This is why:

The DI's Casey Luskin (a lawyer and NOT one of the three "scientists" who wrote their book) said:

What exactly was found? According to the technical paper reporting the find, the bold claims were based upon a few fragmented canine teeth which were said to be "intermediate" in size and shape. The technical description used in the paper was intermediate "masticatory robusticity."60 If a couple of four-million-year-old teeth of “intermediate” size and shape make “the most complete chain of human evolution so far," then the evidence for human evolution must indeed be quite modest.


This is what the claim was actually based on:
Is this what the paper claimed? Well, no. Casey is playing fast and loose with the facts here. Here is what White et al described in their paper:

1. a left maxilla with fragmentary crowns of I2 and M2–M3, broken canine, premolar and molar roots, and adjacent palatal and lateral maxillary surface
2. a right maxilla contains the broken P4 root and damaged molar crowns
3. two associated dental rows
4. a metatarsal shaft without ends
5. an eroded distal foot phalanx
6. an intact intermediate hand phalanx
7. four vertebral fragments
8. an adult right femur shaft


Fucking idiots...and they whine when they can't get published by mainstream journals?

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.

Another example of this guy's lunacy here.

Can't Casey F**kwit even read? Answer: Sure he can, he's a lawyer. (Pronounced "liar.")

With that kind of David Bartonesque "scholarship", Casey and crew must be glad their stuff doesn't get peer reviewed, else (if it made it that far) the publisher would pull it from the shelves.
