Descent of Humans
Introduction
Are humans just advanced apes or are we more than that? Is Genesis a fairy tale, with its long life spans that is contradicted by modern evolutionary biology? Did we originate in Africa or Eden? Doesn't molecular biology show that we are descended from now extinct hominids?

Who Was Adam?: A Creation Model Approach to the Origin of Man Are humans just advanced apes or have they been specially created in the image of God? Publications by scientists almost never ask the question, whereas publications by theists seldom examine the scientific data that relates to the question. However, two scientists raised in non-Christian homes, Fuz Rana (Ph.D. in chemistry) and Hugh Ross (Ph.D. in astronomy), have written a new book (Who Was Adam?: A Creation Model Approach to the Origin of Man) that examines the question of human origins by comparing biblical and evolutionary models.

Origin of the Human Species?
Dr. Dennis Bonnette offers a
philosophical analysis of the theory of evolution with particular application to
human origins. Dr. Bonnette presents evolutionary theories (both theistic and
non-theistic), along with creationists' explanations. Dr. Bonnette, being a
Roman Catholic, defends the traditional Roman Catholic interpretation of human
origins from the book of Genesis. Although he does not take an official position
on the superiority of any one theistic model, his book seems most compatible
with an old earth creationist approach. The book describes a "natural" or
"philosophical" species, as a group of biological species that is functionally
similar. More...
