Your participation in this line of thought presupposes that it does. If you are willing to concede the idea God created Adam and Eve apart from the rest of the planet, and suppose that their genetic markers would some how magically be any different than Monkey Man. Then by all accounts you have accepted the genesis record of creation at least for the sake of this argument. Of which the story of Noah is apart. thus creating the historical bottle neck that eliminates Monkey man.
