"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

Our common ancestor lived about six million years ago.
Evolution deniers, look at this family and then try to tell me this species isn't a cousin of human apes. If you had any common sense you would call this photo powerful evidence for our evolutionary relationship with chimpanzee apes.

I look at this picture and I see us.
ReplyDeleteA mother and father with their baby. The father playing with the little feet thinking (i am sure) wow look at this little guy we made and I am his daddy.
That is us.
Evolution deniers not only don't have any sense; they have no empathy either.
Mr. Brannan, I had the exact same reaction to this picture of a chimpanzee family. Substitute human apes for the chimpanzee apes and there would be nothing else to change. The photo shows how much chimpanzees are like humans and how much people are like chimpanzees. Which makes sense since they are our closest non-human cousins.
