I've never really understood why people get excited about this sort of thing. If you are stupid enough to reject the theory of evolution in favor of some anachronistic brand of convoluted superstition you may find this news a little disturbing. Otherwise how could a rational person possibly find it significant, one way or another, which particular species of bonobo or chimp we are actually descended from. The question of identifying the precise ancestors of modern man may be of interest to specialists but for the rest of us its just a trivial pursuit question really. I agree KConsciousness.

However, Dr. Yaowalak has found a way to make Darwinism equally arrogant.
