Rare 10 million-year-old fossil unearths new view of human evolution
University of Missouri analyzed this new pelvis and discovered that human bipedalism—or the ability for people to move on two legs—might possibly have deeper ancestral origins than previously thought.
"Rudapithecus was pretty ape-like and probably moved among branches like apes do now—holding its body upright and climbing with its arms," said Ward, a Curators Distinguished Professor of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences in the MU School of Medicine and lead author on the study. "However, it would have differed from modern great apes by having a more flexible lower back, which would mean when Rudapithecus came down to the ground, it might have had the ability to stand upright more like humans do. This evidence supports the idea that rather than asking why human ancestors stood up from all fours, perhaps we should be asking why our ancestors never dropped down on all fours in the first place."

Perhaps being too much exposed to religious people's mindset on internet? So even as a "joke" people can't help themselves but to react as if they have been battered with creationism and other religious idiocies which do seem to exist as some sort of authoritarian measure to batter people into submission by driving them mad.
Creationist imbeciles have already begun their shrill denials. See the comments section in this recent video:

It's Electron microscope scans of five fossilised human hairs from probably Homo heidelbergensis.

Mexico mammoths: Human-built woolly mammoth traps found in Tultepec
At least 14 woolly mammoth skeletons have been uncovered in Mexico in traps built by humans about 15,000 years ago.
The two pits in Tultepec north of Mexico City are the first mammoth traps to be discovered, officials say.
Early hunters may have herded the elephant-sized mammals into the traps using torches and branches.
The recent discovery of more than 800 mammoth bones could change our understanding of how early humans hunted the enormous animals.
