mustang1 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Hey all! I was reading through the yahoo headlines today and among the normal crap like the latest dribble about "dancing with the stars" and "who really won American Idol" bla bla bla ...who cares! I actually found something of real substance and value. It would appear that a huge leap in the understanding of our origin has been made. Thought you guys would like to read this very interesting article. http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/may...il-missing-link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought you guys would like to read this very interesting article. http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/may...il-missing-link Meh... there have been about 30 "missing links" found in the past decade or so. It's really a media phrase and biologists don't really like to use it, since it implies a single key that puts everything in it's place. She is an interesting find for both evolutionary biology, as well as archeology in general (since it she so well preserved). Cool, but just one more step in understanding human history and not a smoking gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Saw that on the news on TV 2-3 nights ago. Interesting, but far from conclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, but just one more step in understanding human history and not a smoking gun. I also dislike the term. As evolution is an ongoing process, everything is part of the link.
