The real story that science gives us, not some campfire stories perpetuated by some wine imbiding group of desert goat herders. The story told by DNA.

And what a story! Guess what, Europeans were not always white, blond and blue eyed. Au contraire mon cherie. They was brown, swarthy and probably smelly too. And then migrations came from the Middle East, and low and behold, brought Caucasian traits with them.

Now, homos erectus of course existed much before that in various stages of evolution. We left the other great apes to travel their separate evolutionary trek millions of years prior. Some 40,000 years ago, the last of the Neaderthals died out, although 3% of their DNA still exists in modern day Caucasians. Now, I know that some YEC are going to go all ape about that, but now you at least have a reason to.

Yeah, well. The "truth" in the Adam/Eve/Garden story goes something like this:

If you know what's good for you, you all will stay here in this equatorial zone where you don't have to wear clothes and you can eat fruits and berries and stuff. You will just have to put up the damned snakes.

What's wrong with snakes? It's the sunburn they had to worry about. No wait, they were in a garden full of trees. I think the problem was them running around naked causing them to breed too fast.

You are correct.

We came from a common primate ancestor, and chimps are our cousins.

Recently scientists said that humans actually have Neanderthal genes. How the theory of common ancestry explains this?
