   And I hereby quote:   
      
   : But humans are not descended from monkeys   
   : or any other primate living today. We do share   
   : a common ape ancestor with chimpanzees. It   
   : lived between 8 and 6 million years ago.

   #1. WRONG! We do descend from a monkey. The   
   divergence point was long, Long, LONG after   
   monkeys evolved. Our common ancestor with   
   monkeys simply had to be a money. Period.   
      
   #2. WRONG! Our divergence point with Chimps   
   is far more recent. The dates given are based   
   upon long ago falsified assumptions on mtDNA.   
   If you expand your view to the y chromosome   
   alone you peel more than a million years off THE   
   LOWER date given. But the y chromosome is   
   under heavy selection, it exaggerates age as   
   well. Expanding our look at the entire genome   
   and your "Molecular dating" gets things down   
   before 4 million years. And, quite frankly, there   
   is no evidence to rule out a date some 2 million   
   years more recent than that!   
      
   ...going by the fossil evidence, Chimps   
   didn't even exist until 0.5 million years ago!   
      
   So if we don't have fossils that point to a split   
   even 6 million years ago, and the DNA certainly   
   can't support such an old event, where do they   
   get off pretending it might've happened as far   
   back as 8 million years?   
      
   What they mean, or at least i hope, is that Chimps   
   were a separate & distinct POPULATION, even if   
   they were still the same species. And that they   
   separated AS A POPULATION, while remaining the   
   exact same species, maybe as far back as 6 to   
   8 million years ago.   
      
   That's probably what they mean, I hope, but it's   
   still unsupportable bullshit.
