So Many People Don't Really Understand the Theory of Macroevolution by Natural Selection

Cartoon based on fake facts & ignorance.

1. It's not Darwin's theory! Patrick Matthew conceived it first. Darwin & Wallace plagiarised it from him. FACTS: https://t.co/E8QuuMzsSL

2. Humans did not evolve from gorillas. We & Chimps ramified from a now extinct common ancestor. pic.twitter.com/fnoCdcgaqD

Yes, very strictly speaking, "Cousin Hugh" 😀, but I think it fair to suspect it is most likely implying the notion that modern humans evolved from gorillas. pic.twitter.com/hC5WmW8S6t

The Sparrow Brief

For the history  of Dysology, I have archived the Sparrow Proving file here , just in case it ever gets deleted. This may well be the world's funniest document. Read it with care. Ensure you are securely seated. If you begin a giggling fit please stop reading. Never read aloud in a public space, you may kill other people with uncontrollable laughter. The original Sparrow Brief file is here.

This is a very serious Twitter munitions-level #LaughterWarning.

Anyone reading the #SparrowProving homeopathy file aloud in public may kill a large number of people, who'll die rather slowly & exquisitely of laughter.

Remember, stupidity kills!https://t.co/Ti6iIoGI92 pic.twitter.com/5sNHQC1ss2

And if you can take any more after that, another unintentionally hilarious time can be had if you would care to enjoy an interview with Misha Norland, author of the Sparrow Proving file. Here

You have to try to picture it don't you. My word, but it would make for a great TV comedy play. John Cleese @JohnCleese as Cardigan Sparrow?

Still worse is the approval of the College of Chiroquacktic. Unbelievable ignorance by the department of education

We should not lose sight of the recent history of Middlesex University promoting and facilitating quackery. Now, for generations to come, quacks will bragg they have a MSc validated by @QAA in association with @MiddlesexUni . The ducking shame of it all!https://t.co/AoxVQGCLEP
