Also there's not a whole lot that needs debating "by the other side" from
what was posted. The pertinent and largely correct information you are
looking for can be found in any introductory Physical Anthropology
textbook. I have no idea where your friend came upon this
mis-information, but if a discussion of science is what's being asked
here, may I suggest first referring to a scientific textbook for relevant
background first. Otherwise, talk.origins is the proper forum for your
debate, as noted above.

BTW, the dinosaur found walking side by side with human footprints...
my sources tell me was named Barney.
