New theory on the origins of man
 

A scientist who has specialised in the genetics of hybrids has produced a theory that we are the result of crossbreeding between apes and PIGS.
Human origins: Are we hybrids?

I have 'fast read' it and find his theory plausible - It will require more in depth reading to cover all the fine points of his theory.

As a bacon butty lover I am reluctant to say - 'I'm convinced':D

Well after just returning from accy centre, i can see were he gets the "Pigs" side of it from.:D

It must be true, I heard about a blue whale that had an affair with a hamster, the whale was madly in love with his new partner, she however was emotionally torn apart by his over-enthusiastic love making!

Apes and Pigs.......I have dated some swamp donkeys. Just sounds a bit silly. I will stick with Darwin

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

load of rubbish

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Interesting theory - hmm! pigs and apes.....

Good job you didn't type Darwen, no ape would touch those pigs.

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

From the way he writes it appears he also likes the sound of his own voice he rabbits on and on before he actually says sumat, there was supposed to be five distinct races of humans on the this planet at one time, so its either 5 different breeds of monkeys or five different breeds of pig. I blame it on the Martians, but any road up whats it matter now after a couple of millian years, you can't go back.

Spot on Retlaw, matters more where we are heading than where we have come from.

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

So was it a male ape who had a twinkle in his eye for a female pig, or a male pig who had a twinkle in his eye for a female ape?

Then again there was that polish guy in Rishton who had an eye for goats....2000 years from now some guy could argue that all life is a result from a drunken pole and a Rishton goat

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

I always hum the tune of "On Ilkley Moor baht'at" when I think about where I am going :)
As long as it's not them geese and peacocks at the bottom of Less's street, eh? ;)

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Puts a whole new connotation on the phrase 'well, I'll be a monkey's uncle'....

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

....though I did work in a hotel kitchen for a while and believe you me I did discover that humans can be pigs.

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

We're heading in the direction we have come from, and towards which we are going:confused: Or maybe we are just going around in ever decreasing circles until we disappear up our own assholes. Politicians seem to have a head start.:rolleyes:

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

oh how i hope this is proven to be true because of the halal issue alone lol

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Hmm! If it's true I'm just wondering who it was who showed them (the ape and the pig) 'how to'....

....and keep on enjoying your bacon butties, Margaret - I know I will!!!!

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Is there a secret competition going on, see how many threads we can mention geese and peacocks?

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Seems a bit far fetched to me, how could a pig get his leg oer an ape, might be a bit feasable tother way round, but its still stretches the imagination a bit, aren't pigs domesticated Boars, aren't Boars a bit aggresive, I think that mon is looking for notariety, just waffle that can't be proved one way or the other.

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Why, are certain religions not allowed to eat apes?

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Bonobos monkeys use sexual acts frequently and casually as a form of greeting to other group members of either sex.
Bonobo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We may well regard this practice as deviant, but bestiality occurs in our society and is not confined to men with sheep or horses.

I consider it quite probable that a female monkey used the genitalia of a wild boar for gratification.

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

I hope she let him have them back afterwards!

Our DNA has a 50% match with a banana- the mind boggles!

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Well that explains all the snorting,snotty pigs who are usually stood behind me at the Asda checkout coughing their germs in to the back of my neck.

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

An interesting slant on the old standard of "Pulling a pig".

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Sorry if I'm missing your point but can't seem to find anything stating that these particular monkeys have varied sexual encounters with anything other than their own species..they don't seem to exhibit any behaviours that you wouldn't see at an average alcohol fueled xmas office party

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Ape groups have social outcasts and, having such a high sex drive, they are likely to be deviant.

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

If we have learned how to splice genes together and create life in a test tube! Then... Then just perhaps there is a race of Aliens who gentially engineered us from Monkies and Pigs! I think that is what Margaret is getting at? ;)

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Anything's possible. Even you.

By the way, is 'gentially' a Freudian slip? I'm worried about you!

Should be a smilie there but I did it wrong again!

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

ha ha ha - no it's a plain old spelling mistake? Meant to be "genetically"

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

New theories of all stripes appear. What matters if these theories are to gain acceptance is whether or not they survive the processes of peer review - broadly, do others agree that theory is consistent with observation and other established principles? It's [TRANSGRESSION - abbreviation] too early to conclude that this theory is part of what is as true as humans can divine , though it's [TRANSGRESSION - abbreviation] too late to dampen the enthusiasm of the mockers. It's [TRANSGRESSION - abbreviation] always too late for that.

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Graham, if you don't mind me saying so you seem to do an awful lot of transgressing - so I assume you are either very 'naughty' or you lead a most interesting life.....

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Let us hope he is a regular churchgoer,dotti!
No transgression.

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Bit tedious that mate! There's no need for such a literal application of the rules, lighten up a bit & life will be easier. :rolleyes:

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Me ... I'm lighting up a bit ... a bit of hash:alright: Life will definitely become a little easier ... Bomber and moose on the menu this aft. But I earned it ... 3 hours of shovelling snow:eek: But at least it's warmer than yesterday ... up to a balmy -17;) Somehow I don't think man could have originated here, unless there was some polar bear in the mix.

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

I wouldn't expect anything less from you Eric. :)

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

It's 'slightly' warmer here, predicted to reach the high 30's this week - maybe even 40! Then back to something in the 20's. Up and down like the proverbial yo-yo.

But never mind whether it's freezing cold or very hot, as long as we wake up every morning who cares.........and, Eric, keep on enjoying whatever turns you on.

Re: New theory on the origins of man
 

Gordon - I somehow doubt it, re the regular churchgoer bit, apologies if I'm wrong.

Btw there's no guarantee that regulars don't transgress - I've known a few who are and they still do.....and I agree with Dave, our friend should lighten up a bit - otherwise life can be a tad boring.

I bet Eric's never is!!!!!!!

Is he a black guy? As the racist term for white people among black circles is "pork" and the native cannibals used to refer to us as "long pig"!
