  1. Does The EvidenceSupport Evolution? “More than a century ago, Darwin and Huxley posited that humans share recent common ancestors with the African great apes. Modern molecular studies have spectacularly confirmed this prediction…” 2005

  2. Human 46 telomeres Chimpanzee 48 centromere Gorilla 48 1958 Human chromosome number is 46. 1960 Chimpanzee chromosome number is 48. 1975 Detailed analysis confirms common ancestry. 1982 Telomeres in the middle of human chromosome 2. 1961 Gorilla and orangutan chromosome numbers are 48. 1980 Banding patterns of humans and chimpanzees match. Orangutan 48 1980: Banding patterns of humans and chimpanzees match. 1961: Gorilla and orangutan chromosome numbers are 48. 1982: Telomeres in middle of human chromosome 2. 1975: Detailed analysis confirms common ancestry. 1960: Chimpanzee chromosome number is 48. 1958: Human chromosome number is 46. Evolution is TestableHuman & Ape Chromosome Numbers Hypothesis: Human chromosome 2 resulted from the fusion of two chromosomes present in the common ancestor of humans and the other great apes.

  3. telomeres centromere 2005 Chimpanzee genome sequenced. 1992 Second centromere discovered. 2002 Precise fusion point sequenced. 1958 Human chromosome number is 46. 1991 Sub-telomeric sequence confirmed. 1960 Chimpanzee chromosome number is 48. 1975 Detailed analysis confirms common ancestry. 1982 Telomeres in the middle of human chromosome 2. 1961 Gorilla and orangutan chromosome numbers are 48. 1980 Banding patterns of humans and chimpanzees match. 1991: Sub-telomeric sequence confirmed. 2005: Chimpanzee genome sequenced. 2002: Precise fusion point sequenced. 1992: Second centromere discovered.
