Missing link/Reptilian?

[aonghus36]

Hi, scientists (I assume) have found a missing link, and it looks reptilian to me. The word reptilian isn't metioned throughout there entire article, though, I don't believe. It continuously calls it a primate, and it may be, in part. Here is the link to the article, which has an accompaning video.

Yeah, ive thought about this, it looks more like a reptilian than a primate
Seems to have a lizard shape about it

But then, i know very little about fossilised remains.

Yeah, I'll bet NWO is daring someone to say, "Reptilian" so they can taunt us with the words "tinfoil hat" and "conspiracy nut". I'd taught them back with the words "coincidence theorist".

I to thought it looked Reptilian :eek:


but im defiantly no paleontologist :D

Hmm.. Isn't the 'missing link' suppose to be a link between Ape & Man? - this to me seems something per-ape.. if not on the evolutionary time-line, surely in a 'biological make-up' sense? Or we've gone from apes - reptile-like mammalian (with a tail) to primates - cro-magnon - homo sapiens-sapiens?? doesn't make much logical sense to me.. & chances are if someone can be bothered doing a bit of research into the possible carbon dating of this 'new find' & relates it back to current 'evolutionary models' - they could perhaps bunk this fucker right outa the water.. :p

Are these scientists being serious? I so wish they are doing a 'conceal the fantastic truth operation' - yet, they're most likely genuinely proposing it as a 'sound theory'.. which is quite sad TBH. Granted, tis tough (ATM) to accept that we have been Genetically 'Upgraded' or Genetically created/engineered/'infused' - by an 'off-world' & far more advanced species - from abundant sources of DNA (the origins of which is the 'key') on Earth, simply because there is no 'solid scientific evidence'.. Tis not that hard-a-pill to swallow..

Still, science is completely unable to answer the simple question (regardless of wot & where they insert new 'pieces of the puzzle'); If we purely evolved from apes - why are there still apes on Earth?? :rolleyes:

Fuckin' Word..??? :D

its a Kowakian monkey-lizzard.

when are we going to see jabba?

A "sculpture" of it will probably end up in that bloody stupid creation museum playing with fibreglass children in Fred Flintstone outfits, the laughing stocks! :p

I think the theory is that our ape-like ancestors diverted from actual apes in evolution, perhaps, millions of years ago; rather than us being decended from modern apes.

Yea, yea.. juz a 'special' faction of rogue apes started to spend less time in the trees?? now that's hard science! :rolleyes: Heard it all before.. :p

Such a small Universe we live in, eh? :rolleyes:

Actually as for it looking reptilian, it looks more like a dog to me, then dog skeletons could look reptilian, so unless one is an absolute expert in palaeontology, it's impossible for the layman to make a quick judgement.
