I am not aware of any person came barging in a court room and said"your honor, this thumb print is not tyhat of the defendent because two persons can have the same thumbpints and the thumb print in evidence is that of a man in china"
not even an anthropologist.
genetic geneology/ancestry is so simple a child can understand.
Now there are no common mutations between man and ape.
Thanks I really do appreciate it, but I do have a BS in Biology(Since we're bragging, it's just part of my collection).

knowing that you are anthroplogist a graduate in zoology, I am trying to round thing for you since your knwoledge in biology and molecular biology is deficient.
keep telling yourself that, it's not going to make everything 25,000 years old.
I am an MD who went into medical school in 1978 and dna and genes is all the stuff we do and we do it well because it is our specialty (MDs)
"All land-dwelling vertebrate animals carry this gene, but what does it do? Since it entered animal genomes, it has remained surprisingly unchanged, even after tens of millions of years. Until humans, that is. There’s been a recent acceleration in the evolution of FOXP2 since humans came to be, particularly in two amino acids. Recent work with fMRI and biochemistry showed that the protein is important to controlling the fine neuron-to-muscle connections that lead to our ability to make advanced sounds and phonetics. Mice and birds also showed particular vocal changes when their FOXP2 proteins were changed. It appears that the human FOXP2 gene allowed our ancestors to grow more advanced neuromuscular connections in the areas that control vocalization. Because of this, we were able to develop more advanced forms of communication to go along with our increased brain size."

By isolating and sequencing FOXP2 genomic DNA fragments from a 49,000-year-old Iberian Neandertal and 50 present-day humans, we have identified substitutions in the gene shared by all or nearly all present-day humans but absent or polymorphic in Neandertals.www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
the hyoid bone (the lingual bone):
The discovery of a modern-looking hyoid bone of a Neanderthal man in the Kebara Cave in Israel led its discoverers to argue that the Neanderthals had a descended larynx, and thus human-like speech capabilities.edit on 5-11-2013 by adnanmuf because: (no reason given)

I vary from yourself on the matter of an Abrahamic god but other than that I agree 100% with you point about the two systems not being mutually exclusive and after all you could say that God is a scientist, I do vary from some fundementalists though as I believe the majority of the bible from the story of Abraham onward but take the Sumerian creation story bolted on as something that may have been added to the Abrahamic religion later in it's development, I do believe that flood tradition has a very strong basis in fact though and how extensive such a flood would have been is another matter as we alone are too varied to be accounted for by a single family so recent on a genetic evolutionary tree, though there is the bread and fishes miracle but then I am a believer though I am also a believer in the use of proper science and am also a believer in the 4.2 billion year old earth.
