LEARNING TO SPEAK SCIENCE (VIA BBOYS):

Fossil find pushes human-ape split back millions of years (AFP, Aug 24, 2007)

Ten million-year-old fossils discovered in Ethiopia show that humans and apes probably split six or seven million years earlier than widely thought, according to landmark study released Wednesday. [...]

The most startling implication of the find, the scientists agree, is that our human progenitors diverged from today's great apes -- including gorillas, orangutans and chimpanzees -- several million years earlier than widely accepted research based on molecular genetics had previously asserted.


Where the Darwinist uses the term "widely accepted" they mean "this week's fairytale.'
