How is it possible for Modern man to evolve from Eukaryotic Cells in only 7500 speciations when it took 11,500 to go from single cell to Eukaryotic Cells?
​
Since single cell Eukaryotic life forms are genetically closer to humans (and other eukariotic life forms) then they are to procariotic single cell life forms, You wouldn`t have a paradox even if you assumed a linear evolutionary rate through all evolutionary history, which in itself is already a shaky assumption to say the least

I have a problem understanding how Dinohippus can be an intermediate between Pliohippus and Equus when Pliohippus didn't exist until 5.3 million years ago. If he is then we have an unaccounted for time period of 5.7 million years.
How is the 5.3 million date a problem? Intermediate simply means in between.
​
The question remains with only 7500 levels how did modern man evolve from the Eukaryotic Cells.
I don`t think this counting of levels make any sense, but even assuming the method has something to it, how isn`t 7500 levels enought?

Re: Re-Numbers
If Man evolved from the chimp in only 10 levels there would have to be many freaky looking fossils to be found, which does not exist.
There are plenty of fossils. if you believe there should be more, can you share with us the reason why? Just telling us you think there should be more is just an statement of opinion. Not good enough a reason for us to drop a theory which is otherwise born by the evidence.
​
RAZD's horse took 66 million years to develop.
The forams took 66 million years to create 330 species of forams.
One species of forams remained the same for 500,000 years.
I am supposed to believe man did it from chimps in 2.6 million years.
​
Like I said that is too much to swallow.
So, is that it? Is it all a matter of you finding it hard to swallow? I couldn`t care less. Your incredulity is proof that you are incredulous, nothing more.
​
Give us one well thought out, evidence based, real reason to even raise a brow, for crying out loud, would you?
