How can a "thumbs up" sign help us remember five processes that impact evolution? The story of the Five Fingers of Evolution gives us a clever way of understanding change in gene pools over time.

1) We are related to every other animal, however distant they may be, but since you seem to be speaking about similar species and so does the article, Neanderthals and Denosivians also had 23 chromosomes.
2) The fusion of Chromosome 2 is a neutral mutation, so it's not a significant mutation, so it is possible it can become the genetic norm in a population.
3) About 70,000 years ago, human population hit about 1,000 so it is highly likely it became the genetic norm.

Yes, I am, a slave to Christ. Remember you are always a slave to something, if you are not a slave of righteousness you are a slave of sin. That is why Jesus died on the cross, to set man free from sin.

2. We are not related to any other animal, me and you however are related and have two common ancestors, Adam and Eve.
3. I am currently reading 'Chromosome 2 (human)' on wikipedia.

1. I did not mention the different types of extensions, there are two kinds of human "tails", the fatty excessive flesh and the spinal deformity.

If Jesus was the only truth we followed, you'd be a slave.

But you just said it was just excess skin and boneless. Now you're contradicting yourself.
It is not a "loss of information," evolution simply explains why there is a variety of species, and he grew a tail because we still carry the gene for making tails, it is just inactive in most of us. We are in fact related to all primates found in Africa because of evolution. Look up Chromosome 2 in humans, and if you can refute that it is evidence of evolution, please do.

No one is born with a full-tail. Its actually not a tail, its the development of the spine. I am not trying to look smarter, just bringing truth, and truth is not an abstract concept, truth is a person, truth is Jesus Christ.

Also wisdom is not determined by age my friend, evolution is not science, it is an occult dogma that has been around since the Ancient Egyptian mystery schools. If you looked at my channel the first topic that is mentioned is in my art is 'SCIENCE'.
