Amazing find in 12 meters of water, a huge settlement where they were making boats 8000 years ago!
no claim that boat making was taking place 8000 years ago. The sea may
not have been there in 5000 or 4000 B.C. either. She is only guessing.
P.S. She could have said the sea was not there in 16000 B.C. and I would
agree, but that proves nothing about when the boats were made. I guess
I should be careful about quoting someone saying B.C. That might be
considered too spiritual.

Looking for other references to ancient boatmaking, I came across this page:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/10/091001-oldest-human-skeleton-ardi-missing-link-chimps-ardipithecus-ramidus.html
The information is more than two years old, but I missed out on hearing about it then. I found it fascinating, as it seems to support the theory that humans are not necessarily descended from apes, but rather than humans and apes share a common ancestor. Has anyone seen any further references to this species named Ardipithecus ramidus ?

Humans are also Monkeys, Primates, Mammals, Vertebrata, Chordata, Animals, and fit within various other classifications. You'll notice that some people will reject the Monkey and Ape classifications but accept that we are Mammals. Just goes to show how illogical people can be when their ego is involved.

This is, I repeat, nothing new to any biologist, or to anyone who has an honest (honest, Hindsey!) interest in evolution.

There never was a missing link. The missing link is not a link at all. Men and apes share many ancestors, but only a fundamentalist nutjob believes that evolution is supposed to make men descend from chimpanzees, and demand a missing link between them.

life forms is the designer. The animals that have a common ancestor are
within the same "Kind". A monkey is a not the same "Kind" as man. It
does not make any difference if man decides to classify them within the
same category because of common traits they are still different "kinds".
One "kind" of animal can not reproduce an animal outside its "kind". 😏

Even if we found one you wouldn't believe it so what's the difference?
Thats was a rhetorical question.
