OK., Now they're saying chimpanzees and orangutans diverged from Human ancestors?

Quote

Is it just me or has the scientific community done a complete turn around? I thought they used to say that man diverged from monkeys(Not that I agreed with Darwin anyway)? Someone posted this news article at GLP, did anyone catch the highlighted and underlined part?

Did a Mutation Give Humans Thought? -Scientists Say "Yes"

Daily Galaxy
2008-10-16
Although humans and chimpanzees genetically vary by just 1.2 percent, that small percentage makes a world of difference in the mental and linguistic capabilities between the two species. A study shows that a certain form of neuropsin, a protein that plays a role in learning and memory, is expressed only in the central nervous systems of humans. The scientists conclude that this critical difference originated less than 5 million years ago.

Dr. Bing Su of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Kunming, China, and other researchers analyzed the DNA of humans and several species of apes and monkeys. Previously they had found that type II neuropsin, a longer form of the protein, is not expressed in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of lesser apes and Old World monkeys. In the new study, they tested the expression of type II in the PFC of two great ape species, chimpanzees and orangutans, and found that it was not present in these closely related species either. Since these two species diverged most recently from human ancestors (about 5 and 14 million years ago respectively), this finding demonstrates that type II is a human-specific mutation and originated relatively recently.The researchers note that more studies should look further into the biological function of type II neuropsin in humans, in order to understand the genetic basis that underlies the traits that set humans apart from nonhuman primates.

*The study was published online in Human Mutation, the official journal of the Human Genome Variation Society.

John 3:16 (Amplified Bible)
“For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ([a]unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.”

do not think that is what this article is saying, it looks like it is saying that humans have something that apes do not and that something is relatively new probably like 6000 years, since that is about how long ago that adam was created by God guess darwin is wrong ;)

chimps and humans share a common ancestor line... the chimps diverged from it at some point... and then later, humans developed from that common ancestor... has always been taught like that we are 'cousins' of chimps they are not our great grandfathers...

I think the article is interesting. We know the genetic mutations occur more spontaneously and faster than we thought previously. We also know that they are tied to solar output. In other words, the magnetic/radioactive spectrum breaks the chromosomes which then allows for the new genetic diversity to occur.

Instead of posting bs about the "god" thing, how about a legitimate response to the article?

Where it all began

A little girl wrote to Sarah Palin and asked;

'How did the human race start?'

Sarah Palin answered, 'God made Adam and Eve;

They had children; and so was all mankind made.'

Two days later the girl wrote to Michelle Obama

And asked the same question.

Michelle Obama answered,

'Many years ago there were monkeys from

Which the human race evolved.'

The confused girl went to her father and said,

'Dad, how is it possible that Sarah Palin told me

The Human race was created by God,

And Michelle Obama said they evolved from monkeys.'

The father answered, 'Well, Dear, it is very simple,

Sarah Palin told you about her ancestors

And Michelle Obama told you about hers.'
