- One of the things that amuses me when skeptics insist on "evidence" for
- paranormal phenomena is the marked lack of evidence for the various theories
- describing mankinds origins. There are numerous fossil finds that *could*
- represent an ancestor species, but given that neandertal man was
- contemporary to and a parallel branch to the homo-sapiens-sapiens line,
- there is no way anyone can say that any particular hominid fossil is
- definitely an ancestor. What is missing is the intermediate life forms (the
- so-called "missing links" that would show a transition from one species to
- another. Given the immensity of time, it is not surprising that by chance
- some hominids fell into circumstances where their bones could be fossilized,
- but considering that a transitional form likely only occurred for a few
- generations before mixing with the gene pool "stabilized" the new form,
- there isn't much likelihood of one being found.
-
- As far as "primates" go, there actually is a parallel record of species
- development in the fossil record that can be interpreted as showing a
- "branch", or more precisely, a common ancestor, millions of years back.
- Hominids did not appear "suddenly", though the final transition to modern
- man is poorly represented in the fossil record. Sometimes I still wonder....
