Ancient DNA suggests new hominid line

Would this explain the origin of Liberals?

From “Darwin’s Ghost” by Steve Jones; page 284

“A hunt for similarity through the dozen and more DNA sequences now known in all their detail, and the hundreds for which long segments have been worked out, reveals the very framework of existence. About a thousand genes are shared by every organism, however simple or complicated. Although their common ancestor must have lived more than a billion years ago, their shared structure can still be glimpsed. “

[Captain Steve]

Maybe the most important statement in the article is, ““That number of differences is good evidence for a new hominid because simple variation can’t account for it,” remarks geneticist Morten Rasmussen of the University of Copenhagen.”

Again, “simple variation can’t account for it.” That statement is real science.

The more we know about DNA, mutation, variation and the fossil record, the more at a loss we are to explain the origin of mankind. For those who begin with the conclusion that there is no God, they have no other choice than to make things up, be it alien origins or this evidentially unknown “new member of the human evolutionary family.”

So true about those who begin with the conclusion that there is no God. I have heard it stated this way...”let’s start out by agreeing that there is no number four, now answer the question...2 + 2 = ?”

By excluding the answer before asking the question all that is left is to make things up as they go.
