As David Brown of The Post reported this week:
"According to the new theory, chimps and humans shared
a common apelike ancestor much more recently than was
thought. Furthermore, when the two emerging species
split from each other, it was not a clean break. Some
members of the two groups seem to have interbred about
1.2 million years after they first diverged -- before
going their separate ways for good."

 

 

This genetic research by scientists from MIT and
Harvard raises interesting questions: about whether we
are descended from hybrids, about the nature of
species, about the very fundamentals of evolution. It
also, we think, pretty much ensures that "The
Flintstones" will never again be revived. After all,
who wants to see a scene in which Wilma calls
upstairs:

"Dear, your prom date is here. He's, uh, hanging from
the doorjamb."

"Okay, Mom, offer him a banana and tell him I'll be
right down."

We give it one episode at best.
You may ask, by the way, what does intelligent design
have to do with all this? Exactly. What's intelligent
about a species whose young blow a year's pay from
their after-school jobs on a block-long limousine to
transport them three-quarters of a mile to a dance
they've spent the past three months worrying about and
can't wait to leave? It's enough to make a chimp
scratch his head
