Neanderthal | Answers in Genesis Neanderthals are often treated as subhuman despite having all the hallmarks of full humanity. Except a few skeletal variances, they were very similar to us.
Neanderthals Used Advanced Hunting Techniques | Answers in Genesis A new study demonstrates that Neanderthals (once considered to be dull-witted, brutish, ape-like creatures) used “advanced hunting techniques to stalk and kill their prey,” including group ambush, which allowed them to get close to their prey and ensure a kill for the family or village to eat.
making-monkeys-out-of-men/1 page
Making Monkeys out of Men | Answers in Genesis In an effort to fill the gap between apes and men, certain fossil men have been declared to be “apelike” and, thus, ancestral to at least “modern” man.
The Neandertals: Our Worthy Ancestors, Part II | Answers in Genesis Today, the majority of paleoanthropologists believe that the Neandertals were a species separate from modern humans. But most paleoanthropologists also believe that there was at least some degree of cross-fertilization between Neandertals and modern humans. These two beliefs seem to represent a contradiction in the species concept in human evolution that requires clarification.
Neanderthals: the New Red-Heads | Answers in Genesis It’s a common caricature in textbooks, movies, and—more true than ever today—TV shows: a brow-ridged, (often) club-carrying Neanderthal, covered in thick, messy red hair.
our-worthy-ancestors/1 page
Neanderthals: Our Worthy Ancestors | Answers in Genesis Three lines of evidence demonstrate that the Neanderthals were fully human ancestors of modern humans: the nuclear DNA evidence, fossil evidence that Neanderthals lived in close association and integration with modern humans, and the cultural evidence demonstrates that Neanderthal behavior and thought was fully human.
neanderthal-niftiness/1 page
Neanderthal Niftiness | Answers in Genesis Neanderthals were no novices when it came to wielding fire, new evidence suggests—evidence that adds to our understanding of Neaderthals as intelligent, modern humans.
neandertal-man-the-changing-picture/1 page
Neandertal Man—the Changing Picture | Answers in Genesis Despite all the prejudice against including the Neandertals into Homo sapiens, even many evolutionists have become impressed with the evidence for Neandertal’s humanity.
Incorrect Neanderthal Stereotype | Answers in Genesis The stereotype of Neanderthals is that they were hulking, hairy troglodytes quite different from “refined” modern humans. Now there’s even more evidence of how incorrect that stereotype is.
Neanderthals: Human Cousins or Descendants? | Answers in Genesis Since this unexpected (in their view) discovery, researchers have been digging to see what marks Neanderthals left in our DNA. And they’ve found that those marks influence (in some people of certain descent) skin shade, immunity, susceptibility to depression, and even whether someone is a night owl or a morning person.
Sailing the Mediterranean? So Easy Even a Caveman Can Do It! | Answers in Genesis When this human variety (now considered by evolutionists to be a cousin to modern man) was first discovered, they were considered primitive and brutish, hence the insult of calling someone a “Neanderthal.” But nothing could be further from the truth.
Neandertools | Answers in Genesis Researchers were surprised to discover recently that the Neanderthals of Europe were probably using sophisticated bone tools before other humans moved into the region.
Outsmarting Ourselves | Answers in Genesis Human brains are getting smaller, yet we’re apparently getting smarter. Does that mean dinosaurs with walnut-sized brains could have actually been geniuses?
Radiocarbon Dating: Neanderthals Not as Smart as We Thought | Answers in Genesis Radiocarbon dating of an archaeological site in France has some researchers claiming that Neanderthals weren’t as smart as we thought. But the evidence can more easily be interpreted as both confirming Neanderthal intelligence and casting doubt on radiocarbon dating methods.

Lagar Velho 1 Child Skeleton | Answers in Genesis When the parents of that four year old boy buried him many years ago, they could not have known how important his remains would be to their descendants.
The Caring Neandertal | Answers in Genesis The more we learn about the Neandertals, the more we are forced to conclude that although they may have looked brutish, they were very caring people.
Scientists Determining Vocal Qualities of Neanderthals | Answers in Genesis You’re wandering the ominous halls of a secular natural science museum after hours one night. Walking through the “prehistoric” man displays, the model of a 30,000-year-old Neanderthal behind you opens his mouth and ekes out a ghastly sentence: “Evolution . . . is . . . true!”
Neandertal Children’s Fossils | Answers in Genesis In reconstructing fragmented bones of Neandertal children, evolutionists assume that rates of development were equal to or faster than modern children.
neanderthals-one-of-us/1 page
Neanderthals: One of Us | Answers in Genesis Anthropologist Erik Trinkaus comments that the specimens considered to be the “earliest modern humans” in Europe “have shown obvious Neandertal ancestry.”
Armoured Neanderthal | Answers in Genesis Mr K. Stolyhwo described the discovery of a human skull with classic Neanderthal features. The entire skeleton was in a tomb which also contained iron arrowheads and a suit of chain-mail armour.
Thumbs up for Neandertals | Answers in Genesis Old myths about “ape-men” die slowly. Even Neandertals, who for decades have been recognized by even many evolutionists to be fully human, still struggle to shed their image as hairy less-than-human brutes.

Close, But Not Close Enough—Fingerprints | Answers in Genesis Evolutionists claim that this similarity, or homology, between humans and primates is evidence of
common ancestry. But closer study verifies fundamental differences that point to a common Designer.
Evidence of Intelligence | Answers in Genesis Archaeologists regularly uncover evidence of early man’s brilliance, confirming that cavemen were smart enough to build fires, design intricate structures, and cook complex cuisine.
Human Ingenuity: Outsmarting Evolutionary Misconceptions | Answers in Genesis When we start with God’s Word, however, we know that humans are not necessarily getting smarter as time goes on. Adam and Eve were created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27), and originally we had perfect brains and intelligence (Genesis 1:31; Deuteronomy 32:4).
cavemen-really/1 page
Cavemen . . . Really? | Answers in Genesis When we cut away the laugh track and the bumbling ways, we’re left with something of an enigmatic figure—a being without a settled place in our understanding of history. Perhaps, in fact, it’s our discomfort with not knowing what to do with cavemen that makes us laugh. So just who were they?
The Evolution of Childbirth? | Answers in Genesis Sara Sklaroff’s “The Evolution of Childbirth—A Horror Story” reflects the secular worldview that says evolution “designed” the supposedly inferior process of human birth.
The Evolutionary Problem with Grandmothers | Answers in Genesis In an evolutionary worldview, human grandmothers are a bit of a puzzle. Why would evolution favor human grandmothers? Our lifespan should have evolved to be shorter, especially for women since, unlike men, there is a defined ending to their ability to reproduce. That is the evolutionary problem with grandmothers.
dragon-man-newest-human-cousin/1 page
Dragon Man, the Newest Human “Cousin”? | Answers in Genesis Dragon Man is a post-Babel human, perhaps of the Denisovan people group, or perhaps a result of intermarriage between post-Babel Denisovans and Neanderthals. We know that he was human, was created in God’s image (Genesis 1:28), and is not some evolutionary sidebar to modern humans.
ape-men-adam-gospel/1 page
Ape-Men, Adam, and the Gospel | Answers in Genesis How many times have you seen pictures showing a sequence of monkey-to-ape-to-man evolution? Although creationists and evolutionists look at the very same fossil evidence and genetic evidence, they interpret that evidence very differently because of different starting assumptions.
Cranial Capacity and Endocranial Casts | Answers in Genesis Man has always prided himself on his intellectual capabilities and has often pondered to explain the reason why he alone is able, unlike the rest of the animal kingdom, to contemplate and communicate.
Missing Link? Scientists Claim Newly Discovered Fossil Ape Was Bipedal | Answers in Genesis A recent study trumpeted the discovery of a supposedly 11.6-million-year-old ape from what is now Germany. Danuvius guggenmosi supposedly had “long arms suited to hanging in trees, [and] features of its legs and spine suggest it might also have been able to move around on its hind feet.” Did they find a missing link?
humans-arent-going-evolve-again/1 page
Humans Aren’t Going to Evolve Again | Answers in Genesis The website The Conversation—which boasts supposed “academic rigor”—recently hosted an article, in a series designed for children, to answer a reader-submitted question, “Are humans going to evolve again?” But this article showed anything but “academic rigor.”
New Human Species Discovered in the Philippines? | Answers in Genesis Headlines trumpeted the news last week, “New species of early human found in the Philippines.” This “new species,” based on a collection of fossils found in on the island of Luzon, has been named Homo luzonensis and has been dated to about 67,000–50,000 years. How should we as biblical creationists understand this find?
did-a-taste-for-fat-make-us-human/1 page
Did a “Taste for Fat” Make Us Human? | Answers in Genesis It’s long been an evolutionary puzzle as to how early humans got the bigger brains they needed to evolve into modern humans? Well, a new study proposes maybe it was a taste for fat that did it—and that’s why we still crave fat today.
could-the-inca-people-write/1 page
Could the Inca People Write? | Answers in Genesis It’s long been believed the great Inca civilization never left behind any written records. But what if that’s just because we couldn’t recognize their writing? A fascinating new study reveals the Incas did leave a written history behind—we just didn’t recognize it.
did-neanderthals-live-violent-lives/1 page
Did Neanderthals Live Violent Lives? | Answers in Genesis Neanderthals have long been considered our evolutionary cousins and are usually portrayed as brutish and uncivilized as shown in some kids’ TV programs. But this view has consistently been shown to be wrong. We now know Neanderthals wore jewelry and makeup, made instruments and tools, and more.
Were Ancient Girl’s Parents from Two Different Species? | Answers in Genesis The scientific community has been buzzing with the recent news that a small bone fragment recovered from a cave in Siberia is the remains of a 13-year-old girl whose parents belonged to what they call two different human species, Neanderthals and Denisovans.

The Human Fossils Still Speak! | Answers in Genesis The human fossil record is completely compatible with special creation. In contrast, the human fossil evidence is so contrary to evolution that it effectively falsifies the idea that humans evolved.
Human Jawbone Found: Doesn’t Fit Evolutionary Steps | Answers in Genesis Experts in the ever-changing topic of human evolution thought they had most of it figured out—when our ancestors left Africa, the major evolutionary steps since then, etc. But a human jawbone discovered in China just doesn’t fit.
Kin Confusion | Answers in Genesis For all the years of proclaiming chimpanzees as our closest living evolutionary cousins, some evolutionists think we may actually be more closely related to orangutans.

Instantaneous Evolution | Answers in Genesis Early humans weren’t very good at swinging from trees. But if you think that has evolutionists doubting human evolution, think again.
The Evolution of the Eyebrow? | Answers in Genesis The fossil record shows a great deal of diversity among post-Flood humans (scientists haven’t found any pre-Flood humans as of yet). Some of this diversity is shown in skull shape. Many ancient humans had much thicker brow ridges than we do today.

Battle of the Sexes or Designed Lizard Niches? | Answers in Genesis Researchers found that sexual size dimorphism may be limiting South American lizards’ speciation. Males and females of the same species may be filling ecological niches usually filled by separate species. Is this an example of evolution in action or a designed adaptive feature input into the lizard kind’s genome?
Interspecific Adoption: Can Evolution Explain Altruism in Animals? | Answers in Genesis Evolutionists have serious problems with interspecific animal adoptions, something many of them recognize. Creationists are in a much better position when it comes to discussing animal adoptions. While this cannot be argued dogmatically, incredible adoptions could point back to the original design.

Book of Genesis | Answers in Genesis The Book of Genesis, meaning "creation" or "generation," is the first book of the Bible. It was named by the Septuagint (LXX) translators because it gives an account of the origin of all things. Genesis tells us what God wants us to know about his creation.

Gap Theory | Answers in Genesis One popular interpretation of Genesis 1 shoehorns a millions-of-years gap between verses 1 and 2. Is this a valid interpretation?
