>> In combination, these new analyses will provide a much more detailed picture of what makes humans unique and will further demonstrate we are not evolved apes.<<

He left out “I hope.”

You can never say WILL when looking at a line of investigation.

Once again, self-referential Institute for Creative wRiting replaces science with sophistry.

I assume the research has already progressed to a point where he feels confident making that claim. You're a little over anxious to accuse anti-evos of some kind of of non-scientific attitude.

But actually it's not really possible to demonstrate we are not evolved from some other species. That's because someone would have to define some cutoff point in chimp-human DNA convergence below which it would be impossible we are "related", and no one has done so. It's another of those non-falsifiable claims of evolution theory. So he is technically wrong for saying it that way.
