I know this is off-topic, but I don't know if you've seen it.
The DI has fired back about a certain recent hominid fossil.
Darnit, I'm still not finished reading the last Tangled Bank. I'm not a slow reader by any stretch, but there is only so much reading I can get away with in the office without getting busted.
Bachalon:
Again off-topic, but that article is yet another example of DI taking quotes out of context and twisting the author's intent.
From the DI article:
That is not the purpose of the study. The purpose of the study (available at http://mbe.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/17/1/2) is to propose an explaination why Homo and Australopithecus are so different. They completely mis-represent the study to suit their own needs.
DI article:
Uh-oh, an elipsis. With DI, that usually means they left out something important.
From the Journal of Molecular Biology and Evolution
Huh, early Homo Sapiens have characteristics from earlier species. Since that implies common descent, DI cuts it out of their article.
The Journal paper suggests that a small group of hominids were isolated from the rest of their species around two million years ago. They then evolved quite rapidly to their surroundings. This is completely different than the Goddidit crap DI is pushing.
From the DI site:
It certantly is.
