Further Malarkey with Human Evolution

Proclaimers of human evolution from apelike ancestors have had numerous failures, partly from using very few fossils, but mainly from being driven by naturalistic presuppositions so they can prop up their narrative. While there are mistakes in science, many of these should not have happened in the first place.

Hesperopithecus was going to be used as evidence for evolution, but Nebraska Man was built entirely from the tooth of an extinct pig. The "evidence" was imagination and artwork. Eoanthropus dawsoni fooled most scientists for over forty years, but Piltdown Man was not so super because it was fraud. Those are two glaring examples, but other candidates for our alleged ancestors were built up from next to nothing, and eventually abandoned.

While keyboard warriors insist that creationists are stupid for rejecting evolution, they are full of sound and fury, signifying nothing because they use outdated and even discarded evolutionary evidence. Indeed, there is only so much that can be determined from scattered bone fragments. Homo erectus is considered by some to be the best candidate for our ancestor, but he is being obstreperous and showing his humanity, not his apelike nature. The evidence continues to affirm that God created humanity and everything else recently.

The evolutionary paleoanthropologist needs to determine, “Where in our ancestry does the ‘human’ part of ‘human evolution’ begin?” In other words, how far back in time must must we travel for a proposed ancestor to be considered non-human, and instead be describable as an ape walking on two legs? What’s needed to qualify an animal as ‘human’?

Bone fragments are not going to tell us much. Some odd-looking individuals we know were fully human (because they lived in the not too distant past, and we have documentation from others that knew them to be fully human). But if all one saw were the bones, their humanness would be questionable.
