Testing Jeanson's Model: Y Chromosome Mutation Rates

[thoughtful (Valerie (non-scientist))]

He says creationists and evolutionists agree on the human population trends over the past 3000 years.

And the evidence from the Y chromosome is consistent with those trends.

Therefore, humans have existed for only about 6000 years, and not hundreds of thousands of years.

He lost me at the last point. Did you understand what he was saying?

Yes, he’s saying historians agree on population growth throughout known history. That population growth creates a specific curve.

Then he’s saying he used his y-chromosome mutation rate to create a family tree, and then takes all of the males from the family tree to estimate population growth throughout history.

His curve matches the historians’ curve.
