Human skull study causes evolutionary headache
Scientists studying a unique collection of human skulls have shown that changes to the skull shape thought to have occurred independently through separate evolutionary events may have actually precipitated each other.
Researchers at the Universities of Manchester and Barcelona examined 390 skulls from the Austrian town of Hallstatt and found evidence that the human skull is highly integrated, meaning variation in one part of the skull is linked to changes throughout the skull.
This doesn’t shock me but it’s awesome to read about nonetheless. I wonder how the creationists would take/misinterpret a bit of information like this as it is really integral to our understanding of evolution.
