Now, a modern living human has been discovered who has Y-chromosome variation that increases the range of human DNA diversity beyond that of so-called archaic humans.

Here, buried in the third paragraph, we find a single sentence which should actually be the main focus of any article on these findings.

Who is this living human, and - considering that he is regarded as being as far or farther from "average" modern humans than Neanderthal Man and Denisovan Man - what does he look like?

As a believing Christian...but also an educated scientist....this stuff is a bunch of Bull Obama.

As an aside, the vast majority of my close associates also hold post-grad degrees in math/physics/engineering, and have strong religious beliefs...and NONE of them buy the output of that particular organization.

Modern humans, Neandertals, and Denisovans are all part of the same human “created kind.”

Yes, but HOW OLD are those species??

There is an element to the controversy that is often overlooked and that is simply looking at the final living chimpanzee and the skeleton of the dead Neanderthal. No matter what the genes do or donot say they “ain’t homo sapiens.”

“Neandertals are expected to be more closely related to some present-day humans than they are to each other.”

So the folks with Neanderthal DNA aren’t quite human?

“In fact, because the Y-chromosome undergoes very little DNA change, and is considerably larger in size than the mitochondrial genome, it is a much more reliable measure of human DNA diversity.”

Wow. This guy is either stupid or dishonest. The Y-chromosome undergoes MORE DNA change generation to generation than the rest of the genome. It is the fastest changing part of the human genome.

What else does this author either not know, or is he willing to lie about?
