In fact if the 44 man had only been found in some ancient deposit or cave they probably would of insisted it showed evolution of a previous stage of mankind.
Whew! That was close!
Just wait a bit and you will probably see some creationist claim it is proof of de-evolution, in fact I am really surprised that hasn't been stated here yet. Just think Robert you could be the first to make that claim.

Re: Misrepresent
Russ Miller claimed in one of his seminars that the evo model of progression is disproven because humans have only 46 chromosome while horses have 64 and ferns have 200.
This is new to me and highly amusing.
From what I understand, fewer chromosomes does not equate to a loss of genetic information, but it sounds good as an argument for some creationist.
