why humans are not primates

[: D]

You mean foot bones have been found for Australopithecus Afarensis, but because the fossil set labelled "Lucy" technically doesn't contain any, you pretend Paul of Eugene OR doesn't know what he is talking about? Not cool. Not cool at all.

don't tell me,
show me.

if that's "cool".
thanks

Humans are animals. It's absurd to think that we are not...

What's wrong with being absurd then?

Was Moses being reasonable, when he led the fleeing Israelites to Pihahiroth?

Exodus 14:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exodus 14:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
Exodus 14:3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.

I suspect Pharaoh thought: "Those idiots! We got'em now!"

Well, I don't think Moses ever existed... But I don't see the relevance to being a reasonable person and believing in what science has said...

But does the Bible paint Moses as being absurd, obedient ... or both?

Who cares? I appreciate you feel the need to get your post count quota for the day, but the thread was about the classification of primates.

 

[AV1611VET]

Yes, it was.

it seems to me humans, if your scenario were to be correct, would all be black (for want of a better phrase) to maintain this advantage ?

No. In higher latitudes too much melanin would reduce the amount of vitamin d synthesised.

Humans are animals. It's absurd to think that we are not... Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia, Primates, Haplorhini, Hominidae, Homo, Homo spaiens.

False, since Humans (Adam) was made long before ANY other living creature including Apes. Animals are innocent since they do NOT have Adam's superior intelligence which is like God's. Gen 3:22 If you don't believe me, then try to get just one animal to post on this board. You will learn the difference between dumb animals and Humans. Amen?

No, but it makes for a good story.

Have you now learned the difference between animals and Humans (descendants of Adam)? Your cat did NOT evolve from Adam so it cannot be Human. Amen?

Yes. Animals are real, descendants of Adam are fictional.

Heres an article that discusses the feet of A. Afarensis:

http://johnhawks.net/explainer/early-hominins/feet-australopithecus-afarensis

Here's an excerpt from that article . . .

Fossil foot bones from A. afarensis add detail to what we’ve learned from the Laetoli footprint trails. For example, Carol Ward, Bill Kimbel and Don JohansonWard:metatarsal:2011 described one of the bones of the midfoot from Hadar, Ethiopia, that represents A. afarensis. This bone, the fourth metatarsal, is the one that connects the fourth toe to the bones of the ankle. In humans, these ankle bones are higher, and transfer the body’s weight downward into the arching midfoot. So the fourth metatarsal has to be slightly twisted as it arches down toward the lateral (outside) side of the foot. A chimpanzee’s foot is much flatter, so the bone doesn’t twist. Ward and colleagues found that the A. afarensis bone was twisted in a humanlike way.

Not so, or you would be hunting a Cave to sleep in tonight. Prehistoric people were NOT Humans (descendants of Adam) and therefore did NOT inherit Adam's superior intelligence which is like God's. Gen 3:22 The sons of God (prehistoric people) evolved from the common ancestor of Apes, so WHY do you refer to them as Humans? If Adam's descendants (Noah) had not arrived in Lake Van, Turkey some 11k years ago, there would be NO Humans on this Planet. Amen?

That is correct: No, but it makes for a good story.

Reasoning would have gotten them into trouble, wouldn't it have?

God did the reasoning, Moses did the obeying.

Yep, stories have a way of ending up however the author intends. Funny, that.

In your opinion.
