"Human"-Faced Missing Link Found in Spain? »

Posted By FunnyBoyz 6 months, 2 weeks ago in Science & Technology

An 11.9-million-year-old fossil ape species with an unusually flat, "surprisingly human" face has been found in Spain . The discovery suggests humans' ape ancestors split from primitive apes in Europe, not Africa— the so-called cradle of humanity— a new study says.

    Right-wing extremists don't like anything science...well, anything science-related that might prove their religion to be a myth. When it comes to using their cell phone to call home, their computer to surf the Net, their GPS to give them directions, their microwave to cook their TV dinner faster, or medical technology to save their lives, then it's OK.

    Otherwise, science sucks. 8P

      Interesting find. I am curious to what the area looked like 12 Million years ago. If you look at a map, Spain and Africa are almost touching. Was there a land bridge back then making the line between Africa and Europe a bit more fuzzy?
