Ummm ok, look I'm not going to argue the validity of science, you can go look it up if you feel like it. I figured since you guys were interested in chimps that I would just fill in a few gaps. Obviously the photo I posted doesn't look much like us! We have changed a lot since then
I guess me quoting an Anthropology text is not much different than you quoting the bible. So to each his own...
But...there is not a conspiracy of any kind, the fossils of early mammals are quite real, as are the remains of our ancestors. I suppose if you hold the assumption that the principles of science are false, well there you have it.
