OK, so you are saying that the house cat and the tiger are different "kinds"?
Now, what about a wolf and a dog? or a dog and a coyote or jackel?

to my understanding, a man found this tooth, and sent it in to scientist, they studied it and built and entire..... whatever u want to call it, fossile? and then they built him a wife from that tooth, and later the tooth was studied and found to be the tooth of an extinct pig.
ONE scientist thought the tooth might be from an ape (the teeth are similar). An artist for a popular magazine (not a peer reviewed scientific journal) made an imaginative drawing that the caption even referred to as "...merely the expression of an artist's brilliant imaginative genius."
The majority of scientists of the time didn't even think it might be a primate tooth, let alone a human ancestor.

Nebraska Man should not be considered an embarrassment to science. The scientists involved were mistaken, and somewhat incautious, but not incompetent or dishonest. The whole episode was actually an excellent example of the scientific process working at its best. Given a problematic identification, scientists investigated further, found data which falsified their earlier ideas, and promptly abandoned them (a marked contrast to the creationist approach).

When did I insult you? I asked you some simple questions. Am I going to get answers to them?

I never said you were an ignorant fool. Please link to a post where I called you that?
Being informed that your knowledge of certain areas of study isn't up to speed is not an insult. Being told that you seem gullible is not an insult. I know you won't believe me, but if enough ppl seem to think that your knowledge is faulty maybe that is a hint that you need to study more. If you continue to repeat old stories that many people have told you are false, yet instead of looking deeper into it you refuse to listen, then yes a label of gullible fits.
In school, if you get a bad grade on a test do you claim the teacher insulted you? After all s/he is telling you that your knowledge isn't good enough.
