Of course the evolutionary biologists didn't say it,but it looks like their finding of the lack of genetic diversity in human beings is best explained by some catastrophic event. Darn, Moses must have thought of that and gave us the myth of Noah and the flood to explain it. You would have thought Darwin would have factored that in, but guess he didn't understand it as well as Moses.

Humanoids are believed to have split off from chimpanzees about 5 million to 6 million years ago.

We Dodged Extinction

Excerpt:

“If you have a big bag full of marbles of different colors, and you lose most of them, then you will probably end up with a small bag that won’t have all the colors that you had in the big bag,” he says.

Similarly, if the size of the human population was severely reduced some time in the past, or several times, the “colors” that make up our genetic variability will also be reduced.

If that is indeed what happened, then we should be more like each other, genetically speaking, than the chimps and gorillas of Africa. And that’s just what the research shows.

“We all have this view in our minds that we [humans] started precariously as sort of an ape-like creature” and our numbers grew continuously, adds Wood. “We’re so used to the population increasing inexorably over the past few hundred years that we think it has always been like that.”

But if it had, Gagneux notes, our genetic variability should be at least as great as that of apes.


Probably caused from our ancestors early tampering with "Global warming?" (/sarcasm) LOL!

So, this could explain the vast differences in leadership, knowledge, values, and morals of WJC and GWB?
