That’s not what I believe, but yes that’s the highest estimate I have seen for the origin of man, it is a wide range though depending upon what you read. You’re right though, most Darwinists put it around 250,000 years.

Quote: Why A10 can't mate with A1? because its genetics became sufficiently different for incompatibilities to appear in the DNA... or something like that.
But I thought we were only changing beaks? Shouldn’t the rest of the genes remain very similar and compatible?

Quote: The first homo sapiens would have been able to mate with the population that gave birth to it. The homo sapiens traits simply gave it an edge that enabled its offspring to be more successful turning some genetic features of the previous population recessive, while the homo sapiens' became dominant.
I think we’re really stretching at the definition of a species here, but ok.
Quote: I read somewhere that some people still have, nowadays, neanderthal genes running around.... recessive that have no influence, but they're still there.
Yes, but that really demonstrates that the Neanderthals were really just Humans right? I believe this is supported by the mapping of the Neanderthal genome recently conducted (which also interestingly concluded that Neanderthals and Humans interbred after Humans moved out of Africa).

Would you say that homo sapiens are 'more evolved' than fish? Of course not (try living underwater without equipment). Evolution is about adaption to the environment, not about being more evolved than another species that may or may not exist in a varying habitat.
I realize what you’re saying but I think it’s in error. Many people groups would have kept progressing as others were frozen in time so to speak. According to Darwinian Theory Aboriginals should be a snap shot of what other people groups in Asia and Europe looked like thousands of years ago because the Aboriginals are essentially still living in the Stone Age. Yet, genetically and mentally there’s no significant difference between Aboriginals and say Europeans; so even though the two groups have experienced thousands of years of genetic isolation and completely different selective pressures apparently no actual Evolution has taken place. Thoughts?
