It's only 6 inches and look at how well the bones are formed. Different shape also. Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Looking at some videos now ..

Only 1% of human genome is actually unique to humans. Having 91% of genes in common with this... thing... proves absolutely nothing.

I believe that percentage proves that the creature isn't alien, but not necessarily human. I think the DNA in mice is a closer match than that. Could be some kind of rare evolutionary offshoot.

Asimov knows that we can't be sure about the fact of our existence, because you can't prove that reality is real. So our knowledge will be only a Limit that approaches the "real" knowledge with faster rate with every fact gain. That's not a belief that's a fact that every one who majors in anything should know.

And there is G?del's incompletness and completness theorems (theorems in mathematics are not the same as theories in science) which were demonstrated to question the notion that Logic is a complete system - can prove everything. It can't. It's a good system, but incomplete.

Combine this with our physiological limits: Like that we are seeing only a little chunk of the electromagnetic spectrum, have 5 fingers on each hand and we can be sure that our way of seeing the world is flawed by being human in general.

Also there is a field in statistics that deals with those problems called the measurement errors models, which deals with aproximations and errors of our calculations.

The two threads on the same subject have now been merged. Hope this doesn't confuse people.
