Man-Bear-Pig update
Some scientists want to defend this theory, but I’m still not buying it…
Just to remind you, we think this is ridiculous…
DOGS SEE IN COLOR
It turns out that dogs see color – change your dog body switch fantasies accordingly.
Peacocks – what makes them so sexy?!

I'm the host of this little science show. 
Although “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” is a good movie, it’s worth noting that the premise (a service to remove unwanted memories) goes back a good century, to Don Mark Lemon’s 1907 story “The Mansion of Forgetfulness”. I know I’ve got a few memories I’d pay to get rid of.
Where’s my post? I submitted it weeks ago, regarding the man-bear-pig segment.
It should be there… I approved a comment from you from 7/22 related to modification of the agricultural pig genome. I haven’t deleted anything.
The show notes are mistaken. There are ZERO scientists who defend the man-bear-pig hypothesis!
Blair, Gene McCarthy has NEVER been published in any peer-reviewed paper! No matter what Jimmy Kimmel says, he is not a “valued college” to any scientist. He’s a crackpot. He’s a denier of Darwinian evolution. His website is called macroevolution dot net. His credibility is zero. He’s probably has no doctorate, or got one from some religious/online school. He might not even be a real person… but a hoax.
With regards to reputation, I totally disagree with you. The reputation of the arguer is informative, but isn’t all-important, that would be called dogmatism. What matters is the plausibility of the argument.
The hybrid origin of man isn’t a “theory“, it’s a dumb idea. It’s a wild bit of speculation that is obviously false. To “do justice to this story” would be to ignore it.
You want to see an analysis to demonstrate that this idea is impossible?
