Not a valid point in genetic science. Human children share the same genome as their human parents by definition - since they are in the same species.

I put the word fertile in my question for a purpose. In my question the newly evolved offspring has to produce viable gametes, and those gametes have to find a compatible gamete. IF ya don’t share the same genome, (ie in the same species) ya ain’t gonna produce viable offspring or fertile offspring.

In the classic example ‘we evolved from chimps’ - there are key chromosomal differences between humans and chimps (different species) that reliably preclude fertilization/implantation and the growth of a viable embryo - let alone produce a fertile offspring.

Demonstrable, reliable speciation by evolution is a key missing link in the modern model of evolution. Darwin thought he saw it in the phenotype. We can’t make it work in the genotype.

So lets go with your argument for a bit. By pure chance, ONE human offspring evolved in the moment of fertilization in a chimpanzee - a new, unique zygote. Then that weird offspring was not rejected by its parents, grew to the age of sexual maturity and by some amazing mathematical and genetic coincidence, ANOTHER human was born in the same geography and time span, with the exact same random recombined DNA and chromosomal structure, and managed to find human #1, mate and produce a viable population (without God’s help).

Yeeaaah, I can go with that.

Red herring. We didn't evolve from chimps.

Human children share the same genome as their human parents by definition - since they are in the same species.

That's because you need to look at the larger picture. The genetic differences between any one generation and the next are small. However after, say, 10,000 generations, there may be significant differences. Speciation occurs when you have two populations that are reproductively isolated. Look at bonobos and chimpanzees, closely related, but evolving differently after being separated from each other by the Congo River (which they're afraid to cross).

Human Children share enough of the same key genome as their parents to be compatible with other humans. Although cases such as Darwin’s Finches aren’t as dramatic as the ape to human speciation, as there. Overall, I have found a lot of things explained in today’s world to be highly improbable.
