QUESTION:
If age of Earth = 4.6 billion years,
Single cell life = 3.8 billion years ago,
Multicellular life = 1.5 billion years ago,
Using 200,000 years per speciation that would = 11,500 speciations to get from single cell to multicell life forms.
Frank Stephenson writes:
Through dating analysis, he and his colleague have shown that the forams could produce a whole new species in as little as 200,000 years -- speedy by Darwinian standards.

That leaves 7500 speciations to get to modern man, from Eukaryotic Cells.
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?
