Goodness me! How do you humans calculate these numbers?

A recent discovery of the skull of an ape has regurgitated the arguments about ‘Missing Links’ [creatures between humans and apes]  who lived millions of years ago. This was deduced from the fact that a poor little ape’s skull was dug up from volcanic ash from a so-called “Middle Miocene” eruption which occurred ‘thirteen million years ago’.

(The Earth is actually almost 6.000 years old according to Chimpanzee Calculations.)

The name of this creature is ‘Nyanzapithecus Alesi’. (Sounds like some modern-day French/Italian racing driver! How do they dream these names up?

One report goes on to say that ‘Nyanzapithecus Alesi’ provides an important link between apes and humans. Really? In the Speaking of Science newsletter, the lead research scientist for the project, Professor Isaiah Nengo, stated “to find this little baby that perished in volcanic ash 13 million years ago….its a glimpse of what our prehuman stage looked like.” (Professor Nengo has taken the skull back to Kenya for further research in his study of the role of babies in the evolution of apes and humans.)

Being a sceptical, thinking chimpanzee, I did further research on this latest discovery.  Another scientist – a sceptic like myself – stated, ‘We should understand that it is what it is – an ape. And it’s not what it’s not – an ancestor of humans!’

This skull may be the skull of one of the lesser apes babies. (Of course, all my readers are aware that there are distinctive types of apes differentiated according to size and location.)

The two types of Lesser Apes:

• Gibbons (SE Asia)
• Siamangs (SE Asia).

The four types of Great Apes:

• Gorillas (Africa)
• Bonobos (Africa)
• Orangutans (SE Asia)
• Chimpanzees (Africa)
