Junk DNA is an abused word that is eagerly spelled out by evolutionists. The layman who hears this on the TV/internet is completely overwhelmed by so much non-sense. It is misleading.
Similarly. The hoax around this socalled 7 million years missing link in the lineage of great apes. I've seen the skull (and with me the complete earth has seen it) on three different channels. All it is is a female gorilla. I didn't see it on TV that is was a female gorilla, I had to find out in the science section of a paper. I call this misleading of the public. Propaganda!

Mr. Borger, it seems that you just invited somebody else in. You were talking about 'Toumai',
Sahelanthropus, the 7 million years man? Try have a look at the original paper
here
'
Sahelanthropus is distinguished as a hominid...from
Gorilla by smaller size, a narrower and less prognathic lower face, no supratoral sulcus, and smaller canines and lower-cusped cheek teeth;'
Not a gorilla. Precursor maybe, but more inclined towards the human lineage. Check its skull, bottom-view. You'll see a large oval foramen magnum positioned quite anteriorly.
or (shameless self-promotion) my
response to another creationist's (Harun Yahya) article, claiming that Toumai messes up with the 'evolutionary sequence'. Have a look!
