    Ghost of genetics past shows up in bonobos
    I was reading this article and I wondered. Of sciforum members how many people accept that humans, chimps and bonobos evolved from a common ancestor?

    I was just wondering if most people here accept the FACT that we share a common ancestor

    we all evolved from the big bang. subtle physical reactions leading to the creation of atoms, atoms reacting to form molecules, molecules reacting to form cells, cells evolving into organisms and eventually into all that we see around us. why must we categorise everything around us on an arbirtary point in time? why not just accept all as it is, was, and will be again in the infinite cycle of the universe?

    A Steady State cosmos wouldn't demand convergence.
    If life arose en masse across the world?

    This seems likely, logically speaking the conditions for its appearance would have been met simultaneously, in many different places.
