Human Origins Stories Incompatible with Known Fossils - American Museum of Natural History

Three stories showing that science is sometimes wrong, sometimes incomplete, and sometimes wrongly dismissive. The narrative for hominin origins is a big mess, according to Sergio Almécija, a senior research scientist in the American Museum of Natural History’s Division of Anthropology, "there’s no consensus whatsoever." The key sticking point: fossil apes are essential to reconstruct the "starting point" from which humans and chimpanzees evolved; living apes alone offer insufficient evidence of hominin evolution. And now the Discovery of new geologic process calls for changes to plate tectonic cycle. New research shows that the plates on which Earth's oceans sit are being torn apart by massive tectonic forces far from the boundaries of two colliding plates, where the damage was once thought to be limited. And science is only now starting to pay attention to The Myths That Hint at Past Disasters. The new field of geomythology suggests that old myths and fables are not just stories but actually contain evidence of environmental disasters of the past. (PH)
