And your point? Yes assending from fish or other aquadic species has always been a theory. This has little to do with proving anything except that live does evolve. Just don't tell the baptists that. Humans like most other successful species are omnivores, that means they eat whatever is available.

If you are going to assert that we are evolutionary beings then you have to accept that we humans are designed to eat anything, including meat. If ants can herd the honeydew bug and milk them for thier body fluids until they die, why can't we. Now please don't say they are bugs and don't count for if you are going to make a case for vegan or for a total stoppage of eating meat and dairy you need to use all the information around you. not just pick and choose the ones that only partly support you position.

Now i am not just some dude that like to be a pain in the backside. Nor do I support crulety to animals. I and my wife rescue animals. You have a point but if you are going to be taken seriously you need to check your facts and make sure what your say is actually supported.

Lee,

We can eat meat in an awkward sort of way (cooked and cut-up, unlike the way other animals eat it), but we don't need to eat meat to live, or thrive for that matter.

TO LEE - THANK YOU FOR RESCUEING ANIMALS! YOU AND YOUR WIFE HAVE KIND SOULS! IF ONLY MORE PEOPLE WERE LIKE YOU! THE POINT THAT PETA WAS MAKING WAS..."WE ALL OUR CONNECTED" AND WE ALL SHOULD BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER.AND NOT EAT EACH OTHER UP!HOPEFULLY US HUMANS WILL NOT BE ON THE FOOD-CHAIN LIST ANYTIME SOON.BUT..YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THINGS WILL CHANGE.

Just wanted to know if you guys have looked at the big fishing club of Trout Unlimited. The Tennessee Chapter is causing a very big stink in the Tenn. and NC states over water quality. The terrible situtation is really not so much about the water quality but that they want to keep everyone else out of the Tellico OHV area so they can catch and eat/kill the Native Brook Trout. Trout Unlimited got the government to lift a state wide ban on fishing these beautiful creatures because they wanted to catch and eat them, but now want to stop everyone else from using the park as it was intended. We really need to stop organizations like Trout Unlimited as all they are doing is hurting animals for the sport. They think they are so strong because they have Peer and SELC assisting them with their dirty work. We should go after them...I would like to see a huge rally at the Tellico River during opening weekend or when the state releases Rainbow Trout from the hatchery. These people make me sick, they follow the hatchery truck around like a bunch of flies, just waiting at a chance to pull out these fish. Some claim to catch and release, however the hooks and the stress from being caught cause them to die shortly after. Check out Tennessee Trout Unlimited as the name suggests they want to catch an unlimited amount of these fish!

This is an exciting discovery! Yay Darwin!
I agree, Amanda, recognition of our shared ancestory ought to compel us to respect our relatives (non-human and human).
Lee, we may eat whatever is available but we stop short of eating other humans-not only because we're the same species but because of our moral commitment to respect each other's right to life. Evolution doesn't preclude us from expanding our moral commitment to other animals.
