What color was dinosaur skin? Some paleontologists suggest that it was gray while others think that it was colored like a rainbow. This disagreement is not a big deal; paleontologists know that the skeleton offers no clues as to what the skin color might have been.

All prehistoric beings displayed on the evolutionary chart have very hairy bodies, like that of a monkey. In reality, no one knows what their exteriors looked like because the skeleton offers no information regarding the skin’s look or constitution. There are several other possibilities: a) their skin looked like a baby’s ass, which might not be a nice thing to say; b) their skin was covered with some sort of rudimentary scale; there are even modern-day humans with this type of genetic disorder; or c) their skin was covered with a fur similar to cat fur.

Any of these possibilities spells the doom for the evolutionary theory.

Everyone familiar with forensic science knows how difficult it is to extrapolate the look of facial features from the structure of a scull. Usually, additional information such as age, race, sex, etc., of a subject is required to do a fairly good extrapolation. The skeleton provides, with a certain degree of precision, information about the age and sex, but almost never provides information about the race, so an extraneous source of information is needed to determine this important characteristic. Still, the number of good forensic artists is in the double digits worldwide because this is an extremely difficult undertaking.

No one knows how many races of prehistoric beings of one type or another there were, or what the members of different sexes looked like. There is not enough data to make sexual differentiation possible. There is no way of telling what their age was unless they were in their teens, with a smaller than average body. Yet anthropologists draw pictures of human-like prehistoric beings whose faces express human-like emotions and then say, “look at these people, they are almost like us!”

Emotion-wise, this is a very powerful message, but it is completely wrong. Those beings looked like anything but us. Once emotions are removed from the equation, everyone sees clearly that anthropologists went out on a limb.
