14-09-2006 3:24pm#1Hey folks,
About time we had a sticky for links that users of this forum may find interesting. Links don't have to be specifically atheist/agnostic related, but should have some relevance to the topics that crop up here. It might also be best to keep links to news articles or humour pages (with the exception of the Lego Bible) to individual threads.
Go forth and add links... Tagged:1

Hi guys.
Since lots of us seem to have an interest in evolutionary theory I think its about time we had a thread to discuss it in detail.
This is not another thread to discuss evolution versus creationism, but rather a place to put interesting articles about evolution research and discoveries. To this end it is also not a 'Creationists are silly' thread.
I decided to create this thread (with the blessing of grand overlord Dades) because I posted some links to good articles in the Creationismsuperthread but I'd say a lot of people will miss them due to the rapid progression of said thread and many people's unwillingness to visit said thread.
So, bring forth your articles and trinkets and let us have some good ol' fashioned excahnge of information! 0 -
Right, I'll get the ball rolling by posting some articles I found yesterday (sorry that I already posted in the 'other' thread. that was before I taught to make this one):
I found this on National Geographic. Apparently tuataras are evolving faster than other creatures:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/03/080331-tuatara-evolution.html
A good read for those interested in such things.
Also found some nice articles on human evolution for those interested;
New candidate for our ancestor?
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/03/080320-biped-ancestor.html
New info on Neandertals (yes, apparently the h is supposed to be left out):
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/03/080317-neandertal-split.html

For a moment there I though we were going to have the first "Atheist only thread." Nice idea, please keep contents in this thread separate from what is in the monster thread that has caused me so many headaches.Hi guys.
Since lots of us seem to have an interest in evolutionary theory I think its about time we had a thread to discuss it in detail.. I'm interested in learning. 0 -

don't exactly like the idea of posting in this forums.
Ah don't worry you won't go to hell for it
Back on topic, an article I found awhile back. It's quite curious really. An ancient fish that gave birth to live young including umbilical chord! A strange evolutionary experiment if ever there was one:

Oohh, that was interesting.
Bacteria evolve in the lab.
I think this one was mentioned in the creationist-super-thread, but for the people that dare not venture there:
