Ardi, Temuan Paling Fenomenal di 2009

Penemuan kerangka manusia pura tertua bernama Ardi dianggap sebagai temuan paling penting tahun ini. Penemuan ini membuktikan bahwa manusia dan simpanse berevolusi secara terpisah. Dilansir melalui Berkeley Education, Kamis (31/12/2009), penemuan ini tidak hanya mencengangkan para ilmuwan tapi juga manusia. Secara tidak langsung temuan ini mematahkan teori Darwin yang menganggap manusia berevolusi dari kera. Sebelum menerbitkan temuannya, seluruh tim yang diketuai Tim White dari University of California, membutuhkan waktu 17 tahun untuk mencari dan menganalisa tengkorak Ardi dan ribuan fosil lainnya yang ditemukan bersamaan.

It's not as easy to dupe users as it used to be, but increasingly sophisticated social engineering strategies -- coupled with a growing acceptance of loss of control over one's personal data -- has made the Web a more dangerous neighborhood than ever.

The tale of this deathbed conversion has been passed down over the years as fact. This “event” has even been used as “evidence” that evolution is false. The overzealous have, at times, boldly proclaimed, “See—even Darwin knew that this theory was not true!” Early Report What is the basis for this story? As often as it is repeated, there must be credible evidence that these events actually took place, right? Surely, the tale would not have continued though the years if it were a lie? Sadly, when evidence is sought, there is little to support this story.
