    I didnt realize DanS was a 'blood sucking parasite bent on ruining medicine' i.e. a lawyer!

    As for the article, its a tempest in a teapot. Average mutation rates! What a crock! They compare their suspect results to other suspect results (carbon dating) and find a difference. Woo hoo pass out the champagne boys it's Nobel Prize material. Merde!

            I still can't figure out what chavs are supposed to be. Some sort of subclass of euro-trash for the other euro-trash to look down on, as far as I can tell.

            Anyway, which kind of modern chimp were these things ancestors of, the "sex is the answer to everything" bonobos or the vicious, dung-flinging main variety of Pan troglodytes (yes, I'm feeling insufferably clever for remembering the scientific name, albeit probably incorrectly)? Not that modern humans don't share traits of both...

              Well it's been explained numerous times, so you should have been able to figure it out by now...

                That's Rosbif trash.

                The trash phenomenon in France is completely different, and my impression is that chavs are also completely irrelevant to German trash (those are the two Euro countries I know well, but I'd bet there is hardly any chav phenomenon outside the British isles)

                    Chav (pronunciation: /tʃæv/) (also Chavette (female chav), Charv or Charva) is a slang term in wide use throughout the United Kingdom since 2004. It refers to a subcultural stereotype of a person with fashions such as flashy "bling" jewellery, Burberry clothing items and counterfeit designer clothing; an uneducated and uncultured background; a tendency to congregate around places such as fast-food outlets, bus stops, or other shopping areas; and a culture of antisocial behaviour and violence. Chavs often listen to dance/trance, RnB, rap, and hip hop music. Response to the term has ranged from amusement to criticism that it is a new manifestation of classism.

                      I bet if "Chav's" read that, they would feel insulted and stupid.

                        I'm no lawyer! Rather, an analyst supporting lawyers.
                        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                          You really have to stop listening to Fox News. Their propaganda is warping your brain.

                            Both. Pan troglodytes (regular chimp) and Pan paniscus (bonobo) separated perhaps a couple million years ago; certainly later than the chimp-human divergence.

                              Carbon dating is never used to date anything remotely near the chimp-human divergence. Get a clue.
