from the replies of this thread, it would seem monkeys evolved from humans instead  tongue.gif

Charles Darwin's theory of evolution was from observing different species around the world. He also collected bones, feathers etc on his round the world trip on the HMS Beagle before bringing them back to London. From there, he came to the conclusion that identical living organisms can actually change their features to adpat to a new environment.

He however, never said anything about how a single species came to be.  Did fishies evolve from bacteria? or did the hibiscus come from a mango tree?

If humans really did evolve from monkeys, why can't we share body parts (transplants). Tasteless thought, but something to ponder about.

Well his theory basically describes how life all share a common ancestry. His theory puts forward the idea of natural selection of a species over a very long time period that over time may lead to a new organism.

He never conceded man's origins.

I'm so tired of these evolution and creationist arguments. Really, why do people insist on comparing these two thing on the same terms? What we need is to make sure that science stays science, and religion stays as just that.

Anyway full credit to TheDoer for doing a splendid job explaining things. If I could award you with some sort of title, I would. You win the internetz! thumbup.gif

Just an update on a latest finding:

Genetic material pulled from a pinky finger bone found in a Siberian cave shows a new and unknown type of pre-human lived alongside modern humans and Neanderthals, scientists reported on Wednesday.

"It is some new creature that has not been on our radar screen so far," said Svaante Paabo, a colleague of Krause's who specializes in analyzing ancient DNA.

And it would have lived near to both modern humans and Neanderthals. "There were at least three ... different forms of humans in this area 40,000 years ago," Paabo said.

Krause and Paabo are careful not to name the creature a new species just yet. They are now working to sequence nuclear DNA -- the DNA that makes up most of the genetic code, which will tell a great deal more about "Woman X".

So many, many more. And I mean, many.

I thought this section allows for "open-mindness" and not shunting out possibilities?
Establishes. Right. I know that. Heck, all the DNA-ness points to human. But ALL of the unusual features are yet to be explained as to "why" it is so. Including that elusive 'red-fibre' inside the skull that apparently can't be cut by a diamond saw.

So I can't confirm or deny that aliens = humans. However, if the skull is indeed having human-ish DNA, then it altogether proofs my 'idea' even more viable.

Here is an artists' rendition of the Starchild skull drawn into a physical form:

When I said "many more" I meant = pyramids, crop circles with sumerian symbols, etc.. these are the 'phenomena's' that when looked at from my idea reinstates it even more - - the Sumerian Gods were aliens.

Who can spot the logical fallacy in this statement?

Here's a good video on evolution which has some points most of us forget about like vestigial limbs, vestigial genes etc.

Please get back to the topic. Discussion of human civilisation doesn't really add anything to a thread about human evolution.
