / fingerprint demonstrates the idea?

Creation is showing us the frames that many can't see because they are way too busy with their nose buried in the Bible. Look up and out to God's Creation and at what it is telling us. Creation is after all signed by God's signature.
