Human Evolution
Scientist A says human evolution is a fact. He proposes hominid B as the youngest human ancestor, a creature who is clearly not human but which A claims evolved into us.
How did A determine that B is our daddy? By placing him in line through morphology (cranium,jaw,teeth similarities mostly). Enter the following article: The Unreliability of Hominid Phylogenetic Analysis Challenges The Human Evolutionary Paradigm which discusses a research paper: How reliable are human phylogenetic hypotheses? a critique of phylogenies constructed using cladistics. From the research article: [ QUOTE ] The results of the parsimony and bootstrap tests indicate that cladistic analyses based on standard craniodental characters cannot be relied on to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships of the hominoids, papionins, and, by extension, the fossil hominins. More problematically, the tests suggest that such analyses can strongly support phylogenetic hypotheses that are misleading. [/ QUOTE ] So why should I believe you guys, huh?

What is your alternative theory to the evolution of the human animal? [/ QUOTE ] Wait and see. I'm still collating. Insufficient data. Does not compute. All of the above.

Re: Human Evolution
If you look around you, don't you see a change happening in genetic make-up?
If you look at the bone structure of whales, birds, fish, humans, don't you think there are obvious similarities? Where do you think 'species' come from? When the planet just formed there were no dinosaurs, and then there were dinosaurs. How did that happen? And there were no huminoids, only rats and stuff. And then there were humanoids. How did that happen?

Where do you think 'species' come from?...How did that happen? [/ QUOTE ] Oh, you mean where did everything come from? Ok, just a wild guess: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth"

Re: Human Evolution
NotReady, explain how that article disproves evolution.

What is this 'god' and how does this 'creating' work, exactly?
