From chimp to man: it's as easy as 1, 2, 3!

Thread moved here from the Proposed New Topics forum.

I think you could apologize to TL here Nuggin. I thought before he apologized to you that it was a pretty easy mistake for him to have made about the meaning of what was written. To suggest he made the mistake deliberately wasn't fair imho.In any case the topic is a good one. And noting the different issues with the morphology and genome is a good thing too.I'd like to see it continue. This is going to be a fascinating area of research in the next decade. We are actually starting to piece together the jigsaw puzzle that offers a clue as to just how (in some detail) we may have evolved. Fun stuff!

Pretty much everything you have posted so far contradicts the above statement. You were given some friendly advice I suggest that you will get more out of this forum if you follow it.Start by understanding that you DO NOT UNDERSTAND anything about evolution at all. If you insist on sticking to the idea that you do you will be wasting your time here and that of others. Eventually they will give up on you.If you understand instead that you have much to learn then you have a chance of making progress and will find a number of patient, friendly and very knowlegable folk to help you.

This is plagerism. You were warned! A one week suspension this time.

This topic is about the differences between Chimps and Humans. It is not about the origin of life. That is, in fact, a completely separate forum.but to answer your question: It is obvious that origin of life questions are of chemistry. Since the word "evolution" as used most often and certainly used here means "biological evolution" it obviously can't be talking about the origin of life since biology only deals with living things.Anyone may argue with ideas, speculations or theories about the origin of life. But it doesn't matter to the evolutionary model how life arose. It may be zapped from the dust by a god, seeded my space aliens or a inevitably result of chemistry. Once it is there then, and only then can any biological evolution take place and it takes place no matter how it arose in the first place.

The topic is recent human evolution and our relationship to chimps.If we can't stick to that I'll close this for awhile.

Until we all figure out what the topic is here the thread will have to be closed for a few hours.Me? I'll be skiing in the sunshine.

From now on short suspensions will be issued to those who have trouble with getting the topic right.

Dr. Bill, that isn't helping keep the thread on topic.
