New Species of Homo Discovered: Homo naledi

Everyone will greatly enjoy this well written article: 6 Tiny Cavers, 15 Odd Skeletons, and 1 Amazing New Species of Ancient Human.Here's a link to the technical paper: Homo naledi, a new species of the genus Homo from the Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa--PercyEdited by Percy, : Fix link. Thanks, jar.

second link doesn't.

Oh, just great. Two more sets of missing transitionals.

The credulousness of atheists is breathtaking.

What are those skeletons, Faith? Crossbreed dwarf Nephelim? Fakes placed by Satan to deceive the faithful?I think I know who is credulous.

They're either human or they're not, and if they're human they are human, they are not "transitionals" but simply humans.

Does this look human to you?

Artist renderings are untrustworthy. Beside which, as I said, if it's human it's human, but I don't trust whoever decides that anyway.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

And the great thing about creationism is that you can say that before you've studied their anatomy. The actual facts about the bones don't matter.

Well, yes. I admit that. We only have fossils that we can see and measure and touch, and we build on that? C'mon.Whereas you have a story about a talking snake that is documented in actual paintings. Artists don't lie.

What a great story! An incredible find.

What's that? Your voice is being drowned out by the roar of atheist science happening."Oh God, pride of Man, broken in the dust again" - Quicksilver Messanger Service

If you could apply your native skepticism to your own beliefs, you would have a remarkable mind.

Or, if she could apply her native skepticism to her own beliefs, she would be remarkably crazy.Her "skepticism" is such that if consistently applied, she wouldn't believe anything. That would be bad skepticism done wrong. She saves herself from this by applying her "skepticism" selectively, only to deny the conclusions of scientists when it suits her, and not so as to apply to her daily needs. If she did extend her principles to how she lives her life, she would, sure, be agnostic. On the other hand she wouldn't know how to tie her shoelaces.

Have to actually agree with Faith here* - argument by artist's impression is a dead end. After all, this doesn't look particularly human: This one, on the other hand, wouldn't look too out of place if I saw him on the metro: They are, of course, reconstructions of the same fossil (La Chapelle-aux-Saints 1), separated from one another by a century of cultural baggage and scientific study.*about this specific post, not about the new fossils.Edited by caffeine, : No reason given.
