If man evolved from monkeys, where are the monkeys that half-evolved into men?

[Weatherman2020]

One misspelling or out of place in any segment of a strand likely means disease. Not an improved condition.

A misspelling in a gene can lead to blue eyes in a child with brown-eyed parents (and accusations of marital infidelity). It can lead to a cleft chin or longer limbs. It's difficult to see in our pampered world how any of these permutations might lead to preferential survival ... But, for creatures, they exist in a very narrow window between procreation and extinction, any change could lead to one or the other.

The code for brown eyes already exists. Just because it becomes dominate does not mean it was a mutation created by chance.

Really? Name one condition of a missing or additional chromosome that has no effect.

A mutation isn't a missing or additional chromosome. The number of chromosomes in each organism is fixed. Humans, for example, have 46. A flea has 14. A mutation is a variation in the coding of a gene (20,000 or so make up a single human chromosome). If the constituent nucleotides that make up that gene are out of sequence or unreadable, the code they represent will not be passed to the replicating cell.

Now you are catching on. The number of chromosomes is fixed. We did not slowly gain additional chromosomes in an evolutionary process.

And there are over 30,000 genes in the human genome. One misspelling or out of place in any segment of a strand likely means disease. Not an improved condition.

Of course we gained chromosomes during evolution.

Actually, that's not true either. I should have said, in most cases. Actually, the number of chromosomes in an organism can vary both numerically and by structure. However, this happens much less frequently than gene permutations and these tend to be more severe mutations. Very, very few are beneficial, many are neutral, some are catastrophic. But they do occur and are transmitted genetically,

As an organism becomes more complex, the number of potential variations increase, but those variations become more subtle.

There has never been an instance of a mutation being beneficial. The only thing you cite is a submissive gene becoming dominate. But the code was already there.

Now you are talking outta your ass.

When you say in all of human history ... it took several million genetic permutations to go from this ...

To this ...

But, if you believe in the biblical creation of Beresheit (Genesis) then there still had to be hundreds of thousands of genetic mutations to go from a single pair of human to all the varieties of humans we have today.

Science fiction is not science.

 

[Bonzi]

Certainly, there ought to be a species of monkey that had half-evolved into a man, maybe half as smart as men, maybe able to read and write simple sentences, or able to drive a car or ride a horse?

But there is no such species as a half-man, half-monkey.

True, they have been able to teach sign language to apes, but it takes a great deal of human effort to do this, and you must feed apes constantly to keep them interested.

A human baby does not need treats to motivate it to learn, it is motivated by the learning process itself.

I've always wondered that myself. Such a flawed theory...

You are thinking that a monkey wants to be human. They are anatomically different. Monkeys do not have a hand architecture to write. They have no problem communicating.

You want them to write. They don't care.

Evolution has to do with "want" .... ?

Lucy is not fiction ... we have her skeleton. Lucy Liu isn't fiction, I have her autographed picture. If you believe Adam and Eve are science fiction, then I'm not sure on what your base your theory of creation.

Good example. They all have the same genetic code. The differences are simply which codes are dominant.

No, they all have variations in their genetic code. Two organisms with the exact same genetic codes are called twins. You're saying that all music is identical because they all contain the same set of musical notes. The difference lies in how those notes are arranged.

But, if you believe in a human origin from a single pair of humans ... how is it that their DNA isn't prevalent in all their human descendants? If Adam and Eve were black, for example, where did Asians come from, or the Swedes?

Where were they?

For a number of years in Chicago.

Then Washington.

Now?

Anywhere somebody's willing to pay them to be.

Oh brother LOL

We need to tell the FBI not to waste their time on DNA fingerprinting

 

[MarkDuffy]

We also need to tell ancestry.com to stop lying that they can tell you where your ancestors came from.

The religionists claim we are all the same

I'm a 6-2 blonde Viking. In my DNA there is also code for me to be a 5-1 Asian. It's all just a matter of which ones are dominate.
