Neanderthal Mitochondrial DNA(Edit)

• Supposedly had music, art, etc.
• DNA sequence shows not-human
• x Neanderthal-time modern teeth in Asia
• x Present in current genome

Chromosomal Fusion(Edit)

• Humans, 23 pairs; Primates, 24 pairs
• ∴ fused
• Telomeres @ ends of chromosomes fuse two chromosomes together, yielding a pair of centromeres (one inactive)
• Chromosome #2 is fused 114455823 to 114455848
• Telomeric duplication
• x "Casey Luskin" rebuttal

Endogenous Retroviral DNA (E.R.V.)(Edit)

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1fGkFuHIu0#t=8m
• Virus deactivated, integrated into sperm DNA (which is then passed on)
• 4% of human DNA is viral DNA (human genome = 3 billion base-pairs long)
• "Independent validation of the phylo-genetic tree of evolution"

Summation(Edit)

• Evolutionary Ecology
• Paleontology
• Comparative Anatomy,
• Comparing, e.g.,
• brains of: parrots, hummingbirds, songbirds, humans ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CvX_mD5weM#t=4m09s )
• Bones of human, cat, whale, horse, etc. appendages
• Subtle variations of BMP4 affect (Wait, doesn't this simply demonstrate an interesting thing about creation?)

Embryology(Edit)

• Organisms passing through stages characteristic of predecessors, e.g.:
• Humans having gill slits, tail
• Won't find non-mammalian that has nipples during development
• 'Wiki "protostome" or "cleavage embryo" and go from there.'
• Developmental Genetics
• pubmed.com - Nucleotide sequences

• Metabolic "field guide"
• 16S typing, Jaccard's coefficient
• Mutation Studies
• Transmission Genetics,
• Population & Quantitative Genetics
• Fossil record
• Predicts that we will never find a poodle from the Permian layer
• Simpler lifeforms at lower strata, more complex at higher
• Strata vs. Relative depth (something creationists often confuse)
• Pangaea + fossil pattern
• "Will never find a complex mammal fossil on an island, because the continents broke up before mammals evolved"

Argument by Education Statistics(Edit)

Atavisms(Edit)

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K11knFKqW4s
• Mammals, birds can re-display reptile properties, but mammals-birds never cross over + predicting (e.g., never find a half-bird, half-mammal)
• tails, extra nipples

Transitional Fossils:(Edit)

• Whales/Dolphins
• "From 4-legged land mammals"
• Nostrils moving up toward top
• Inner ear transitioning from land-tuned to water-tuned
• Hind-legs/Fins devolving/evolving
• Echolocation

Stuff to Think about(Edit)

"Evolution's Hall of Shame" - Some goofy stuff, but some potent stuff.
