Oldest known human ancestor rewrites evolution theories

[YukonJack]

"I don’t know, Tonington. Dinosaurs were smart enough not to fight among themselves (also not to turn the whole earth into a garbage dump), perhaps that is why they survived that long."

They were also smart enough to develop TV, radio, telephone, printing, reading, schools, computers, books, medicine (admittedly, not yet perfect) and so on and so forth. RIGHT???

The argument, in quotes, above is a stillborn and idiotic nonsense of a blind and deaf liberal.

I don’t know, Tonington. Dinosaurs were smart enough not to fight among themselves (also not to turn the whole earth into a garbage dump), perhaps that is why they survived that long. Humans aren’t that smart, we fight and kill each other.

Dinos never killed each other? They were ALL herbivores? wow Science sure has been wrong about that.

[lone wolf]

Hell... I would kill Barney!

 

[AnnaG]

I was thinking about that show the other day. I loved it and wish they'd bring it back. Instead what we get is "reality" shows. Progress, huh? Go figure.

 

[AnnaG]

Hell... I would kill Barney!

.... and I'd like to do nasty things to the ditz who came up with the Barney tune.

1. Survivng for 160 million years has very little to do with the computing power of an organisms nervous system, if it even has one. It is the fitness of that organism, how it interacts with it's environment that really matters. That could be due to a sophisticated brain, or something else completely unrelated.
2. Comparing Dinosaur's to humans is like comparing Exopterygota to the polar bear. Thousands of species, in a very long and diverse lineage of fossil phylogenies compared to a single species. That is a nonsensical comparison to make in an evolutionary thread.
3. They survived long because they were well adapted to the environment. They would not do very well today, where mammals dominate food webs.

Trees managed to survive for lots longer than a few million years and they don't fight amongst themselves either. They must be absolutely brilliant.

 

[petros]

Trees eat their dead. Cool huh?

 

[AnnaG]

Trees eat their dead. Cool huh?

Yeah. So do mushrooms. They must be closely related.

 

[Goober]

Yeah. So do mushrooms. They must be closely related.

So if there was a down ward evolution I finally understand JBeee and him being fascinated by bananas. Wonder how the kids turn out eh?

It was a light hearted comment, Tonington. I didn’t think you would take it seriously. I do appreciate the effort you took in answering it though.

 

[taxslave]

Who taught 'em how to use the Court?

White lawyers.

 

[L Gilbert]

I don’t know, Tonington. Dinosaurs were smart enough not to fight among themselves (also not to turn the whole earth into a garbage dump), perhaps that is why they survived that long. Humans aren’t that smart, we fight and kill each other.

roflmao Yeah, dinosaurs were the paragons of peace.

 

[L Gilbert]

White lawyers.

Dead right. Then some of those natives became lawyers themselves and so on, so forth.
The geniuses that thought they could be superior to the natives and "enlighten" them with new languages, religion, etc. shot themselves in the foot there.

Oh... my mistake I guess. I don't really find the fact that humans kill other humans, or that we pollute indiscriminately to be lighthearted topics...

:-?

 

[catman]

I won't accept this as evidence until Sarah Palin approves.

 

[Walter]

She sort of looks like a girl I knew in highschool...

Did we go to the same high school? I think she had bigger tits, though.

 

[Goober]

I won't accept this as evidence until Sarah Palin approves.

Thai would mean that JBeee and Sarah are kin - Proves my theory of evolution in regression - Back to the goatherd.

 

[In Between Man]

I wait, on baited breath, to read what the mouth-breathers say
