today my google homepage thing randomly gave me a quote which i think is so appropriate it must have been placed there by allah or someone with similar powers:

Quote of the Day

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.
- Albert Einstein

Breaking news: Scientists have filled in the blanks with........more speculation :yelwink2:

>>Link<<

researchers from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard were able to learn not just when, but a little bit about how the sister species arose.

"For the first time, we're able to see the details written out in the DNA," said Eric Lander, founding director of the Broad Institute. "What they tell us at the least is that the human-chimp speciation was very unusual."

The researchers hypothesize that an ancestral ape species split into two isolated populations about 10 million years ago, then got back together after a few thousand millennia.

At that time the two groups, though somewhat genetically different, would have mated to form a third, hybrid population. That population could have interbred with one or both of its parent populations.

For one thing, the new data suggest the human-chimp split was much closer to the present than the 7-million-year date that fossils and previous studies indicate — certainly no earlier than 6.3 million years ago, and more likely in the neighborhood of 5.4 million.

The data also show that the human-chimp split probably took millions of years.

That's because in some parts of the DNA sequence, the genetic difference between humans and chimps is so large that those genes must have been isolated from each other nearly 10 million years ago.

But in other places, the human and chimp lines are so close that they appear to have still been swapping genetic material at least until 6.3 million years ago.

Whatever. Everyone knows that a space ship with aliens came and inhabited the earth and we are a result of that. Tom Cruise says so.

HA! Evolving from monkeys they say...

nah, it was an omnipotent and omniscient alien superbeing and he willed everything to exist in 7 days then sent his alien son from space down in human form to be killed to forgive the beings he created for not playing by the rules.
