Apes?[]

if all this stuff is true why can't the scientists prove that we came from apes or what ever? The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.207.139.71.

Not that it matters for the purposes of this site, but, um, science is pretty damn sure humans descended from apes (strictly speaking, we're still apes now, just a rather hairless, brainy variety). --Wolff359 06:15, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, the anon that made that comment is probably a product of the wonderful creationist filled American education system. --OuroborosCobra talk 06:16, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Why this?[]

Legitimate question. Why they saying Riker became an Australopithecus? An Australopithecus would have been about 4 feet tall and built more like a chimp. Riker looked more like a Neanderthal, or maybe a Homo rhodesiensis (the last confirmed common ancestor between humans and Neanderthals).

That's what was said in the ep by Data. Therefore, that's what he was. Regardless of height or proper science. -- sulfur 00:08, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
Plus, Barclay didn't look exactly like a spider, either. -Angry Future Romulan 00:33, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
