Homo sapiens dropping down to zero?!

@swamidass

I don’t see how you can say this one sentence. This is the one sentence I never expected to see you write. I object based on the fact your preceding sentence includes:

“… and they alone gave rise to all other humans.”

You aren’t playing word games here, are you? Because if you still have Pre-Adamite humans in the necessary scenario, you can’t play fast and lose with word meanings at the same time.

If I understand your phrase correctly, this is NOT the scenario that won me over, Joshua. That traditional scenario is dead in the water as far as I’m concerned. And until you can explain how we can have evidence for such a thing within 6000 to 10,000 years, I can’t come along for the trip.

I warned you of just this problem. And you said that it would never be a problem because we would always understand the context of your discussion.

And here we are … at logger heads … and you even include the 10,000 year time frame!

Where have you gone, Joshua?
