"The human and chimp genomes are 98.4% identical, and this proves we come from a common ancestor."
"The thing that separates humans from apes is that apes have massive jaw bones and we have massive skulls. Once the mutation occurred to stop the massive jaw bone from being so massive, that extra energy was available for growing a massive skull and thus a massive brain."
These are things that I have heard, and perhaps you have too. But what what is the truth?
Every evolutionary scientist that wants to be taken seriously, make his mark, or help shed light onto the story of our origins must try to link humans to our supposed ancient ancestors. Instead of sifting for truth, the peer review system of science can often find itself creating more peer pressure than anything else. When there is direct, observable evidence being taken into account good science can be done. But when trying to piece together puzzle pieces from before our time (read evolution cannot be observed directly), the picture you come up with had better fit into the picture your peers are creating. If the pieces don't fit, you had better jam and trim them in ways so they DO fit.
