Any state of affairs that dates to eons ago can be referred to as “evolution” even when, as in this case, the facts imply the opposite. Source

#4 Story of 2021: Human Origins Research Is a Big Mess

American Museum of Natural History, Australopithecus afarensis, bipedalism, brain case, chimps, Darwin critics, Darwinists, Evolution, fossil record, Günter Bechly, hominins, homoplasy, human locomotion, Human Origins, humans, ID The Future, knuckle-walking, last common ancestor, Miocene apes, paleontology, rewriting, Sahelanthropus, Science (journal), Sergio Almécija, tree-climbing
Considering the number of fossils attributed to the human lineage, an absence of such fossils for the great African ape lineages raises an obvious suspicion. Source

Initially, Ardi was widely called the “oldest human ancestor,” due to its supposed skeletal traits that indicated an early bipedal (upright walking) species. Source

Photo source: Pixabay via Pexels.com. I have come to a conclusion. Perhaps if I had thought about it more carefully at first I would not be surprised. But it has only recently occurred to me that a great deal of the disturbance about evolution — yes, no, theistic, atheistic, guided, unguided, young earth, old earth, Darwinist , near-neutralist, whatever! is about human origins. Where did WE come from? Are we descended from primates or not? And what did God have to do with it? Nobody except specialist scientists would care if a little tree frog was descended from a lobe-finned fish, or was instead specially created with his special poison glands, unless it also had implications with regard to our origin. Not many would care except evolutionary biologists and entomologists…
