Its a shame that there are precious few hard facts when it comes to the origin of life... the how part has everybody stumped. Nobody knows how a mixture of lifeless chemicals spontaneously organized themselves into the first living cell. Paul Davies (Australian Centre for Astrobiology, Macquarie Univ.), Born Lucky, New Scientist, Vol. 179 (2403):32, July 12, 2003 6. NO SEEDNO SEED NO TRUNKNO TRUNK 7.

Nebraska Man as depicted in the Illustrated London News They did NOT have: A complete skeleton A complete skull A complete jaw 15. All they did have in its entirety was: A SINGLE MOLAR TOOTH! 16. What were the tactics used to ascertain the details of this sketch? If you squeeze a tooth long enough and hard enough you can force it to confess to anything! 17. Full examination results finally published in Scientific American, Dec. 16, 1927. Nebraska Man turned out to be neither an ape nor a man. It actually turned out to be: A PIG! 18. Piltdown Man was based on fossil specimens found by Charles Dawson near Piltdown, England in 1912. 19. From 1912 to 1953 Piltdown Man reigned supreme in our textbooks and museums. Scores of books, pamphets and articles were published about Piltdown Man. 20. Piltdown Man is now recognized as one of the most spectacular and longest enduring frauds in the history of modern science. 21. Boxgrove Man Artists Reconstructions One shin bone 22.

Almost always when I have tried to check the anatomical claims on which the status of Australopithicus is based, I have ended in failure...the Australopithecine skull is in fact so overwhelmingly simian as opposed to human that the contrary proposition could be equated to an assertion that black is white.
