I believe in God or a higher power and we are a part of a plan that is beyond our understanding. But no, I did not evolve from apes. Absolutely ridiculous notion.
Evolution does not say that man evolved from apes.
Some preacher figured out the world was 6,000 or so years old from biblical genealogy. He was wrong.
60,000 years is about 3,000 generations and that is plenty of time for humans or anything else to adopt to different and or changing environmental conditions by natural selection.
It was Archbishop Usher who decided that the earth was created on 22 October 4004 BC. What a dunce.
Just a question and I do not know the answer. Why do so many Mexicans look like they have Oriental features? I thought Mexicans were descendants of Spanish and Natives.

Natives came from Asia 12,000 years ago. I thought this is basic knowledge.
By the way, it's considered offensive by many to use the word "Oriental" to describe people.

But the Native Americans still in North America don't have Asian features like those in Mexico. Neither do the ones in South America and yet they are supposed to have common ancestors from those who crossed Beringia.

According to science, Homo Sapiens left Africa about 100,000 years ago. And, Europeans and Asians are separated only about 60,000 years ago.
Is 100,000 years really long enough for people to evolve so differently to get the result of Africans and whites? Is 60,000 years really long for people to be so different as the whites and Asians? Do you think other "humans" were inter-mixed with them to create these differences?
I don't think the differences between any of the groups is that great.
I think that archaic Y DNA finding was retracted after it didn't account for the mutation rate. It's just an earlier variant of haplogroup E.
There hasn't been any retraction. I know that another study disputes the findings. The author of the original study, Michael Hammer, is one of the leaders in the field of human genetics. The author of the critique,
Eran Elhaik, has publicly taken issue with idea of introgression by other hominids into the human genome. He seems to believe in a literal Adam and Eve and has stated doozies like this in response to the first study:
“In fact, their hypothesis creates a sort of space-time paradox whereby the most ancient individual belonging to Homo sapiens species has not yet been born. If we take the numerical results from previous studies seriously we can conclude that the past may be altered by the mother of Adam deciding not to conceive him in the future, thus, bringing a retroactive end to our species.”

We still have a lot to find out.
