Evolution or Creation?
Apes and Humans
As evolutionists studied humans and species of apes in the 1970's and 1980's, they discovered surprising information that distinguished us from apes and other primates. In the human races, the maximum variation between population groups is 0.08. However, among populations of chimps, orangutans, and other primate species, such values are commonly more than 0.20. An analysis of the genetics of populations of apes revealed that different population groups possess fixed novel mutations that characterize each population. In contrast, there are no novel mutations or genetic alleles that specifically characterize any one human race from another. More recent studies have confirmed the early conclusions that human genetic diversity is far less than what one would predict from Darwinian theory. Examinations of the genetic sequences of diverse modern human populations reveals minor, if any differences. All of this evidence suggested a recent origin for modern humans.[20]
