HUMAN ACCELERATED REGIONS OF HUMAN DNA
Now that we have the technology to study the details of the DNA of different species there has been a lot of interest to try to find out when the DNA of humans would have evolved. What was found is that there are many regions of DNA that are the same in many different species. This is explained by creationists as God using similar types of DNA codes for similar types of functions in many kinds of life forms. That makes sense.
Evolutionists explain life as evolving from each other because of DNA changes (mutations) and they have to explain how the DNA changes to make new life forms. They are also looking to try to find when it changed. Now that it is known that there is so much that has never changed, there is a need to explain why that is, if evolution is true. These regions in the DNA that are unchanged or minimally changed among different species are called ‘conserved sequences’ and are common even in primates like chimpanzees that we are told are our ancestors who lived in the trees of tropical forests. A focus of research has been to find changes in these regions that make humans different. These portions of DNA in humans that are not in chimpanzees are called human accelerated regions (HARs).
This may sound more complicated than it is. The facts are that most of the DNA of chimpanzees and humans are the same. The little bit that is different is called human accelerated regions (HARs). The problem evolutionists have is they have to explain how these very few differences in the DNA between chimpanzees and humans came to evolve and make us so different than chimpanzees.
Evolutionists who study these HAR’s have found “a burst of changes in humans since divergence from chimpanzees” and cannot explain “This unexpected evolutionary signature”. They can only say, “Since their discovery, the actual roles of HARs in human evolution have remained somewhat elusive”. The “somewhat” is an understatement. They have absolutely no idea! Their existence is “unexpected” if we evolved from chimpanzees, and having them suddenly appear in a “burst” contradicts the most basic evolutionary requirement of slow changes over of millions of years. This discussion was presented in the article, “Exploring the genesis and functions of Human Accelerated Regions sheds light on their role in human evolution” which was published in the journal Current Opinion in Genetics and Development.
How many HAR’s are there? Only 49 of these have been found. It is illogical to think there are 49 areas where DNA has changed that would make a chimpanzee into a human, but these human accelerated regions must be where the changes would be, if there was a change, since we can now analyze the DNA of both humans and chimpanzees. Evolutionists may find a few more, but can never account for a human from a chimpanzee! Equally significant as the changes of what humans have that chimpanzees do not, is what is now ‘missing’ in humans that chimpanzees have. There are over 500 of these ‘deletions’ where the human DNA does not have what the chimpanzee DNA has.
Evolution has more information as things get more complex, but what is found is that things are gone, deleted, and missing in more advanced life forms compared to what we are told they evolved from. That is the opposite of what is expected. Evolutionists expected to find in DNA the answer of how we came from chimpanzees, but now that we can look at the DNA, there is no answer. The answer will remain “elusive”.
Human DNA and chimpanzee DNA is very different. That is a fact. The problem is there is no way to explain how human DNA could have evolved from chimpanzee DNA. For evolution to be true there must be more than that they are different. Evolution has to have human DNA evolve from chimpanzee DNA. We know all about the human DNA and all about chimpanzee DNA. They are very different of course, because humans and chimpanzees are very different. But the differences cannot be explained based on changes from chimpanzee DNA to human DNA. Evolutionists thought that once we knew the order or sequence of chimpanzee DNA and human DNA that it would show what changes happened in the DNA for humans to evolve from a chimpanzee. Now that this research is done and we know the sequences of the DNA for both chimpanzees and humans, it doesn’t make any sense how humans evolved from a chimpanzee.
Evolution cannot be true if the humans did not evolve from chimpanzees. It is a necessary condition, but it is a published fact in peer reviewed scientific journals that human accelerated regions of DNA do not explain humans from chimpanzees.
Humans, apes and monkeys are all in the class of primates. However, you do not need to be the head of the class or become a primatologist to know:
If human accelerated regions of human DNA could not evolve from chimpanzee DNA, then evolution logically cannot be possible.
