Human Evolution
There are only three ways to make an ape-man: 1) make an ape more human-like, 2) make a human more ape-like, or 3) fraudulently mix the two together. Homo naledi, a new fossil species discovered in a South African cave chamber, is another example of trying to make an ape more human-like.
Humans and Chimps Alike?
Determining the genetic basis for differences between humans and chimps does not explain the origin of those differences. We share not a common ancestor but a common Designer.
Who Were Cave Men?
Genetics has clearly established that Neanderthals and Denisovans were fully human. Any physical differences should be viewed as nothing more than variations that can occur within the human race descended from Adam and Eve.
Fossils of Cave Men
Human fossils —and their stone tools—are strikingly similar everywhere they are found in the Lower and Middle Pleistocene layers. These people had large brow ridges, small chins, and receding foreheads.
Evolving Intelligence
Evolutionary anthropologists believe mental abilities had to evolve. Yet they note large gaps in this archaeological record across which it is difficult to discern whether mental evolution was gradual or punctuated by leaps and losses.
