Another Bullet Into Evolution Theory, But Why A Title Like That?

" Fossils paint new picture of human evolution

CHICAGO - AN ancient skull and upper jawbone from two early branches of the human family tree - Homo erectus and Homo habilis - suggest the early human ancestors may have lived close together for half a million years, researchers said on Wednesday.

The fossils, discovered in eastern Africa, challenge the understanding that humans evolved one after another like a line of dominoes, from ancient Homo habilis to Homo erectus and eventually to Homo sapiens, or modern people.

'There has been a view that has suggested habilis very slowly evolved into erectus,' said Susan Anton, a professor of anthropology at New York University. 'Now we have the two cohabitating, so that can no longer be the case.' The research, published in the journal Nature, was conducted by nine scientists including Prof Anton, paleontologist Meave Leakey and her daughter Louise Leakey, both explorers in residence at the National Geographic Society, and Fred Spoor of University College London.!

Both fossils were found in 2000 east of Lake Turkana in Kenya as part of the Koobi Fora Research Project, which is affiliated with the National Museums of Kenya."

What I am not really about is that the media at large STILL could not accept the fact that evolution is still a farce as far as I am concerned. One look at the title the first impression one immediate get is that there's another theory that has substantiate the theory of evolution.

How wrong was that impression, as represented by the picture of an ape slowly evolving into modern man! As of now, these scientists from National Geographic (no doubt a proponent of evolution) has to back track in some assumptions following this revelation.

Time to really consider the claims of evolution!

The article clearly shows that
