:::: Of course creationists deny we descend from ancient hominids.  "Lucy is a chimp" and "Neanderthal is just a regular human with rickets" have been creationist canards for quite a while.  Creationists believe that humanity was created in its present form, and did not evolve from a predecessor species.  Ancient hominids are not the same species as modern humans.  Naturally, ape and hominid don't mean the same thing.  Hominids are a subset of apes.  But the point is that no biologist believes that we evolved from Gorillas, Chimpanzees, or Orangutans, but from other hominids (Australopithencines, etc).[[User:JohnSmith|JohnSmith]] 18:26, 12 May 2007 (EDT)
