Manusia keturunan Cro-Magnon atau keturunan Nabi Adam? Atau Nabi Adam itu manusia cro-magnon? HMNA: Manusia modern keturunan Cro-Magnon dan Cro-Magnon keturunan Adam + Hawa. Cro-Magnon tidak ada hubungan genetik dengan Neanderthal. Neanderthal adalah ujung evolusi dari cabang missing link. Silakan simak Seri 580 di bawah Salam BISMILLA-HIRRAHMA-NIRRAHIYM WAHYU DAN AKAL - IMAN DAN ILMU [Kolom Tetap Harian Fajar] 580. Evolusi dan Loncatan Hari ini tgl. 22 Juni, adalah hari lahir Piagam Jakarta. Akan tetapi materi tentang Piagam Jakarta telah diserap oleh judul RUU Sisdiknas, sehingga dipersilakan membaca Seri 579 yang baru lalu. *** Iqra, bacalah. Apa yang dibaca? Yaitu informasi dari ayat Qawliyah (Al Quran) dan ayat Kawniyah (alam syahadah, universum). Informasi itu diolah melalui proses dengan metode tertentu, dan hasilnya itulah ilmu, seperti ditunjukkan dalam diagram: ++ informasi->| proses |->ilmu ++ Proses dengan metode tertentu adalah seperti berikut: 1. iqra, mengobservasi informasi (ayat Qawliyah dan Kawniyah) 2. tafsir / interpretasi yang menghasilkan teori 3. ujicoba teori dengan merujukkannya pada ayat Qawliyah dan Kawniyah Maka dalam konteks judul di atas, tulang-belulang diobservasi kemudian diadakan interpretasi atas tulang belulang itu, hasilnya teori evolusi. Diujicoba dengan ayat Qawliyah. -- ALDZY KHLQ FSWY (S. ALA'ALY, 87:2), dibaca: -- Alladzi- khalaqa fasawwa-, artinya: -- (Allah Yang Maha Pencipta dan Pengatur) mencipta lalu menyempurnakan. Teori evolusi tidak tertolak, namun perubahan makhluq dari mulai dicipta ke sempurna, tidak mesti evolusi saja. Diujicoba kepada ayat Kawniyah. Ternyata ada loncatan dari manusia purba ke manusia berakal. Manusia masa kini tidak memiliki hubungan genetik dengan manusia Neanderthal, manusia purba yang hidup di daratan Eropa dan Asia barat dan tengah, demikian hasil temuan para peneliti di Italia yang dipublikasikan Selasa, 13 Mei 2003. Giorgio Bertorelle dan timnya dari universitas Florence, Italia, telah meneliti dengan mengambil DNA dari beberapa tulang nenek moyang manusia modern Cro-Magnon yang hidup di Perancis selatan 25 ribu hingga 23 ribu sebelum masehi, lalu dibandingkan dengan DNA Neanderthal yang hidup antara 42 ribu hingga 29 ribu tahun sebelum Masehi. Hasil temuan tersebut menunjukkan manusia Cro-Magnon nenek moyang manusia modern itu tidak mempunyai hubungan genetik sama sekali dengan manusia purba tersebut. Jadi perubahan itu berwujud evolusi dan loncatan. Maka ada dua masalah, yaitu mekanisme evolusi dan mekanisme loncatan. *** Mengenai mekanisme evolusi, Darwin berteori dengan paradigma filsafat positivisme, yaitu "blind evolution by chance", perubahan perlahan-lahan secara untung-untungan, yaitu cecara lempar dadu. Darwin melihat evolusi sebagai analogi dari "motion" dalam kinematika, karena itu dia mencari "mechanism of evolution" dan menemukan "principle of natural selection", asas seleksi alam sebagai hukum dasar mekanika evolusi. Tetapi "mechanical laws" dari teori Darwin tidak kuantitatif, jadi tidak mampu memprediksi apa yang akan terjadi. Teori Darwin itu hanya dapat menjelaskan apa yang sudah terjadi. Di sinilah kelemahan yang pertama teori Darwin. Maka lahirlah neo-darwinisme di abad 20 dengan dimasukkannya teori statistik, teori permainan lempar dadu (probabilitas) dalam teori evolusi modern. Namun ada kelemahan mendasar lain yang tidak mampu ditanggulangi oleh neo-darwinisme yaitu Paradoks Entropi Evolusi dan Paradoks Revolusi-Evolusi. Paradoks Entropi Evolusi ialah kenyataan adanya peningkatan kompleksitas, yaitu munculnya spesies yang lebih kompleks secara struktural ataupun secara behavioral, misalnya munculnya organisme multiselular (lompatan kompleksitas struktural) dan munculnya manusia dengan kesadarannya (lompatan kompleksitas behavioral/fungsional). Di sini pulalah kelemahan yang kedua teori Darwin, tidak dapat menjelaskan mekanisme loncatan ini. Paradoks Revolusi-Evolusi ialah kenyataan adanya titik-titik diskontinuitas dalam keseluruhan proses evolusi yang perdefinisi adalah gradual, yaitu adanya gap dalam rangkaian khronologis fosil. Orang filsafat menyebutnya paradoks, tapi di bidang sains disebut sebagai anomali yaitu ketidak-sesuaian antara fakta pengamatan dengan predisksi berdasar atas teori yang ada. Inilah kelemahan yang ketiga teori Darwin. *** Kalau memakai paradigma petunjuk Al Quran, maka mekanisme

Re: [wanita-muslimah] Child fossil find may be man's missing link
- Original Message - From: "sunny" To: Sent: Monday, April 05, 2010 01:36 Subject: [wanita-muslimah] Child fossil find may be man's missing link http://www.theage.com.au/world/child-fossil-find-may-be-mans-missing-link-20100404-rll2.html Child fossil find may be man's missing link RICHARD GRAY, LONDON April 5, 2010 A skeleton discovered in South Africa has scientists abuzz. A ''MISSING link'' between humans and their ape-like ancestors has been discovered. The new species of hominid, the evolutionary branch of primates that includes humans, will be revealed when the 2-million-year-old skeleton of a child will be unveiled this week. Scientists believe the almost-complete fossilised skeleton belonged to a previously unknown type of early human ancestor that may have been an intermediate stage as ape-men evolved into the first species of advanced humans, Homo habilis. Experts who have seen the skeleton say it shares characteristics with Homo habilis, whose emergence 2.5 million years ago is seen as a key stage in the evolution of our species. The discovery could help rewrite the history of human evolution by filling in crucial gaps in scientific knowledge. Most fossilised hominid remains are little more than scattered fragments of bone, so the find of an almost-complete skeleton will allow scientists to answer key questions about what our early ancestors looked like and when they began walking upright on two legs. Palaeontologists and human evolutionary experts behind the discovery have kept silent about the exact details of what they have uncovered, but the scientific community is abuzz with anticipation of the announcement of the find on Thursday. Professor Lee Berger, of the University of the Witwatersrand, found the skeleton while exploring cave systems in the Sterkfontein region of South Africa, near Johannesburg, an area known as ''the cradle of humanity''. The find is deemed so significant that South African President Jacob Zuma has visited the university to view the fossils and a media campaign with television documentaries is planned. Professor Phillip Tobias, an eminent human anatomist and anthropologist at the university who was one of three experts to first identify Homo habilis as a species of human in 1964, described the latest discovery as wonderful and exciting. He is one of the few scientists outside the research group behind the discovery who have seen the skeletons. ''To find a skeleton, as opposed to a couple of teeth or an arm bone, is a rarity. It is one thing to find a lower jaw with a couple of teeth, but it is another thing to find the jaw joined on to the skull, and those in turn uniting further down with the spinal column, pelvis and the limb bones,'' he said. ''It is not a single find, but several specimens representing several individuals.'' The fossil skeleton was found along with several other partially complete fossils, encased in breccia sedimentary rock inside a limestone cave known as Malapa cave. The fossil record of early humans is notoriously patchy and scientists hope these remains will provide fresh clues about how our species evolved. Scientists believe a group of ape-like hominids, Australopithecus, which first emerged in Africa about 3.9 million years ago, gradually evolved into the first Homo species. About 2.5 million years ago, Homo habilis, the first species to be described as distinctly human, began to appear. ### HMNA: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3023685.stm The latest research by Giorgio Bertorelle and his team from the University of Ferrara in Italy, compared genetic material from Neanderthals, Cro-Magnon humans and 21st-Century Europeans. The DNA from the Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons was taken from their bones. The genetic material was extracted from cell structures called mitochondria rather than the nucleus. The scientists found that while, unsurprisingly, modern humans show clear genetic signs of their Cro-Magnon ancestry, no such link between Neanderthal DNA and modern man DNA could be established. ## It is thought the fossil to be unveiled this week will be identified as a new species that fits between Australopithecus and Homo habilis.
