Did Speedy Horses Evolve Only Recently?
| Answers in Genesis A new study looked at the genome of over 200 fossil horses, as well as domesticated horses and the Przewalski’s horse. The National Geographic headline declared, “Speedy horses evolved only recently, says landmark equine study.” But what they were really looking at was not evolution—it was artificial selection!
Hundreds of Thousands of Species in a Few Thousand Years?
| Answers in Genesis A recent review paper proposed a controversial claim—that the vast majority
of animal species arose contemporary with modern humans. Not surprisingly, this claim was met with backlash from the evolutionary community. On what basis did the authors make this wide-reaching claim? Is their assertion true?
How Manatees Lost Their Legs?

The Naked-Neck Gene
| Answers in Genesis Creationists emphasize that genetic mutations have never been shown to generate new, beneficial information in organisms (and often have deleterious effects), which undermines Darwinists’ case. And mutations in the naked-neck chicken are no exception.
Meet Chickenosaurus

A Tale of Two Chromosomes
| Answers in Genesis There are many anatomical similarities between humans and apes. Our chromosomes are similar as well. But do human chromosomes hint of chimp ancestry?
Odd Non-Man Out
| Answers in Genesis When considered alongside humans and chimps, the orangutan is the genomic “odd man out.” Is that because it hasn’t evolved as quickly?

DNA We're Missing Makes Us Human
| Answers in Genesis No one, not even evolutionists, disputes that humans have crossed a threshold that sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom—even chimpanzees, our “close evolutionary relatives.” But according to new research, it’s actually the genes we don’t have that sets us apart.
The Differences Make the Difference
| Answers in Genesis While there is much similarity in DNA sequences and gene expression among them, there are also important differences. In the case examined, as in other cases, the differences make the difference.
A Simple Answer

a more amazing truth, providing powerful evidence that we are all one
race, or “one blood,” just as the Bible
teaches.
ABO Blood and Human Origins
| Answers in Genesis The ABO blood group is the most significant blood factor in clinical applications involving blood transfusions. With our recent ability to rapidly sequence genes, the ABO blood group is also proving to be a valuable asset for determining human migration patterns and origins.

Humans Considered to have Evolved Separately for 100,000 Years
| Answers in Genesis New research published in the American Journal of Human Genetics purports to describe how humankind diverged, then nearly went extinct, and then finally reunited more than 50,000 years ago—at least, that’s the hypothesis. Associated Press and BBC News articles also take a look at different aspects of the epic chapter of human history supposedly uncovered by the study.

genetic-mutations-purged-from-genome/1 page
Can Genetic Mutations Be Purged from Genome?
| Answers in Genesis Evolutionists must theorize a way for deleterious mutations to be eliminated from the genomes of living things. There have been several proposed mechanisms to do this for different contexts, but here we will focus on just one: purging by purifying selection.

Are Wisdom Teeth Evidence for Evolution?
| Answers in Genesis Wisdom teeth are still thought of and touted today as vestigial structures and as evidence for evolution. But is this actually the case? Why do we humans have so many problems with wisdom teeth? And does this imply a poor design by the Creator?
Vestigial Structures

The Human Brain—Fill in the Blanks
| Answers in Genesis Do your pets ever talk to you? Maybe you’ve seen one of those internet videos where a dog says, “Hello.” We know dogs don’t really speak, despite what we think we hear. So what gives? God designed your brain to fill in missing details on the fly . . . with some interesting consequences.
Wired for Awe
| Answers in Genesis That feeling of “veneration” in the face of the “sacred” has sent atheists scurrying for generations, denying that awe even exists except among religious fanatics. But today everyone is forced to embrace its reality. Neuroscientists can detect its effects in the brain.
Baby Brains

What Memories Are Made Of
| Answers in Genesis “Where’d I park my

permanently stores all the information it encounters,
but we just can’t always access it. In fact, we
forget many things, which appear to be gone forever.
And that’s a good thing!
Marriage Decreases Likelihood of Dementia
| Answers in Genesis Recently, a new study was published in which 19,579 men and women aged 52 and older from the US and who exhibited no signs of dementia were interviewed (beginning in 2000).

Nerve Distribution—A Sensitive Topic

Human Vision: Uniqueness of Human Eyesight

Left-Handed Complement
| Answers in Genesis Left-handedness is just another physical trait that is still shared by millions of people, like red hair, green eyes, or a cleft chin (as opposed to the more common black hair, brown eyes, and non-dimpled chin).

The branch of physics dealing with how the universe operates at very small scales – interactions involving particles smaller than atoms – is called quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is weird.
The First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics and the Origin of the Universe
| Answers in Genesis Consideration of the first and second laws of thermodynamics in the past leads to the conclusion that the universe’s origin is a metaphysical or spiritual question, not a physical one. Therefore, using science, we can conclude the origin of the universe is not a question that science is equipped to answer on its own.

Furthermore, both men died shortly after their 76th birthdays. These facts wouldn’t be remarkable if their work and writings were not so intimately related.
Only Two
| Answers in Genesis Biblical teachings reflect the fact that, in an ultimate sense, there are only two religious views in the world—beliefs built on man’s fallible word (darkness/sand) and the one that’s built on the infallible Word of God beginning in Genesis (light/rock).
Work—A Gift or a Curse?
