Contrary to current newspaper reports, a new identification of a 10,000,000-year-old fossil as "humanoid" does not refute Darwin's theory of evolution, two University faculty members claimed yesterday.
Because the "humanoid" Oreopithecus was a contemporary 10,000,000 years ago of proconsul and dryopithecus, these two apes could not have been ancestors of man, as they have often been considered. Although Hurzeler's thesis proves that man had a long history separate from the apes, Howells denied that...
Howells explained that Darwin was concerned primarily with proving how evolution takes place through natural selection rather than with tracing the ancestry of man. Hurzeler's theory, Howells says, does not disprove the belief of Darwin and of modern scientists that men and apes probably had a common ancestry. The...
