Ape/Human Hybrid: Refuting Evolution

http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/20.../fischman-text

Quote:
The evidence they point to includes an australopith's little brain (with some curiously modern features), apelike shoulders, and arms adapted to climbing in trees—attached to a bizarrely modern hand with the precision grip of a toolmaker.
I don't want any BS about me quoting out of context either.

OK...but you cite some very strong pro-evolution evidence and then title the thread "Ape/Human Hybrid: Refuting Evolution." Were you being sarcastic, or challenging people to try to refute evolution, or what? I don't get your point.

Any new find is going to have its authenticity challenged. Scientists enjoy proving each other wrong.

I kind of think that the comment you are responding to was made without even reading the article given that the very next statement after paragraph containing the originally quoted portion is

Quote:
In a science known for its contentiousness, such a claim will surely not go unchallenged. But no one disputes that the Malapa fossils are unprecedented.

I used the smilie just for you, too. It was sarcasm, and I was intentionally quoting out of context.

WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME???

Her teeth look surprisingly straight and I'll bet she'd be terrified of a Sony Bravia. Looks like a winner by GT standards.
