Author | Topic: Why is evolution so controversial? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
zaius137 Member (Idle past 3439 days) Posts: 407 Joined: |
quote: The evidence of a very recent ancestor is closer than ever. The linkage disequilibrium is moving too fast according to new findings. The suggestion is that evolution is moving 100 times faster than thought. If a individual was determined to be an ancestor of 500,000 tears ago they might only be as recent as 5,000 years.
We are more different genetically from people living 5,000 years ago than they were different from Neanderthals. Genome study places modern humans in the evolutionary fast lane Now there is a coalescence of sorts in these findings. The finding that point mutations are happening at a slower rate than once predicted (~ 1.1 x10^-8 as opposed to 2.58 x 10^-8... about half) and that linkage disequilibrium is occurring 100 times faster than predicted. A recent origin is the best explanation. The mutation rate in humans can not support a 5.6 million year divergence from chimps and measured linkage disequilibrium dictates a young origin of humans.
"UW-Madison anthropologist John Hawks estimates that positive selection just in the past 5,000 years alone around the period of the Stone Age has occurred at a rate roughly 100 times higher than any other period of human evolution." Genome study places modern humans in the evolutionary fast lane

quote: First question I ask myself when going to bed at night At least for now my question excludes idiot. In case that question ever pops up at night, How do you answer? An idiot, dolt, or dullard is an intellectually disabled person, or someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way. Idiot - Wikipedia

quote: sfs unbelievable. Why are you even talking to me? I thought you had enough our last go-around. Well as for my part I really like talking to you. So let’s see if I can turn you into a creationist (obviously I failed last time). I will first ask you your opinion on why how much easier it is to detect recent selection than older selection.

Razd my friend this conversation is a topic in itself But my plan is to lead into it slowly I think that slowing down to address other details at the moment might help. We will tie all this in my friend. Thanks for getting back to the conversation, i thought you dropped out from boredom.

quote: Is this the gist of your opinion?
quote: I have read some information concerning the topic of classic selective sweeps in humans. The claim is that there might be zero evidence that they happened in recent evolution. I think that would be about 250,000 years in evolution perspective. A young genome of say 6000 years might just work out fine. Please speculate. Edited by zaius137, : corrected from the paper

Sorry Coyote We need to talk about your points, but since I am the Creationist here (population 1). Can we stay on the immediate topic. I think that time will bring us back to your points.
