The genome of a long-extinct ancient human is hi A reconstruction of Homo heidelbergensis, which may be a “ghost ancestor” detected in modern human DNA.

What are ghost ancestors in the human line? According to evolution, our ancestors interbred with at least two ancient human lineages in addition to Neanderthals and Denisovans, and now an improved method has given us a much better idea of which bits of our DNA came from them. In fact, it shows that nearly the entire genome of one of these “ghost ancestors” is preserved in small bits spread among all living humans.

But according to Genesis, Eve is the mother of all humans, so that this study is false.

In any person alive today, between 0.5 and 1 per cent of their DNA comes from this ghost ancestor, says Yulin Zhang at the University of California, Berkeley. But different people have different bits of DNA from them and, crucially, they are spread fairly evenly around the genome.

We all have bits of DNA from a long-lost “ghost ancestor” inside us – and by putting all the different bits together, we might be able to reconstruct their genome

When did humans start wearing clothes?

The answer varies. According of some evolutionists, early humans were in the trees, just like apes and learnt to walk on two feet, but they did not have fur, so that clothing became important,

As early humans evolved from ape-like ancestors, they came down from the trees, began to walk upright and lost their fur. But without fur, our ancestors would have been exposed to the elements. They would have needed clothing for protection.

Some evolutionist propose that some 1,2 millions years ago we lost our fur,  but lice was a problem, so they started to wear  clothes,

According to the real history in Genesis, men and women started to wear clothes after the fall in Genesis 3.

Evolutionists think that the earliest humans who may be Homo heidelbergensis walked some 560,000 years ago,The date is all wrong,

Archaeologists first found ancient hand axes at the site in Fordwich, Canterbury, in the 1920s,,”

Researchers estimate that the tools are about 560,000 to 620,000 years old.

The Pre-Human Evolution just became weirder

The pre-human evolution has became weirder. Evolutionists taught that the rift between the Neandertals and   early human stone culture was great but now scientist have shown us that it was not so.

Now scientist have come up with the fact that Neandertals and early humans culture existed for over 100,000 years.,

The study is based on the evolutionary scale of millions of years, that is spurious. the Neandertals were members of the adamic race of people who loved just after the flood of Noah.

According to the biblical model, the Neanderthals were Noah’s descendants who mostly lived in Europe during the ice ago following the global Flood. The harsh climate explains in part why they differed from us.

Ancient Hair Discovery Raises Questions About Dating Methods

Old human hairs were found in hyena coprolite. But just how old are they? Image courtesy of Wikipedia.

A new study published in the Journal of Archaeological Science raises new questions about the reliability of the ages assigned to ancient human fossils. Dr. Lucinda Backwell of the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, and her colleagues found old human hairs in coprolite or fossilised dung in a cave used by hyenas.

They assume that the hairs are 200 000 years old, which would by far be the oldest discovery of its kind. According to Dr. Backwell, “This find is so unusual as the human fossil record at this time is exceedingly poor, and of course hair is relatively fragile and degrades easily. It is the first non-bony material in the early hominid fossil record.”

The width of the hairs matches that of modern humans and the shape is also similar. In other words, the find does not support Darwinian evolution.

Backwell and her colleagues think that the hairs belonged to either Homo heidelbergensis or to what are assumed to be the earliest Homo sapiens.

From a creationist perspective, the find is interesting. Is it really logical to believe that human hairs can last 200 000 years? Like the recent discovery of soft tissue and collagen in a Hadrosaur bone thought to be 80 million years old, it seems to stretch credulity past the breaking point.
