[QUOTE="seebs, post: 176602, member: 2070"] I read it. It's bunk. They don't know what skin color is, or how it happens; they're assuming it's a single axis of variance. In fact, no amount of breeding among mixed white/black people will *EVER* get you red or yellow. You need all four groups... and the "mixed" people wouldn't stay mixed for any length of time, so we should have heard about the races. You won't get the asian eyelid difference in a short period of time; that one goes *WAY* back. Well, what year do you think Babel happened in? Obviously, it can't be *THAT* far back; Noah came along many generations after Adam, so at least 2000 years later, so we *can't* be more than 4000 years back for Noah - maybe 4.5k at most - and the world has to have mostly repopulated... and *then* we get Babel. The Babel thing is "supported" the way Greek myths are "supported"; you see embryonic versions of the story being retold. The Chinese were a large, vibrant, and distinct culture by 1200BC, when they were writing early forms of what is now Chinese. That's *AWFULLY* early... And keep in mind that Central America was also settled a fairly long time ago; they had writing by 500BC. We have no practical explanation for how they got there unless they did it over a land bridge that probably hasn't existed for a *LONG* time. The earliest known Summerian writing dates to 3300BC. It thus clearly predates the flood, and indeed, has to have been written during Adam's lifetime... except that it's the wrong language! I really think human culture, genetic diversity, and language are not adequately understood. If the site you referenced is the best we can find... that's pretty bad. If you'd like, I can ask my friend who's doing molecular biology read it. I bet she'd break out laughing. BTW, they cheat fairly substantially; they start with "let's assume there's only two genes", and then go on to show how, with just two genes, they could get some of the results they need. What they can't do is come up with a remotely plausible set of, say, eight people, from whom you could get the dozen or so recognized ethnic groups of the world in under 10,000 years. [/QUOTE]
