The video at the bottom of this post gives the sordid history of the marketing of denialism by The Marshall Institute (and now The Heartland Institute).

Via the mass media.

This practice supports the hypothesis of Dr Eugene McCarthy that humans evolved from a hybrid of a male pig and an female chimpanzee:

Humans are actually hybrids, who emerged as an offspring of a male pig and a female chimpanzee, according to one of the world’s leading geneticist.

Turning the theory of human ancestry on its head, Dr Eugene McCarthy — one of the world’s leading authorities on hybridization in animals from the University of Georgia has suggested that humans didn’t evolve from just apes but was a backcross hybrid of a chimpanzee and pigs.

(Times of India, “Humans emerged from male pig and female chimp, world’s top geneticist says“). Dr. Eugene McCarthy teaches evolution, biology, and genetics at the University of Georgia, USA (His Website).

Actually, the idea that humans are part pig might help explain a lot.

On the other hand, it seems gratuitous to be badmouthing pigs by suggesting a link to us.

We have some pretty solid evidence that just about any cross species mating will produce sterile offspring(if they can produce one at all). I'm all for keeping an open mind to all sorts of possibilities in science but that (so called) geneticist doesn't give any proof of his claims. And the publisher has taken
some fire for publishing it.

David Lasagna @3,

LOL.

Heartland's bullshit torn to shreds.
