Game changing face from 3.8 million years ago
September 8, 2019 at 2:21 pm
The face of an ancient human ancestor that lived 3.8 million years ago has been revealed by scientists following the discovery of a near-complete skull in Ethiopia's Woranso-Mille complex—an archaeological region that contains a trove of fossils relating to early human evolution.

The skull was found in 2016 by researchers working at the site. The international team dated it to 3.8 million years ago and, based on the morphological features, say it belongs to a male Australopithecus anamensis. This is a poorly understood early hominin species, the oldest in the Australopithecus genus. It was thought to have lived between 4.2 and 3.9 million years ago.
Until now, the craniofacial features of the species were almost completely unknown. Having a complete skull has now changed that. Researchers have named the specimen MRD, after its collection number MRD-VP-1/1.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I mostly opened this topic because I expected this kind of reaction ("opposing evolution") very soon from someone so the probable cause for this kind of reaction is some sort of PTSD.
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.

Did you know that human brains are specialized for face recognition while chimp brains are specialized for butt recognition?
