"New Homo and Australopithecus species have been discovered. And this find is forcing evolutionists to, once again, rewrite their ideas about human and ape evolution.
Yes, the evolutionary story is constantly changing (and the model is so plastic, they always figure out a way to accommodate any new evidence no matter how unexpected it is!). This article, based on a study of 13 teeth, claims that “Australopithecus and early and unidentified Homo species coexisted between 2.6 and 2.8 million
Here we have two hominin species that are together. Human evolution is not linear – it’s a bushy tree, there are life forms that go extinct.
But (assuming their interpretation of Homo, or human, and Australopithecus, an ape, is accurate) they didn’t find “two hominin species” together. They found some human teeth in the same area as some ape teeth—that’s the story! It has nothing to do with some “bushy tree,” spreading off in different, dead-end directions. That’s an interpretation of the evidence based on an evolutionary starting point.
In the biblical worldview, we understand God created living creatures according to their kinds: Apes produce more apes. There’s variety within a kind, such as various Australopithecus species (like this new one) within the great ape kind, but one kind will never change into another kind.
This new study tells us nothing more than what we already knew: There is variety within the ape kind, and there’s variety within the human kind." AIG
