Calling all Aetheists....If you are so sure....where is the name of the "crossover" species we evolved from?

Question

It hasn't been found yet........or will it ever be. And please, no web sites, just an answer if you can speak for yourself.

OK get over the spelling have you heard of a typo.

How come there are so many different answers..

When did humans and monkeys split and become two different species?

Where is this transitional fossil?

Evolution shows that what something has evolved from that previous species has become extinct. How come other apes are still here. And if we are becoming bettere than our previous generations how do we compare to apes in intelligence? So one species evolved millions of years later to be smart and the other not so smart yet we come from the same goo right? Of course I mean Christians being the lesser of the two. The evolutionists must be the smarter ;^)

Answer 1

Homo erectus.

Everything is a transitional animal. Your parents passed their genes on to you, and your body is more advanced (in an extremley small fraction) than your parents. This goes on for millions of years and you have a new species. Not everything fossilizes, we only have a small number of homo fossils.

Answer 2

A crossover species isn't necessary to prove microevolution, just to fill in the blanks of macroevolution. However, since I will assume that you are, yet again, another person asking a question about evolution without ever having picked up a text book, performed a lab experiment, or taken a class, I will go with Homo erectus or homo habilis, shoot why not Australopithecus afarensis since the finer points of evolution (that it is not linear and looking for "crossovers" doesn't even make real good sense) are being ignored. When you consider genetic bottlenecks or the possibility of interbreeding populations, you have to understand that "species" is just a word we use to make it easier to classify and understand, not some physical reality stamped into the genetic code. Things change over time, that is the important point. When you consider the span of millions of years, that's a lot of time to change. Human populations today are taller then they were a few hundred years ago. That has to with breeding populations and diet. Do we look for a "crossover" between the shorter generations and the taller ones. No, that would be silly.

And, here goes again, we did not evolve from apes living today. We evolved from a common ancestor. Just as your great grandmother did not directly give birth to your mother, you or your many cousins, but she is a common ancestor to all of you. Do you expect your cousins to evolve into you?

Answer 3

Well, since you only want to hear one atheist's explanation, and are not interested in having any fact to back it up. I will explain right now.

In the beginning, we were all frogs. FROGS are all the existed. One day, the frogs all decided their lives were meaningless, (these frogs were signifigantly smarter than common day humans), so they all went to the burning acid pits. Upon throwing themselves into the acid pits, they did not die. They wanted to die, but they did not. They instead mutated into what we would now consider 'monkeys'. These monkeys were signifigantly dumber than before, flinging poop at each other.

These monkeys were common to live lives of 9 thousand years or more. Well after three generations of these 'monkeys', they devided. One group of monkeys led by LOTHANOX, the other led by ETHPION, (there were only capital letters at this time. ) the monkey leaders devided the monkey clans, and set war on each other. The top witch doctors of the ETHPION tribe, captured the LOTHANOX tribe. Every single LOTHANOXIAN was captured, and the witch doctors performed their black magic on them, turning them into ...HUMANS!...This is why we still have humans, and we still have Monkeys. EVERY Xian can understand this, it's all very clear. I just explained Evolution, and I dare you to prove the Biblical version is any more plausible.

Answer 4

> where is the name of the "crossover" species we evolved from?
There are a variety of hominid fossils. We don't know which are direct lineal ancestors, and which are "also-ran" extinct cousin species.
Probably Homo erectus and Homo habilis.

> How come other apes are still here.
We didn't evolve from modern apes, LOL. And no, speciation events don't kill off the parent species.

Answer 5

Humans, surely. We evolved from a regressed form of us. The regressed form no longer exists because it evolved into what human beings are today. Should I run over it again?
I see you imply later that we came from monkeys, so I'm assuming you don't know an awful lot about evolution.

Answer 6

It's not like there were ape like creatures, then viola humans evolved. There are many "cross-over" species. And the lines between them are not black and white. The closest we have now are homo erectus and homo habilus. Homo Neantratalus isn't a direct ancestor, more like a "cousin".

Answer 7

Who says it hasn't been found yet? And why the patronizing 'if you can speak for yourself?"

I note you don't request sources and cross-references, is that because you don't value them?

Can people just make this stuff up? Do you respect them more for that?

Sheesh.

PS: Ardipithecus ramidus (4.4 million years ago)


Update to your update:

Wow, where did you study evolution?

Answer 8

Do yourself a favor and look up the definition of Atheist.(Also, spelling). We simply have no beliefs in a god or gods since there is no evidence to prove or disprove it or them. You claim there is a god, you prove it.

Answer 9

what does evolution have to do with my lack of belief in your god?

They're two completely separate issues sweet cheeks.

even if evolution weren't true - I'd *still* be an atheist.

Get it?

Probably not

Answer 10

You keep looking for the smallest of gaps and when one gets filled in, you claim that two new ones have developed either side of the filling.

Remarkable.

Sorry, but you are in a losing battle.
