    I'm sure OP sleeps better at night now that he knows that he might not have descended from African monkeys.

    This post right here is what gives you away.

    Your post does not move any evidence into any political ideology except for those who have no clear understanding of science, or political ideology. The two exist in separate universes.

    he doesn't even try to hide his bigoted bias and agenda.

    asserting that research is crap because Jews were involved?

    asking if members are Jews simply because he disagrees with them?

    its disgusting

    Well, that poster should be aware that we already know we descended from pond scum.

    Any pride he might have in exactly which hairy ape came closest to us between now and then seems poorly founded.

    "The original Graecopithecus specimen mandible found in 1944, "reportedly unearthed as the occupying German forces were building a wartime bunker".[4] The mandible with a third molar that is very worn, the root of a second molar, and a fragment of a premolar is from a site called Pyrgos Vassilissis northwest of Athens[5][6] and is dated from the late Miocene. Excavation of the site is not possible (as of 1986) due to the owner having built a swimming pool on the location.[7]"

    Science is not built on the prospect of settling any question permanently. Science simply answers the question in the most practical way using the latest data available. True scientists NEVER assume current knowledge is some form of FINAL knowledge, and are always open to new discoveries or even new interpretations of older data, that can offer more accurate answers to the questions considered. Non-scientists like to attack science for constantly changing its answers, as if those answers were always undependable because they change. But that change simply reflects updates in data accuracy gleaned from further research, and doesn't negate older understandings, only supplements them with new data. Science is an ongoing process of continual renewal and broadening understanding. It is NEVER the final "settled" answer to anything, and that is it's greatest strength, because the search for a greater understanding is never ending.

    nice post :) yes Newton's law also does not explain why objects with mass attracts... of course as I'm sure you are aware we now know it's because of the bending of space time. A theory that stood for a long time but without explanation.

    lets say your right and chimps are only 1% different than humans.

    the greatest known genetic diversity between human beings is 0.1%.

    that means chimps are 10x more genetically seperate from humans, than the furthest genetically different humans.

    you fail

    So what? Chimps and humans are very, very different from each other, despite being 99% the same, genetically. Even a small 0.1% difference could potentially account for a huge difference.

    if we are 99% similar, we are NOT "very, very different".

    your logic in this topic sucks

    1% is a significant difference. We share something like 60% of the same DNA as a banana.

    So you don't see a huge difference between yourself and this, even though you're 99% identical?

    No difference. They both throw there feces at anyone who disagrees with them.

    You've never met any, but if you did, I guarantee you didn't speak a word to them. The internet is a lot safer.

    Something really disturbing about middle-aged/old men talking like teenagers.

    I used to have contracts with 3 different LEOs. I've met my fair share - alive and dead.

    Were blacks the original group of humans, blacks today all over Africa would be far more advanced than the europeans are. Rather the white groups are responsible in the main for contemporary global importance advances. Asians are very smart yet they are not the origin of the most serious scientific advances. I really wish i understood why.

    naturally the Democrats (called left wing) resent blacks not being the first group of humans. I also question the Chimpanzee being a link. I have only read maybe 15 books on this topic and have not settled on any theory.

    I have a proposal though. That human life originated globally and not just in one or two areas. This accounts for the variety of humans we call races.

    Neanderthals had larger brains and were smarter than homo sapiens. Europeans and Asians have Neanderthal DNA, whereas sub-Saharan Africans typically do not. I think that's the key to the puzzle.

    Who called it 'settled science'? Science is never settled; there are always new discoveries and advances to be made. Scientific theories are not settled science either; they are simply the best explanation we could come up with, for whatever, at the time, and remain until a better theory is proposed.
    Let me guess, you thought that this might be the solution to your problem with having black ancestors! Sorry to disabuse you, but you still have some black in you.:nana:

    Progressive dogma? Are scientists not allowed to have right-wing leanings?

    and here the racist agenda comes full circle.

    just cause an animal has a larger brain doesn't mean they were neccessarily smarter.

    someone who respected science would know that.
