Planeta Maimutelor Optiuni

[Figaro]

Daca evolutia omului ar fi decurs pe parcursul a miloane de ani, atunci numarul de verigilor de legatura ar fi fost nenumarate. Inca de cand tatuca Darwin a lansat ipoteza maimutelor antropomorfe evolutionistii au pornit o adevarata goana dupa veriga lipsa.

Farsele au fost penibile; unii au construit o adevarata istorie fantastica pe marginea unor masele sau fragmente de oase. Descoperirea fosilelor de Neanderthal si Cromagnon a constituit o farsa de proportii. Oase montate neglijent, acoperite cu ghips si blana au scos la iveala mult cautatele maimute antropomorfe.

Dosar:Much of the misconception appears to be centered around the first truly complete skeleton of the "Neanderthal Man" (Homo neanderthalensis), found at La Chapelle-aux-Saints (to the left). The skeleton was originally reconstructed by the French paleontologist and geologist Pierre Marcellin Boule. In this reconstruction, the skeleton was shown to have a severely curved spine indicative of a stooped, slouching stance and forward flexed hips. The knees were bent during walking and standing, and the head jutted forward. The low vaulted cranium and the large browridge, somewhat reminiscent of that seen in large apes such as gorillas, was taken to indicate a generally primitive early human and a lack of intelligence.  ....  In fact, when compared with a wider sample of Neanderthal and modern human remains, many of the features thought to have been unique to Neanderthals fall within the range of modern human variation. Indeed, Neanderthals turn out to be very similar to modern humans in many respects. Examination of the skeleton in the 1950's showed that the Old Man of La Chapelle suffered from "gross deforming osteoarthritis." Thus, the slouching posture of the original reconstruction may have been based on an unfortunate individual with a deforming disability.

In prezent evolutionismul nu dispune de nici o dovada clara a verigii lipsa. Scandalul Lucy (exemplarul descoperit in anii '70) s-a dovedit a fi un fals.
