Glad to see this find, I look forward to further information on this animal. I heard it's going to be on National Geographic as well, I'll watch it for sure.

Incorrect. Humans never evolved for the sake of it, (same with anyother animal) they evolve to suit there current habitat. Apes have no need to evolve. Unlike the Neanderthal, 1million years ago, the food where it lived was ran out and it needed to find grub. So it evolved, and could stand on it's hind legs and ran after it's food. Then it evolved so it could keep work, eg fire.

Get what i mean?

I heartily believe that evolution is the real deal... but c'mon... this monkey-cat thing is the best we've got? That just pisses me off.

We didn't just became human overnight. Look at the skull, it clearly resembles an ape skull. Do some research before you embarass yourself on the internet.

Look evolution to me is still just a thoery cause that's what's it call A THEROY!!!! NOT FACT!!! and how long has this THEORY been around? When they study this they are going to find notihng more then the same thing they got every other time it's close to humans but IT'S NOT HUMAN none of these " Links" have had any human in them!

Why do people think that evidence in favor of evolution is an automatic disproof of creation? If that made any sense, creationists would have "shut the fuck up" decades ago, because this isn't the first piece of evidence we've found, and our ability to fill one gap in the evolutionary timeline of humanity does not answer every question once and for all.

Unless you think that the only religion is fundamental Christianity, you can't assume that evolution and religion are mutually exclusive. Not every religious person believes that the Earth is 6000 years old and that humanity began with the spontaneous creation of two humans whose children formed the rest of our species through incest.

While it's true that the main ideas of what you call "creationism" are explicitly contradictory to the theory of evolution, this isn't true for all of Christianity or for religion in general. The modern "creationist" and "creation science" movements are essentially a backlash to the emergence of evolutionary thought and its presence in public schools.

SHIT SON! YOU'RE RIGHT! QUICK, TRAVEL TO SWEDEN TO PICK UP YOUR NOBEL PRIZE!1!1!!one!1!

Now, seriously you're extremely mentally disabled because you see, we don't evolve to become more awesome, we evolve to fit our environment. And why the hell do you think you know better than the scientists?? Those fossils don't quite resemble a human because it's the fucking acenstor to most apes. Evolution is not linear, several distinct species usually have the same ancestor species.

Get what i mean?

There's no proof that a species can alter its own DNA to adapt. There are two assets of evolution that has evidence supporting it, DNA mutating from radiation and natural selection. If the DNA of a sex cell is altered, it will be reflected in the offspring of that cell, thus altering the specimen from the norm. If that specimen's properties are better suited for survival then natural selection will see to that the specimen survives.

The change that is believed to have triggered humankind is that a primate had it's jaw muscles weakened, allowing the brain to develop more thoroughly without the jaw muscles applying pressure to the cranium. A species doesn't evolve because it needs to survive. A subspecies survives because it's more fit to survive and becomes the dominant subspecies of its respective main species.

Creationists didn't shut the fuck up decades ago (or should I say, 150 years ago?) because they're douchebag. Plain and simple.

Great. Not that it'll matter for die-hard creationists since they happen to lack understanding for the concept of allegory in any way, shape or form.

Still makes this hilarious to read though.

Homo sapiens was on earth at the same time as Homo neanderthalis. Actually the modern man is one of the causes of neanderthal's extinction.

Technically it's the other way round. Chimpanzees in the wild usually have black skin.

White people evolved because the pigment was a disadvantage in areas where the sun wasn't as strong as it is in africa. White skin is much more effective at vitamin-D production, and because of that, it evolved in places where extra sun protection wasn't needed.

We don't need to evolve anymore, because we're... making the world evolve to our needs instead of us evolve to suit the enviroment. Theories are always based on evidence, so as I see it, there is truth in every theory - it's not a guess, its an investigation based on founded evidence to find "the big cheese" of it all. Use less capitals and you'll sound less of a fucktard.

Why do you assume we're not evolving? You wouldn't be able to observe it anyway, unless you live for few hundred thousand years. No one ever said that has humanity stopped evolving, and none of us would be able to tell if we had. The fact that we aren't perfect -- that we can't fly or breath underwater -- does not mean the theory of evolution is wrong. No creature is perfect, and there's no reason to believe that evolution is capable of creating a perfect creature. Evolution is the result of a number of small adaptations over a long period of time, and those adaptations occur based on what a creature needs to survive at a given time. Evolution does not progress in one direction toward the formation of a perfect being.

The theory of evolution is called a "theory" because that's what you call a credible scientific explanation for a certain phenomenon. Atomic theory is a theory, but no one is going out of their way to question it. When most people say "theory" they are referring to something not proven. When scientists say "theory" they are talking about an idea which has a large amount of evidence. Before that, if I'm not mistaken, it's just a hypothesis. Saying that evolution is "just a theory" only shows that you have no idea what the word "theory" means.

Finally, you're never going to find a missing link, or any other link between apes and humans, which has "human" in it. The missing link doesn't need to have human parts. It's not like you're ever going to find a creature with a monkey's body and a human's head. That's not how evolution works. If you really have such a poor understanding of evolutionary theory, it's no wonder you don't believe it.
