Coming soon: our next stage, Homo evolutus.

[Drew_Ali]

And your definition for vestigial is too broad...............

You claim common descent........

So you can flippantly say that if any distant "relative" had a tail.......

The coccyx is a vestige of that former use...........

Hogwash.......

Illustrate this process in humans............

 

[Bodhi]

 

[Bodhi]

Orly?.?.?

First you say..

What your evolutionary science will not reveal is that the closest relative to humans in the animal kingdom is the pig........

Then you say..

[pigs] are sometimes called "horizontal humans". Although they are more distantly related to us than, for example, the great apes

 

[Bodhi]

[Drew_Ali]

Of course they will say "Although they are more distantly related to us than, for example, the great apes"

They also say.....

Blanket comparisons of all DNA sequences between species are not very meaningful."

However the facts remain.......

"As pig insulin differs from human insulin by only one amino acid, and pig insulin was administered successfully for the treatment of diabetic patients for decades until recombinant human insulin became available

Remarkably, in 1838 the first corneal xenotransplantation (from a pig) was performed in a patient, whereas the first corneal allograft (human-to-human) was not carried out until more than 65 years later, in 1905."

Researchers also discovered several health similarities between humans and pigs. Pigs share some of the same protein abnormalities as humans with obesity, diabetes, dyslexia, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

Similarly, researchers found that pigs have fewer endogenous retroviruses than many other animals, making pigs an important ally for more complex medical procedures like organ transplants.

"The pig genome is very important, maybe even more important than we once thought," Sang said. "It is very good for biomedical research advancements and it also looks to be a good resource for comparative studies of many other diseases."

[pigs] are more distantly related to us than... ...the great apes

^^^ None of this translates to mean pigs are more similar to humans than the great apes. Try again.

For the record..........

That quote was used to illustrate the way that genetic similarities are downplayed by science concerning the swine and human.........

Humans are more genetically similar to swine than any other animal............

Which is why...........

"As pig insulin differs from human insulin by only one amino acid, and pig insulin was administered successfully for the treatment of diabetic patients for decades until recombinant human insulin became available

Remarkably, in 1838 the first corneal xenotransplantation (from a pig) was performed in a patient, whereas the first corneal allograft (human-to-human) was not carried out until more than 65 years later, in 1905."

[Drew_Ali]

Again that was a quote, not my own words...... I have also provided the referance for the statement..........

*YOU FAIL THE GODS*

 

[Bodhi]

From your link:

many of the species used as donors [were] … sheep, rabbits, dogs, cats, rats, chickens, and pigeon
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3246856/

…not solely pigs.

And still...

[pigs] are more distantly related to us than ... the great apes
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3246856/

 

[Bodhi]

In know it was a quote. It's funny because you clearly didn't read thoroughly what you so poorly researched before posting

Some anthropologist. What school did you graduate from, bruh?

 

[Bodhi]

I'm asking because I want to write a letter explaining how disappointed I am.

 

[Drew_Ali]

Ga State.......

And I also clearly stated that the connection was downplayed by science.................

Now.....

What your evolutionary science will not reveal is that the closest relative to humans in the animal kingdom is the pig........

 

[Bodhi]

Nah, duke. What you clearly stated is that:

[pigs] are more distantly related to us than... ...the great apes

 

[Drew_Ali]

Whatever, duke....

There is nothing I can do about you ignoring my posts and trying to change shit up....................

My students would say I have done an excellent job here................

& attest to my academic rigor...............
