Humans vs. ChimpsBecoming Human—fast!7/8/2011 While recording a recent episode of the I Didn’t Know That! podcast, my colleague Fuz Rana responded to a listener who wanted to know if there is enough time (from an evolutionary perspective) between the divergence of chimps and humans from their common ancestors for humans to have evolved. In other words: Is the rate of evolution sufficient to explain the differences between humans and chimps? Bible And Brains Explain Human-chimp Similarities4/1/2007 “Isn’t the 99% genetic similarity between humans and chimps evidence for evolution?” When I speak on science-faith issues, I am almost always asked this question. The inquiry rarely takes me by surprise, but my reply often catches people a bit off-guard. Chimpanzee Behavior Supports Rtb's Model For Humanity's Origin6/7/2007 Who doesn’t like visiting the chimpanzee exhibit at the zoo? These primates are fascinating creatures. New field work indicates that these apes are even more remarkable than anyone could have known. Several recently published reports describe previously unobserved behavior for chimpanzees in the wild. Chimpanzees Respond To Death Like Humans: Evidence For Evolution Or Creation? Part 1 (of 2)5/13/2010 Death is part of life—but nobody really wants to die. And nobody—even chimpanzees—wants to experience the loss of a family member or friend. Chimpanzees Respond To Death Like Humans: Evidence For Evolution Or Creation? Part 2 Of 25/20/2010 Death is difficult—even for chimpanzees, as new research attests. A team of psychologists from the University of Sterling in Great Britain and an international team of collaborators studied chimpanzees in captivity and the wild, respectively. Results from both studies suggest chimps respond to death in much the same way that humans do, leading the researchers to conclude that the biological and behavioral distinctions between humans and chimpanzees are blurred. Chromosome 2: The Best Evidence For Evolution?June 1, 2010 What is the most compelling evidence for human evolution? Many people would say it’s the close genetic similarity between humans and chimpanzees. Dna Comparisons Between Humans and Chimps: a Response to Dennis Venema’s Critique of the Rtb Human Origins Model, Part 112/8/2010 The genetic similarity between organisms represents one of the most cited pieces of evidence for biological evolution. The idea is, if two organisms derive from the same ancestor, then they will have started their evolutionary journey with the same genetic make-up. Dna Comparisons Between Humans and Chimps: a Response to the Venema Critique of the Rtb Human Origins Model, Part 212/15/2010 What is the best evidence for human evolution? For many biologists it’s the high degree of genetic similarity between humans and chimpanzees. The similarity in DNA sequences between humans and chimps is often regarded as evidence that we evolved from a common ancestor, making chimps our closest living “relative” in the animal kingdom. Dna Comparisons Between Humans and Chimps: a Response to the Venema Critique of the Rtb Human Origins Model, Part 312/22/2010 Is the RTB model for the origin of humanity valid? Biologist Dennis Venema doesn’t think so. In a recently published critique, he evaluates the portion of our model in which we address genetic similarities between humans and chimps. Dna Comparisons Between Humans and Chimps: a Response to the Venema Critique of the Rtb Human Origins Model, Part 412/29/2010 For the last several weeks, I have been responding to biologist Dennis Venema’s criticisms of the RTB human origins model. Venema’s critique has centered on our views on the genetic similarity between humans and chimpanzees. Do Humans And Chimps Belong In The Same Genus?3/1/2004 A recent scientific study created a stir by asserting that humans and chimpanzees belong to the same genus.1 Morris Goodman, an evolutionary biologist from Wayne State University, and his research team generated this excitement when they compared human and chimpanzee genes.2 First Chimpanzee Fossils Cause Problems For Evolution1/1/2006 Where were you on September 1, 2005? Perhaps you missed the announcement of a scientific breakthrough: the influential journal Nature published the completed sequence of the chimpanzee genome. Human And Chimps Differ7/1/2001 Humans and chimps share 99 percent gene similarity. So goes one of the most common and seemingly convincing arguments that humans and chimpanzees arose from a common ancestor. New Brain Study Spoils Evolutionary DramaMarch 1, 2010 Genetic comparisons between humans and chimpanzees are like the dual versions of Othello. These two species harbor virtually the same genetic information, but that information presents itself in different ways. Pseudogenes And The Origin Of Humanity: A Response To The Venema Critique Of The Rtb Human Origins Model, Part 51/5/2011 Venema recently issued a second challenge, also published on the Biologos Foundation website, to our model. Specifically, Venema focuses on pseudogenes which are often cited as evidence in favor of human evolution. The Latest On Human-chimpanzee Genetic Comparisons, Part 1 Of 211/15/2007 In 1975 Mary-Claire King performed an analysis that also had far-reaching impact. She determined that several human and chimpanzee proteins display a 99% agreement in amino acid sequence. King’s work showed that humans and chimpanzees possess a closer genetic relatedness than anyone at that time had thought. The Latest On Human-chimpanzee Genetic Comparisons, Part 2 Of 211/29/2007 While working at the University of California, Berkeley, in the early 1970s, the burgeoning geneticist compared the amino acid sequences as well as the immunological and physical properties of several proteins isolated from humans and chimpanzees. The Neanderthal-human Soap Opera Continues11/8/2007 Human DNA Contamination Explains Away Genetic Evidence for Human-Neanderthal Interbreeding Tnrtb Classic: a Tangled Evolutionary Tree12/1/2011 On Monday, I outlined the reasoning that leads researchers to disregard important data in their search for genomic evidence to support the theoretical relationship between humans and great apes. Uniqueness Of Human Capacity To Express Malice11/12/2007 One of the cornerstone doctrines of the Christian faith is that humans alone among all life-forms on Earth are sinners. According to the Bible, all humans and only humans are born with the propensity to commit evil acts. That being the case, it should not be difficult for scientists to develop tests to confirm or deny this essential teaching of the Christian faith. Uniqueness Of Social Cognition In Humans10/22/2007 One of the cornerstone doctrines of the Christian faith is that humans alone among all life-forms on Earth are created in the image of God. Part of this image entails that humans are spiritual beings uniquely endowed with the physical apparatus to engage in spiritual activity.
