but how does population fit an evolutionary timescale. Extrapolate back and most studies end up around 4-5000 years with a handful of people.
But if you don't extrapolate, and look instead at the data and the fossils and the leavings of people in prehistory, you eventually end up looking at transitional species like
Homo erectus and such. Apply your logic to populations of houseflies, and you'll find they were created in September 2007.
"The wretched world lies now under the tyranny of foolishness; things are believed by Christians of such absurdity as no one ever could aforetime induce the heathen to believe." - Agobard of Lyons,
ca. 830 AD
