Why Do you think the internet got the fossil story wrong?

many ppl. scientists, journalists, ppl in R&S are jumping to conclusions, which based on the information reported, have yet to be proven.

I fail to see how the aforementioned news item can be referred to as 'the missing link" in human evolution. This is a fossil of a monkey/lemur type species, which might or might not be a link between monkey and lemur species.

Or it may just be a different species than either, the same way that jackals and coyotes are different than wolves and dogs. OR it might just be a hybrid, the result of a mating between the two species. Science has already presumed that monkeys and lemurs are genetically similar but not identical, as are raccoons and red pandas.

To date, there has been no discovery of a legitimate missing link between monkeys and apes, or apes and man, although our species share some identical chromosomes and genetic traits. I would need to see a genetically authenticated fossil of a specimen born of a union between an ape and a human before giving the premise of evolution any serious consideration. Darwin himself said such a specimen would be impossible to find.

Nothing has been proven.

It's a fossil. What's there to get wrong?

Every new fossil species that's possibly in the chain of human ancestry is a link. Now that it's discovered, by definition, it can't be missing.

However, each time a new link is discovered, it bisects the link between the two previously known links, so the number of missing links expands by one.

No single fossil proves Darwin's theory. Darwin's theory is a big-picture overview that explains most of what we see in the universe of living things, past and present.

"Like It was the missing ling and the proof of Darwin's Theory"

----------------------------------------

Missing ling? That's actually correct. "Ling" is the Thai word for "monkey". The fossil was a monkey-like creature that is an distant relative of humans.

The internet wrote it's own story about fossils? Since when?

truthfully, i hadnt read it yet, i sent it to a freind and summed it up saying what it is.

you should listen to michael kremo the link below

and the other links in the file.

archelogy has been getting it wrong for 3000 years.

and the best answer is gossip.

Darwins theory was proved a long time ago.

I wasn`t aware that they had gotten it wrong. I watched on Daily Planet last night pretty much the same things that I have been reading on the internet today.

Show where they got it wrong.

we arent here for that....but evolution is lies so please see current events
