The highlight of the extensive fossil trove was a female skeleton a million
years older than the iconic bones of Lucy, the primitive female figure that has
long symbolized humankind's beginnings.
An international research team led by paleoanthropologist Tim White at the
University of California, Berkeley, unveiled on Thursday remains from 36 males,
females and young of an ancient prehuman species called Ardipithecus ramidus,
unearthed in the Awash region of Ethiopia starting in 1994. The creatures take
their scientific name from the word for "root" in the local Afar language. They
aren't the oldest known fossils of hominids -- as prehuman species and their
relatives are called -- but constitute the most complete set discovered so far.
"It is not a chimp, and it is not human," said Dr. White. "It gives us a new
perspective on our origins. We opened a time capsule from a time and place that
we knew nothing about."

As I understand it, the fossil is not a new species but rather a more
complete example of an earlier finding that was just part of a foot or leg
bone.
But it does display some type of transition to homosapiens sapiens.

If that is true than Christian nations are doomed. Joshua was as liberal as
he could be. According to the story, he was even hung on a stake for his
political/social liberalism.
Therefore if you live in the US, you can be thankful we are not a Christian
nation, else according to your opinion we will become extinct.

Will NBC be surprised??*
Here's your chance to let the media know where the people stand on our
faith in God, as a nation..
NBC is presently taking a poll on "In God We Trust" to stay on our
American currency.
Please send this to every Christian you know so they can vote on this
important subject.
Please do it right away, before NBC takes this off their web page.
Poll is still open so you can vote:

History shows otherwise.
Note that it was Bush that led to the extinction of the Republican
Party.

Well the liberals needed to have some pets around.
I do find it entertaining to teach new tricks to the wingers here.

Ever read the Treaty of Tripoli ratified by Congress? The NBC deal is a
public opinion poll. Opinion does not necessarily equal fact. If they
were around in 1200 and took a PUBLIC opinion poll about whether the earth
was a spheroid or flat, how do you suppose it would turn out? Would that
opinion have been a true fact?
Because the public might be ignorant of US history does not make their
opinion correct.

Wingers are linear thinkers with blinders on. They can't tell the
difference between some imagined straight line of descent from the bush
(tree) of life as espoused by evolution.

Being kicked out of your country (circa 134 CE) under penalty of death can
produce remarkable changes, including inventing Christianity.
