are you proposing that evolution allows for imperfections in humans, whereas creation does not? Evolution not only allows for imperfections, but predicts that they will be there. Much is made of how perfectly adapted various creatures are for their niche in life but close examination shows most are a series of compromises. The creatures must make do with the body plan of their ancestors as a starting point toward any new feature that helps their survival. Any good creator could have done a much better job if they started fresh. TP Here's a new discovery copied from USA TODAY. A small web search will reveal many others, including list of new species that evolved in the last century. Skull may be clue to human evolution NEW YORK - As he cleaned the dust and encrusted dirt from the bone in a box of fossils, Henry Galiano found an important fossil - a human skull and one that may possibly be an important step in the evolution of man. An acquaintance walking by Galiano's shop from the nearby American Museum of Natural History helped identify it. Paleoanthropologists have concluded that the skull is a genuine specimen from Indonesia up to 1 million years old, and offers clues to a possible connection between Homo erectus, the ancient race that spread from Africa into Asia up to 2 million years ago, and Homo sapiens, or modern man. The skull, anywhere from 100,000 to 1 million years old, probably belonged to a male in his 20s, scientists said. The individual's brain was about half the size of that of Homo sapiens but within the range for Homo erectus.
