Re: Special Creation

>>Ok -- but isn't this effectively what we see now in the human genome?  In modern humans, there is not a great deal of genetic diversity throughout the existing population.  We are a young species.  Our genome, however, contains evidence of far more ancient haplotypes.  Observing where those haplotypes occur in the genome and the number of mutations between them permits the construction of a haplotype tree that permits estimates about population growth and gene flows.  So yes, the new Imago Dei man's ancestors would likely show limited genetic variability a couple hundred thousand years from now.  But since He inherited my genome intact, wouldn't a Haplotype tree of his ancestors' genome show the same evidence of ancient haplotypes that mine shows?  <<
