Um.....what? This is "Ida" (Darwinius)...

So if H. naledi is "more ape" than Darwinius, I guess that means humans are "more ape" than Darwinius too. :chuckle:
I have seen people alive today that look like this above picture.

It's actually nothing new. Scientists also claim that they found Neanderthal genes in humans, as a result of interbreeding instead of evolution. On the other hand, if interbreeding between humans and other species existed, the theory of a common ancestor becomes a joke.
There will never be enough evidence to change a mind that does not want to be changed.
I laughed heartily at fumbling creationist attempts to reconcile their hilarious views of natural history with reality.
Humans are great apes. Human is a name we call our species, but how many other ancestor or branching species should we call human? That is the only (relatively trivial) question for a proper scientist.
The comedy of creationism comes from the parts of the creationists' conspiracy theory that tells them their sky friend has made them special. They want respectable-sounding sciency words to give that joke idea credibility.
Thanks for the laugh, and keep them coming!

That sounds like a bizarre scenario, but I am in favour of the principle of redistributing wealth so people aren't left destitute.So when the eco-socialists take away your property because there are humans ("great apes") that deserve as much as you have, and you are in the top 1% so you're the first target of these environmental justice crusaders, will you say you are "human"?
What, you mean like the way creationists don't like the fact that they are descended from early monkey species?The Dead Sea Scrolls say that Noah was the first white man born, and that he had blue eyes. Before then, people only had brown eyes. I think Evolutionist do not like the fact that white men came from the darker skinned peoples.

Uh...that makes no sense. At all.
Correct... that is Ida who evolutionists tried to promote as a missing link leading to humanity.
And that is more of an ape than H. naledi?
But.... you have it backwards from what I said...naledi is more apelike than Ida. Who evolutionists promoted as a missing link.
Oh, my mistake then. Sorry 'bout that.
So what do you think H. naledi is?
I don't know what naledi is. If I was to guess, I suppose an extinct ape, based on small brain, but.... I don't know. My position though is the same as it would be for Neandertals after initial discovery.... It is either fully human....or dully animal. There is no such thing as a transition between ape and human.

I also try to shop in a way that supports suppliers who aren't destroying the habitats of the other great apes, and I hope you do the same.

Nice assumption.Wouldn't you think that if there was absolutely no connection between humans and other primates, there would be a very clear and distinct line between the two, and specimens like this would never exist? Every specimen would be trivially easy to put in the "human" or "ape" group.
Why is God so good to evolutionary scientists and so mean to creationists?
Correct!There is no such thing as a transition between ape and human.
