In what ways has this "creature" been shown to evolve into human?
Or
Is it already considered human?

Any info with "links" would be cool.

Thank you.

Neanderthals are not considered to be the ancestors of modern humans. They are a sister species. We are closely related, but we did not come from them.

Please remember I am a layman and will have no way to believe this. I'd like to see some linkage??

What is "linkage" going to do for you? If I gave you "linkage" that claimed that the tooth fairy was real would that convince you? Maybe you should consider actually investing some effort into educating yourself rather than demanding that someone else take charge of your education. Maybe you should consider going to the library and reading some real science books and some real science journals.

Or you can continue to look like a fool by demanding "proof" for what you don't understand.

Good luck.

Good luck.

What is the internet but a giant library?

I've looked around on the internet plus I studied biology/evolution somewhat in college and high school. No compelling evidence from what I saw. So anybody else know some?

Fool?

Thats a good one.

No my problem is I don't want to learn from the WRONG source. I need a good source that is well excepted by the evolutionary community.

Viti · 04-05-2002, 11:06 PM

excepted? Do you mean accepted? You should probably be studying the English language before trying to learn evolutionary theory via websites.

The link I provided is well researched and presents the basics.

Yes I mean accepted. Thanks though for attempting to demeanor my existence. It got me thinking about you but that is irrelevant.

You are allowed to exist with my full support...if you seriously want answers and will listen to the numerous professional scientists on this site, they will usually be happy to provide information.

And BTW everyone thinks about me at some point
