The Bushes of Life Model and Human Ancestry in the Light of Genetics Data

A literal reading of the first chapters of Genesis suggests that animal and plant species can be grouped into kinds, such that species within the same kind have a common ancestry, whereas species from different kinds do not. This is often referred to as baraminology. This talk reviews some recent genetics and other research on baraminology, the purpose of which is to identify Biblical kinds. Then, we zoom into human ancestry and give arguments for why humans are their own kind, with a unique ancestry from a first-created human pair.
