Anonymous Coward User ID: 1376297 United Kingdom 05/09/2011 12:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Man didn’t descend from apes. What is closer to the truth is that our knuckle-dragging cousins descended from us. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1376479That’s one of the shocking new theories being drawn from a series of anthropology papers published Friday in a special edition of the journal Science. Scientists say a 4.4-million-year-old fossil called Ardi – short for ardipithecus ramidus – is descended from the “missing link,” or the last common ancestor between humans and apes. The 4-foot, 110-pound female’s skeleton and physiological characteristics bear a closer resemblance to modern-day humans than to contemporary apes, meaning they evolved from human-like creatures – not the other way around. The partial skeleton “is probably the most important find we have had yet,” says Owen Lovejoy, one of the primary authors on the journal package. “It’s transformative. This is a lot closer to anything that you’d call the missing link than anything that’s ever been found,” says Lovejoy, an anthropologist at Ohio’s Kent State University. Among other things, research on Ardi suggests humans are far more primitive in an evolutionary sense than today’s great apes – like chimps and gorillas – which have continued to evolve from the missing link. “In a way we’re saying that the old idea that we evolved from a chimpanzee is totally incorrect,” he says. “It’s more proper to say that chimpanzees evolved from us.” Lovejoy says chimps experienced more profound evolutionary changes in their backs, pelvises, limbs, hands and feet as they adapted to life in the trees than the hominid line of upright species that evolved into humans.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 30593073 United States 12/22/2012 07:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is an interesting theory. Conventional thinking is very wrong, on the one hand you have the creationists and on the other the evolutionists but neither of them is right. The real archaeological evidence shows that modern humans have been around for at least 300 million years. It's not hard to imagine a breakaway species forming from us in such a long span of time. The idea that we evolved from something else 20 thousand years ago is a lie the establishment tells us to believe. Just because a theory like creation or evolution is popular doesn't mean its right. contemporary mainstream beliefs like the established scientific theory of evolution are forced on us. It puts our minds in a box. Religions put our minds in a box. They don't want you to think outside that box. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25953791 United States 12/22/2012 10:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was just thinking about this the other day. If the degradation of human consciousness along with knowledge of our origin is a cyclical, repetitive process... it makes sense that we would be looking for our origin in the next least evolved life form from us, at least when we are in the process of descending. For instance, 'creation of god' suddenly discovers he is just an ape... consequence, society becomes less human, more ape. Next step... 'apes' discover they are actually 'alien engineered experiments'... society becomes the next devolved life form, robot-like. Those humans who buy the 'evidence' would metaphysically merge with the 'ape energy' over the period of lifetimes continuing the population of the species. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30769080 Especially since Darwin attributed his ridiculous theory to mutations in animals. Of course, today, we know that mutations create weaker animals every time, not just different. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 30769080 United Kingdom 12/24/2012 08:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | of course one ancestor pair alone could have given rise to hundreds of different mutants in its lifetime. and this pair could have been hundreds of mutant creating pairs. what we have left today is those mutants that made it. |

What is closer to the truth is that our knuckle-dragging cousins descended from us. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1376479 Which means they are our children, not our cousin. But joking aside, there are authors who asserted something similar (although in a different context, i.e. connected to the spiritual "evolution" of humanity) long before this was found by science, such as Rudolf Steiner and Helena Blavatsky. There is an article which goes into some depth about this and delves into sources such as Steiner, Blavatsky, and Paul Brunton. The author is named Peter Halloran, google for it. |
