More bullshit, what does it really matter?
A new Missing Link has been found. If what they say
is true then all that I have been taught by be anthropology
teacher and alike has been bUllShit. Its all crap. What does it really
matter if we "come" from moneys or sasquatch , turtles or whatever?
I swear all this crap is making me sick. Instead of spending millions
of dollars on trying to find dried up bones that have no use, we
could be helping people like this :

I agree with you! It is of no use funding multi million dollar projects researching on such topics while hunger is real in some parts of the world especially Kenya where I come from.
Catch me here!

Just because you are unable to understand the scientific process and the joy of knowledge for knowledge's sake does not make it 'bullshit'. I am sorry that you do not have the creativity or imagination to understand that not everyone thinks the way you do or are driven by goals different from yours. The scientific process contains within itself the processes necessary to change and adapt to new realities. When new data comes in and it disagrees with current theories, then then the theories are modified to include the new data (this is not done easily nor lightly and there are hard fought 'intellectual' battles over the meaning and consequences of new data).
'Ardie' is not a 'missing link' and may not even be on the same branch of evolution as Homo Sap. Sap.; what she does is move the bipedalism trait back about a hundred million years.
How is it that you think the money spent on science would be spent on feeding the hungry? It is not possible to make the either/or argument for how to allocate money between science and 'helping people' - there is no correlation between the 2. On a personal note, if helping people is such an absolute, why are you wasting any money on anything other that charity work? You should not pay for anything that does not directly help others or help you earn money to help others. No internet, no books, no cable, no nothing but eat, sleep, work, charity.

There are a number of causes for starvation, death, disease, and all the ills of the world. Just getting food to a starving person will not solve the underlying problems which include war, corruption, political malfeasance, greed, climate change, overpopulation, just to name a few.
If you have suggestions on how to overcome the many obstacles to change, please enter the fray. Get a job that will put you in position to help others but do not expect others to do what you will not.
Railing against science in the name of railing against the problems of the poor does nothing but waste everyone's energy.

whole outlook in life. I bet you take even tap water for granted. You
have no idea how it feels like to be "poor". And when I say poor I mean
living way below the standard living condition for human. Sure
knowledge betters one, but it has been proven that by human nature
that in order to be a moral person, we need to help others, below us,
out. That is unless you are an immoral person, you should help them.

Why are we trying disproves something that has no REAL value to the majority of people ( in this case) ? Don't say something like , "oh
it helps us gain more knowledge about the world", when in fact it will just be another fact you memorize.

Because I am only human. I can't help people out all the time. I
have a life of my own. All I am merely suggesting is that people
should help out once a while whenever they could, and that the
government should stop funding our money into experiments like
this and start helping the poor. .

I disagree - it sounds more like you have been dumbed down; you are clueless; We are all going to die - that is the consequence of getting to have sex
Looks like you have already fallen into the categories below.
Think hard of what the sentence below means. Then respond if you
wish. I am not trying to argue but merely make you realize that ...
Fact: YOU have been dumbed down by schools , media, and everyone else.
Fact: YOU are clueless.
Fact: WE are killing ourselves.

Ah - I get it, you do not have to live by the rules you want others to live by. You are special; by the power of your posting crap you are saving more starving people than mere money could ever help.
Of course I will respond - there is nothing in your post that puts forward any support for your position. You posit 3 statement and assume by the mere statement of them as fact, it will be accepted as truth.
Just using the word 'fact' does not make it a fact and using your unproven statement as proof of your statement is not even good circular logic. These 2 points seem to support my hypothesis that you have been dumbed down. You have missed all the points I have tried to make leaving this one pretty self-referential. This one does not even make any sense - you offer no reference point.
You posit 3 opinions as facts but offer no support or even any relevance of them to the original intent of your post.
Now, let's get to the topic at hand:
Yes, I have seen starving kids - whether or not I have seen starving kids has no correlation to whether or not I 'take water for granted'. stating I take tap water for granted is an 'ad hominem' attack and does not address any point you are trying to make.
Then you make an assumption that in order to be moral person, we must help others below us (this assumes you are morally superior to the starving peoples of the world and stand above them).
Next you assume that because I disagree with you, I am an immoral person - another odd logical fallacy (could be any of many but probably Appeal to Consequences of a Belief).
Here again you appear to be completely self-referential.
You seem to assume that anthropology is not a science and that the scientific method is bull pucky - this is a completely different discussion - feel free to start a completely new thread on this topic sometime. This is a logical fallacy known as Special Pleading, in which you hold yourself to a different standard than you wish to hold the scientific community and/or 'other people'.
If, at some point, you wish to bring some thought and research into this discussion, please feel free to. On another point, I do not memorize 'facts' I learn about the world and use what I learn in my everyday life. I consider myself to be thoughtful, somewhat articulate, extremely liberal and willing to keep this up as long as you want. Memorizing facts is a waste of time; learning 'stuff' is what life is all about; thinking is how you apply what you learn to how you live.
Of course I will respond - there is nothing in your post that puts forward any support for your position. You posit 3 statement and assume by the mere statement of them as fact, it will be accepted as truth.

Thats too bad. This world is a piece of sh*t. You have no idea. You are just another person that feels like you know what your talking about, just because you think you are smart.

No need to explain this bull scientific method to me. Although it has gotten us places, it is no use in the anthropology section.
