    If you really want to be stupidly speculative and assume that’s an actual piece of an animal, you could just as easily speculate that it’s, say, a condor talon.

      Yeah, but my point is, even if it is a finger, and thats a pretty massive if. And if its a soft tissue fossil from 3MYA.

      So what?

      It fits the overall shape of the end of a finger of any great ape. Sure, it would be a stupendous scientific find, but it couldn’t disprove evolution.
