In 2010, a new candidate was announced for humanity's evolutionary tree…Australopithecus sediba.¹ Now, recent analyses of its fossilized bones are being reported as further proof of its ancestral standing.

Something or someone supposedly walked across volcanic mud 3.66 million years ago, leaving behind footprints discovered in modern-day Laetoli, Tanzania.¹ Many who think modern humans evolved only about two million years ago have resisted interpreting these as human prints, because they are found in sediments that are "too old."

Various scientific studies have examined the mechanics of human locomotion. It looks as though mankind was made with an extremely efficient walking "gear." Can evolution be legitimately credited with the unique human leg ingenuity that this efficiency requires, or does the evidence better fit a more intelligent source?

One of the leading arguments for human evolution from a shared common ancestor with apes is the "chromosome 2 fusion model." This hypothetical model proposes that the end-to-end fusion of two small ape-like chromosomes resulted in the human chromosome 2, which supposedly explains the difference in chromosome numbers between humans and great apes.¹ A

What does it mean when two different species have the same "break points" in a supposedly broken gene? Does it suggest that God created them with similar features, or does it show that the two species evolved from one ancestor? How one answers this question may depend more on prior beliefs than evidence, but new findings make the latter scenario increasingly difficult to maintain.
