Excavating Ardi: A New Piece for the Puzzle of Human Evolution

Quote :

"researchers unveiled Ardi, a 125-piece hominid skeleton that is 1.2 million years older than the celebrated Lucy (Australopithecus afarensis) and by far the oldest one ever found. Tim White of the University of California, Berkeley, a co-leader of the Middle Awash research team that discovered and studied the new fossils, says, "To understand the biology, the parts you really want are the skull and teeth, the pelvis, the limbs and the hands and the feet. And we have all of them.""

This is a lie perpetrated by "Big Science" and the militant evolutionists.

If we came from monkeys, how come there are still monkeys, hmm?

And where are the intermediate fossils?

right right, rawr rawr rawr.


Speaking of fossils, apparently this was a gold mine:

"That is the beauty of Ardi — good bones. The completeness of Ardi's remains, as well as the more than 150,000 plant and animal fossils collected from surrounding sediments of the same time period, has generated an unprecedented amount of intelligence about one of our earliest potential forebears."

It's probably a mutation that disappeared with time like Lucy or that pig's tooth thing. It's like how one day they'll find a fossil skeleton of a person with progeria and they'll come up with some crazy new species or evolution theory.
