    Interesting.  But before any passing creotards get a hard on, no this won't turn evolution on its head.  It just tells us more about our early ancestors.

    True - It's simply another link or rather a different link.

    How come so many things are bign found in Ethiopia?  This fossil 4.2 million years ago, Lucy 3.2 million years ago (the first Humanoid) and the first human (250,000 years ago). 

    Did our ancestors only 'hang out' in one place?

    No but the horn of Africa is supposed to be the cradle of civilisations and the birthplace of humanity.

    Fossilisation is a very rare event, it only happens under certain conditions.  Its not where our ancestors hung out most that we find most fossils necessarily, but where soil conditions, climate, etc where right for fossilisation.

    I buy that theory. So the most likely scenario is that none of our ancestors were born in Ethipia, but some other African country?  Only some of their descendants were found there

    How is that telling two sides of the story? There is only one story-the truth

    Science is based around the truth

    Creationism is based around a fiction masterpiece called the bible.

    How are they even remotely the same?

    Got you

    Creationism is naturally stupid. I have never seen anyone with intelligence who seriously believes in creationism-nor have I ever seen an intelligent creationist argument

    I don't know how they find their way to the kitchen in the morning.

    The chances of a campfire giving birth to a kitchen are the same as the chances of an aeroplane being put together by a tornado.   Tongue
