One interesting thing is that dispersion of humans from mtDNA data and Y chromosome data is similar. Yet, mtEve and yAdam span a difference of up to 100,000 years apart. From what I can tell, evolutionary theory does not predict that the migration patterns would be similar. Yet, this would logically follow from the Human …

According to the latest paleo-archeological information, the oldest art was created by humans during the prehistoric Stone Age, between 300,000 and 700,000 years ago. Let’s …

And I have not seen any evidence that he was a creationist. Russian entomologist Yuri Filipchenko first coined the terms “macroevolution” and “microevolution” in 1927 in his German language …

Macroevolution would only be an extrapolation of microevolution, not something that we can observe. Fossils are observation. Observation isnt just limited to guys in labs wearing white coats. I didn’t say fossils are unobservable. …
