[FairfieldLife] Re: Human ancestors may have mated with chimps
Great post! I love this stuff. I think there is also evidence of Homo Sapien mating with Neanderthal back in the day. Early man was such a stud!

People who have trought accepting that we are descended from apes, and even some who are fine with the concept, will not be happy with this news about human origins. Not only were our ancestors related to chimpanzees, they carried on mating with them long after our family tree branches from theirs. It's not all as bad as it sounds. First, this startling idea is still only a hypothesis -- albeit the one that best explains the unexpectedly limited differences between our own genome and those of our nearest ape cousins, the chimpanzee and gorilla. To know for certain will take much more genomic detective work. Even if true, though, is is no sordid tale of scandal and perversion. After all, at the time any hybridization would have happened, oru ancestors had barely begun to walk upright and probably looked very much like the protochimps they interbred with. Instead, this new glimpse of our history serves as a lesson in how fuzzy the boundaries of a species can be, and in how evolution bumbles along without any grand plan. The article goes on to say that the apparent separation between species is often messier than simply being unable to interbreed; and also that entire family trees are messy. Regarding the divergence of amps and humans, the article says, At times it would have been hard to decide if there was one species or two: evolution just selected what worked. --- End forwarded message --- To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

It's easy to forget that the evolutionary tree we see so neatly mapped out in taxonomic charts is a pattern we have imposed on nature, not an organizational structure that is somehow inherent in nature.
