A shock for evolutionists - man does not stem from apes but sharks!

But would these sharks happen to have lasers attached to their heads?

So;

We are still closest to lungfish and coelocanths and the like, is that it? And they are just closer to sharks then to teleosts?

That's a possible conclusion from the paper, but not one drawn by the authors; they still think we're closer to teleosts than to sharks, and that the greater genetic similarity to sharks is due to more rapid evolution of teleost genes plus the extra round of genome duplication in the teleosts' ancestry.

Morphologically, we sarcopterygians (tetrapods, lungfish, coelacanths etc) and the actinopterygians (teleosts and ilk) share a number of traits not found in condrichthyans (sharks and allies), supporting the traditional arrangement. I can't offhand think of any uniting sarcopterygians and condrichthyans to the exclusion of actinopterygians.

*pfft*, Doesn't matter, I'm still skeptical about evolution.

Oh but it DOES matter, doesn't it? After all, it is not an April's fool thing, but science, and it is quite a difference whether you are skeptical about a joke or a fact :lol:

The FACT that you now are skeptical and not opposed, at least gives hope :)
