I completely doubt the validity of any of their research. But if it is true that humans have had less microevolution than chimps, I think it shows that, since humans were created in God's own image, it takes fewer changes to get it "right". I think, physically, we have always been alright. --[[User:David R|<<-David R->>]] 11:25, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

I do not doubt that research at all, in fact it seems obvious that hmans would have evolved less as we have developed civilisation and change the environment in which we live in as opposed to evolving ourselves to fit with the environment. Chimps on the other hand need to evolve with the changing environment. in reference to the question though, i believe that the idea of creation by God is ludicrous. [[User:Marowit|Marowit]]
::Auld Nick is right of course, nothing is "more evolved" than anything else by the standards of the question. Certain species are more suited to survive and reproduce within their environmental niche. That's all. Anything that is ill-suited to survive in its niche is likely to become extinct - it isn't "less evolved". The "most evolved" species is whichever one has undergone the most genetic mutations since it diverged from the first concestor. That could just as easily be a fly or a germ as an ape or homo sapiens.
