What I said is that we have
no evidence of that common ancestor, only conjecture that it might explain the data we do have (along with other explanations).
Not exact matches

of evidence for evolution (althought we didn't come «from apes,» but from a
common ancestor with apes) and literally no
evidence that we were created as is by a deity.
It could have been that chimpanzees and human genomes showed no
evidence of having a
common ancestor.
The same
evidence was found in another family

common ancestor of yeast, plants, and vertebrates lived about 1.2 billion years ago.
Here's the majors, so plan accordingly for your place in this life or the next: 1) there is not a single fossil to
evidence mankind's evolution from some so - called earlier form (see missing link) however we do however have mountains
of DNA
evidence showing we have
common ancestors with primates — so you either believe in a Creator, or Aliens, or actual evolution or a mix
of any
of the three.
Because the
evidence clearly shows that all life that we are aware
of had a
common ancestor.
I do believe that all humans, along with all living things, share a
common ancestor - there is a great deal
of biological
evidence to support this claim.
A third piece
of evidence relates to the last
common ancestor of the two known leprosy bacteria, which completed reductive evolution around 10 million years ago, resulting in a lean genome and the loss
of free - living ability.
The study also confirms that the «H1» hemagluttinin protein
of the new virus derives from the classical swine H1N1 strain, which shares a close
common ancestor with the human H1N1 strain circulating before 1957 and several lines
of evidence show that older people exposed to that virus may have some immunity to the new H1N1.
This
evidence indicates that LB1 is not a modern human with an undiagnosed pathology or growth defect; rather, it represents a species descended from a hominin
ancestor that branched off before the origin
of the clade that includes modern humans, Neandertals, and their last
common ancestor.
Ardipithecus ramidus at 4.4 million years ago provides the first substantial body
of fossil
evidence that temporally and anatomically extends our knowledge
of what the last
common ancestor we shared with chimpanzees was like, and therefore allows a test
of such presumptions.
With DNA
evidence as solid as that used to convict criminals, researchers can trace the shared genetic lineage
of life's different branches back to the very base
of the tree, some 4 billion years ago, when the interaction between primordial bacteria and viruses culminated in the «mother cell,» the
common ancestor of all life on Earth.
The
evidence, thus far, points to an origin
of REM and slow - wave sleep at least as far back as the
common ancestor of reptiles, birds and mammals, which lived about 320 million years ago,» explains Laurent.
According to the paper, C. abyssinicus revealed answers about gorilla lineage but also provided fossil
evidence that our
common ancestor migrated from Africa, not Eurasia, where fossils were more prolific prior to this discovery
of multiple skeletons.
A new study examining the muscular system
of bonobos provides firsthand
evidence that the rare great ape species may be more closely linked to human
ancestors than
common chimpanzees.
A new study examining the muscular system
of bonobos provides firsthand
evidence that the rare great ape species may be more closely linked, anatomically, to human
ancestors than
common chimpanzees.
Based on their research from the Chorora, Kadabba and Ardi finds, the team says the
common ancestor of chimps and humans lived earlier than had been
evidenced by genetic and molecular studies, which placed the split about 5 million years ago.
Tracing back through time and examining
common ancestors of migratory and non-migratory species, they were able to conclude that there was more
evidence supporting the idea that birds lived year - round in North America and began migrating further and further south, resulting in today's birds migrating thousands
of miles every year.
DNA studies
of creatures living today suggest that their
common ancestor appeared nearly 800 million years ago, yet the fossil record contains no clear
evidence of animals more than 555 million years old.
However, an extinct group
of non-ancestral humans seems better
evidence for evolution than against it; how did such a group
of people appear if they and humans did not both evolve from a
common ancestor?
He describes the
ancestor around 6 million years ago who was
common to chimpanzees and humans, siting the three major sources
of compelling scientific
evidence for that
common ancestors: DNA (which shows humans more closely related to chimps than gorillas are); DNA gene analysis; and morphological
evidence from fossils.
Hox genes were found to be interchangeable in various species, giving
evidence of the points at which their
common ancestor diverged.
