The program also revealed that other researchers, studying human genetics, had found evidence that humans came close to extinction between 70,000 and 80,000 years ago

Assuming one believes in evolution...

There were 2000 humans left alive. What's that got to do with evolution? We're about the same now as they were.

Sigh. Try to learn something about a topic before you let your knee jerk against it.

Tracing genetic lineages is a separate field of study than evolution (although the results of such examinations do provide a huge amount of support for evolution).

You're welcome to look over their methodology and tell us what you think they did wrong:

Gagneux P, Wills C, Gerloff U, Tautz D, Morin PA, Boesch C, Fruth B, Hohmann G, Ryder O, and Woodruff DS. 1999. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 96: 5077-5082.

Or is simple genetics going to be the next topic on the "we can't teach that stuff in our schools" hit list because it produces results that creationists find awkward to explain?
