From the New York Times:
How Did Hands Evolve? The Answer Is Behind You.
The evolutionary blueprint for hands was borrowed in part from a much older genetic plan for our nether regions, a new study suggests.
Think about that the next time you shake hands with someone.
There is no evidence hands evolved just like there is no evidence consciousness evolved. It is assumed because the alternative is ….whatever
J-Mac:
Right. The use of butt genes to build hands is part of the Designer’s grand plan.
Give me one reason to continue the discussion? You are a moron who is bitter about the Creator. So am I but I’m not stupid enough to deny His existence…get a grip!
J-Mac:
Why would I do that? (other than for entertainment purposes)
Why would I be bitter about a Creator who, as far as I can tell, doesn’t even exist? I’m not bitter about Lex Luthor or Boris Badenov.
Interesting that you’re bitter about the Creator. What’s your gripe?
You give me nothing…give me something to discuss…
If you don’t want to continue the ‘discussion” just stay away
J-Mac:
I did:
And:
And if you don’t want to discuss those, you could always explain why you’re so certain that butt gene hands are part of the Creator’s grand plan.
BTW the article is paywalled.

Thanks. They allow me to share a certain number of articles per month, so here’s a share link. If it works for you, could you add it to the OP in place of the existing link?

Unfortunately that asks me to set up a free account but they still want credit card details. Not keen.
ETA apologies, it worked on the second try. I’ll post it into the OP. Just had my lift turn up so will have to wait till this evening.
