TCM - Human OriginsA Burgoo of Human Origin Discoveries3/13/2008 Three New Studies Support Biblical Account of Humanity’s Creation A Fashionable Find1/1/2002 Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. What about necklace beads made from seashells? A study conducted by anthropologists indicates that seashell beads were the rage near the time modern humans first appeared.1 The timing of this fashion-conscious behavior provides support for the biblical account of humanity’s origin. Agriculture's Origin Fits Rtb Human Origins Model4/1/2005 Did Adam and Eve really exist? Some people say no. They view the biblical account of humanity's beginning as mythical. However, recent scientific advances substantiate the historicity of the biblical record,1 and now a new discovery sheds light on an apparent discrepancy regarding the emergence of agriculture. Arts Own Big Bang Affirms Special Creation1/1/1999 If the naturalists and Darwinists were right about the evolution of humankind, we would expect both the quantity and quality of human artwork to increase gradually over time. New research, however, shows that the opposite is the case. Anthropologists have discovered what they call the “big bang” of artistic expression. Previous to about 40,000 years ago, art appears to have been both rare and “rough,” or crude. Cain Worked The Soil And Abel Tended The Flocks10/25/2007 New insight into the origin of agriculture buttresses a weak spot in RTB’s human origins model. 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. Chromosome Study Stuns Evolutionists7/1/1995 A new study by evolutionary biologists Robert Dorit (Yale), Hiroshi Akashi (University of Chicago), and Walter Gilbert (Harvard) flies in the face of prevailing origin-of-man scenarios. In an attempt to trace the ancestry of humans, these researchers looked for genetic differences in the Y chromosome of 38 men living in different parts of the world and having different ethnic backgrounds. Creation Vs. Evolution: Why A Model Is Essential8/25/2008 The public debate about teaching intelligent design has exposed widespread confusion both inside and outside the church about how the scientific enterprise operates. One of the most frequent complaints scientists make about the Intelligent Design movement is that their brand of intelligent design is not testable, falsifiable, or predictive. Curvaceous Anatomy Of The Female Spine Reveals Ingenious Obstetric Design2/14/2007 The arch in the small of your lower back is known as the “lumbar lordosis” and it plays an important role in allowing humans to stand upright and walk on two feet. Did Neanderthals And Humans Interbreed?4/1/2004 Despite compelling evidence,1 a minority of paleoanthropologists still believe (as do some Christians) that Neanderthals made a genetic contribution to modern humans through interbreeding. If Neanderthals interbred with modern humans, then by definition, they must be human. Diseases Follow Human Origin And Spread4/1/2003 Perception doesn’t always match reality. Such is the case when it comes to the question of human origins. Some Christians perceive that scientific advance affirms evolution and negates biblical creation. But in reality, scientists investigating humanity’s origin have made no discoveries that challenge a biblical understanding of origins. In fact, recent advances in genetics provide compelling support for that perspective. Dna Study Cuts Link with the Past7/1/2000 The slender thread of hope held by paleontologists and anthropologists for establishing a link between Neandertals and modern humans has been severed at last. This conclusion comes from studies reported by two research teams, one from the University of Stockholm and the other from the University of Glasgow, and it carries profound implications for the evolutionary hypothesis. Equipped For High-tech Society7/1/2004 Human beings seem vastly "over-endowed" for hunter-gatherer or agrarian existence. For tens of thousands of years humanity carried intellectual capacities that offered no discernable advantage. From a Darwinian perspective, such capacities would be unlikely to arise and, even if they had randomly emerged, they would likely have been eliminated or minimized by natural selection. Eve's Secret To Growing Younger1/1/1998 A new discovery about a genetic phenomenon called "heteroplasmy" revises the date for our oldest female ancestor, Eve. Previous research on mitochondrial DNA (the DNA present in organelles outside the cell's nucleus) fixed the earliest date for Eve at 150,000 years ago. Evidence That Humans Are Evolving Is Not Evidence For Human Evolution5/24/2007 Ancient DNA Analysis Sheds Insight into the Micro-Evolutionary Origin of Lactase Persistence First Footwear Dates To 40,000 Years Ago7/17/2008 New Research Supports Biblical View of Human Origins Flipper Beware!11/13/2008 Neanderthals Ate Dolphins and Seals - According to new research, Neanderthals were fond of dolphins as well.* But instead of delighting in watching them perform, these hominids liked to eat them. From Whence Do We Come? Part 1 Of 210/4/2007 Recent Fossil Find and Human Evolution From Whence Do We Come? Part 2 (of 2)10/11/2007 Recent Fossil Find and Human Evolution Hobbit Walk Speaks Volumes5/15/2008 New research confirms biological differences between H. floresiensis and modern humans Hope I Die When I'm Really Old7/10/2008 New Discovery Make Sense of Long Life Spans in Genesis 5 and 11 Human Curiosity As Evidence For God10/1/2004 Why do human beings ask why? Does this driving curiosity simply reflect humans' intellectual superiority? According to evolutionary theory, the distinctions between humans and other species are matters of degree, not of kind. What does careful observation reveal? Human Or Hobbit?10/1/2007 "Middle Earth" is not a real place. Humans, dwarves, elves, and hobbits never lived together. But in the fall of 2004, Australian and Indonesian paleoanthropologists stunned the archeological world when they published evidence for hobbit-sized hominids (see “Who Were the Hominids?”) that coexisted for a time with modern humans. In The Habitable Zone But With No Water7/11/2007 Planets around M dwarf stars have generated a lot of interest lately—especially with the recent discovery of an earth-mass planet in the region where liquid water could exist on the surface. Little People Cause Big Excitement4/10/2008 Does Palau Island Discovery Challenge the Status of Homo floresiensis? Long Life Spans: "adam Lived 930 Years And Then He Died"1/1/2001 “Adam lived 930 years and then he died.” The mere assertion that humans could live more than 900 years—as Genesis 5:5 states—seems, for many people, nothing short of absurdity. Long Noses Give Insight Into Intelligence And Evolution7/21/2008 Does biological evolution tend towards a direction? And does that direction lead to intelligence that enhances survivability? Many scientists have assumed that it does, particularly those involved in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute. However, a recent article casts doubt on the idea that smartness inevitably gives survival advantage. Neanderthal-to-human Link Severed4/1/2003 Over the last five years, astonishing advances in ancient-DNA analysis have provided remarkable insight into Neanderthal genetics. As a result, the evolutionary connection between humans and Neanderthals has been severed. In other words, evolutionary biologists no longer think of Neanderthals as a transitional species linking the primitive bipedal primates, such as Homo erectus, to modern humans. Neanderthals Not Responsible For Large Human Brains6/28/2007 Latest Genetic Evidence Indicates No Interbreeding between Neanderthals and Humans New Clues To A Genesis Mystery1/1/2005 Medical doctors say if you live long enough you'll probably get cancer. Cancer is one reason why none of us can live much beyond 120 years.1 How is it possible, then, that humans (before Noah) could have lived 900 years or more, as the Bible says? Reduced exposure to cancer risk factors may provide at least a partial answer. New Date For First Aussies4/1/2004 Australia, do we have a problem? It may seem so, or at least it did a few years ago. The RTB creation model places the creation of humanity at roughly 50,000 years ago, with the spread of peoples and civilization outward from Mesopotamia some time after that, but probably no earlier than 30,000 years ago. New Y Chromosome Studies Continue To Support A Recent Origin And Spread Of Humanity7/1/2000 Two related studies recently reported by an international team from Stanford University, University of California at Berkeley, and Oxford University add to the growing weight of evidence supporting a recent origin of humanity that is in line with the biblical date. Nothing Much To Talk About6/5/2008 Neanderthal Speech Gene May be Due to Contamination Scientists Send Note Home: Source Of Ancient Lice Outbreak In America Uncovered3/20/2008 Lice DNA Supports Biblical Account of Humanity’s Creation So Easy A Caveman Could Do It? Part 1 (of 2)8/13/2007 The slogan of the popular Geico commercials is now familiar to most television viewing people. It shows the frustration, resentment, and anger of cavemen toward certain twenty-first century corporate executives who portray their company’s product as being so easy to use that these mere cavemen can do it. It is a marvelously successful ad campaign. So Easy A Caveman Could Do It? Part 2 (of 2)8/20/2007 Last week we explored one aspect of human nature—language—that sets humans apart from animals and we proposed the neural synapse as a mechanism by which a Creator could communicate with humans. In the second part of this article we will consider mind and matter interaction documented by the clinical studies of patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Speaking About A Controversy, Part 1 Of 212/20/2007 Does the Presence of “Speech” Gene Mean Neanderthals Had Language? Speaking About A Controversy, Part 2 Of 21/3/2008 Does the Presence of a “Speech” Gene Mean Neanderthals Had Language? An article recently published in Current Biology has generated a lot of excitement about the possibility of Neanderthal language capacity. The Case For Human Evolution Loses Some Teeth1/17/2008 Dental Anatomy Gives Important Clues on Hominid Growth and Development 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 Leap To Two Feet: The Sudden Appearance Of Bipedalism10/1/2001 Did man crawl his way into existence over millions of years? Or did he leap to two feet by supernatural design? Did humans emerge from amoebas or did a Creator intend for life to possess purpose, value, and meaning? The Neanderthal-human Soap Opera Continues11/8/2007 Human DNA Contamination Explains Away Genetic Evidence for Human-Neanderthal Interbreeding There’s Something Special About Mom8/16/2007 Division of Labor Points to Important Differences between Humans and Neanderthals Toumai Man Offers Evolutionists No Hope10/1/2002 This discovery is just “the tip of [the] iceberg—one that could sink our current ideas about human evolution.”1 Science writer John Whitfield typifies the reaction of paleontologists as they learned about an astounding fossil discovery recently reported in Nature. 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. Were The Hobbits Cretins?4/24/2008 New research raise questions about the identity of Homo floresiensis, or does it? Wheat Tells A Story Of Beginnings1/1/1999 DNA “fingerprinting” helps with investigations beyond the criminal courtroom. In one recent case, this research technique was applied to the study of agriculture’s origin, and the results provide a significant corroboration of biblical historicity. According to that study, Why Aren't There Any 900-year Old Human Fossils?10/1/2005 "You don't really believe that humans lived to be 900 years old, do you?" A well-known local atheist posed this question last spring (2005) when I spoke in Albany, New York. For many skeptics the long life spans recorded in Genesis chapters 5 and 11 seem absurd. If anything, anthropological evidence seems to indicate that humans who lived just thousands of years ago had shorter life spans than they do today. Why Shorter Life Spans?1/1/2001 None of the explanations offered in the accompanying article imply that God randomly selected the life span of early humans or that He simply reacted to natural disasters in shortening human life.
