Ardi and the human family tree

In this article, published by The Week, Casey Luskin of Discovery Institute is quoted: … And the bones to this “new alleged missing link” were so fragmented and delicate, said Casey Luskin in the Discovery Institute’s Evolution News & Views, that it took the team of scientists and “reconstructionists” 15 years to put Ardi together.

Richard Dawkins’s Jewish Problem

Deepening Darwin’s Dilemma
