Neanderthal DNA Is Really Human DNA? with Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson | Traced: Episode 12

How are Neanderthals related to modern humans? What does Y chromosome research tell us about their ancestry-and ours? Does human DNA inform our understanding of biblical genealogies and the history of Neanderthals?
It’s groundbreaking scientific research that provides revolutionary discoveries about “race,” ethnicity, and even human history. And it’s only possible because the researcher, Harvard-trained Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, starts with the history and the timeline God has given us in his Word.

So love AIG! I remember being in 7 grade and not liking to be told about we come from monkeys, so I was sent to office and they called my mother. After that all I had to do is go to study hall and I got my homework done. I really wish everyone had a mother like her ❤

[@SK-bw2cv]

Creationist scientists have done their own research on chimp DNA and found it is not 98% similar to humans. More like 84% making it impossible for chimps and humans to be common ancestors. So, in all reality you were right. Also look up what else creationists have found regarding chimp DNA. The number (98%) was only calculated after scientists intentionally used DNA that was already similar between the two. So, it was intentional. They wanted that number to exist.

[@SK-bw2cv]

Not only that, but it's impossible for a cell to have a beginning without all the parts in it already functioning. DNA, RNA and proteins all have to exist simultaneously for a cell to function so they can't figure out how it could have evolved. The answer, of course, is simple. It couldn't have. Strike another W up for creationism.

[@SK-bw2cv]

The only thing that can explain that is being created that way originally by an intelligent Designer. Evolution makes no sense at all when you get into the nitty gritty of it.

[@JungleJargon]

Neanderthals are Japhethites and Denisovans are a mix of Japhethites and Hamites, not Semitic. It shows up on DNA maps and charts. Every grandson of Noah and their descendants have their own paternal Y chromosome haplogroup lineage! I can name all sixteen of them as follows… The ancient civilizations are all descended from Noah who had sixteen grandsons that became the sixteen ancient the civilizations each with their own paternal haplogroup lineage. Gomer Europeans R, Madai Medes Q, Javan Greek sea people T, Tiras Thracians L, Tubal Italy K, Meshek Siberians N, Magog Asian O, Aram Aramean F, Asshur Assyrians G, Elam Elamites H, Arphaxad Arabs Hebrews I&J, Lud Lydians F2, Phut early Phoenicians E1, Mitzrayim Egyptians E3, Canaan Canaanites E2, Cush Cushites A B & C. D could have been from Canaan. C is the descendants of Nimrod.

[@redemptous]

Noah must have had a lot more than 16 grandsons these are just the ones that were near the Hebrews and thus known to them. What about the far Eastern nations such as the Cinese, the Indonesians, the Australian aborigines etc Tiras could perhaps be associated with the Tyrrenoi as known to the Greeks but Etrusci to the Romans. Thracian was an exonym given to the Thracians by the Greeks.

[@ricksmith6985]

That they died out probably 30,000 years ago

[@maxpeck1962]

Jeanson's conclusion is that we cannot reliably reconstruct the DNA from such ancient samples, which really should not be a shock to anyone given how fragile the DNA molecule is (only lasts a few years in ideal lab conditions). So it is not meaningful to use Neanderthal reconstructed DNA sequences when doing ancestry research. If you mean what is the conclusion overall (outside this video), it is that Neanderthals were fully human, post-flood and post-Babel, but still thousands of years ago. Nothing particularly interesting about them.

As is. So why keep calling them Neanderthals throughout ur video??? They aren't Neanderthals. They are humans. Back then humans lived for up to but not equal or over..... 1000 years.

[@kurtdejgaard]

Models are so forgiving. Current "secular" population genetics focussed on the Y-chromosome, suggest a timeline that isn't Biblical, but have us descend from 4 males, roughly 50,000 years ago (with "bottle-neck events both before and after). So what does it take to change the 50,000 year timeline to one of 4,500 years? Initially you need "only" to tweak the mutation rate in your model. And as you already can predict what mutation rate you'll need to model a beginning at 4,500 years ago, the hunt is on. Nathaniel Jeanson finally finds his dataset and there's much rejoice at Answers in Genesis. We have used science to disprove science - "our data are as valid as that of the secular sciences". And at face value, that is correct if only temporarily: You have two data points - a mutation rate and a beginning date for diversification and yo draw ("model") a line and yipee! It fits. If only, cause it doesn't end there. You can (and should!) test your model with additional data, this time from archeological DNA samples, to validate your mutation rates and branching of populations into genetic haplotypes. And there, the model fails. "Something must be wrong with the sequence quality, so I left them out" Nathaniel Jeason explains in the video. But no, that's the wrong answer: The correct answer is that the archeological data shows your tweaked model is wrong. It has been falsified by the archaeological DNA sequences. The dots that should lie on the interpolated line of the tweaked model, doesn't fit. The model is wrong. And there's where the science ends for Answers in Genesis: Because Answers in Genesis only pays lip service to a secular scientific process, when it can be coaxed into agreeing with them. Answers in Genesis aren't looking for answers to questions. They already have the answers and those answers must not be questioned! So whenever scientific data does't support their 4,500 timeline since a Great Flood genetic bottle-neck, both data, science and scientific process is dismissed, wholesale! The difference between "real" secular science and the pseudoscience that Answers in Genesis here propagate is this: Science may create models and make predictions, based on data at hand. IF new data to test the model, doesn't fit the model, science learns from that. It is how secular science progresses! Science tries if modifications to the model will accommodate the new data - or whether an entirely new model is needed to explain the expanded dataset. The approach of Nathaniel Jeanson and Answers in Genesis is that if additional data doesn't fit the desired model (the only one allowed) then the data must be dismissed! But that is "faking it" - the very thing Answers in Genesis and Young Earth Creationists (unjustifiably) accuse the secular sciences of propagating. In above video, they openly admit it. And maybe they should just stop, there. And it is, of course, just the tip of the ice berg: Y-chromosome is one thing to study. Another is mitochondrial DNA. It is as useful in the studies of ancestry as is the Y-chromosome: the Y-chromosome cannot recombine and is inherited from father to son, altered only by mutations. Mitochondrial DNA is likewise inherited from our mothers, altered only by mutations. And looking at mitochondrial DNA shows that the genetic "Eve" - the common maternal ancestor - lies >100,000 years back. Further down the ice berg of problems: The genetic diversity of most mammals is substantially higher than that of humans. And this is of course a problem for Young Earth Creationists, as all living animals must descend from forefathers that all arose from the same genetic bottle-neck that Noah's Ark represents and it must have happened 4,500 years ago. So "we don't talk about that" at Answers in Genesis and among Young Earth Creationists. Why? Because, as I stated above - both only pays lip-service to scientific reasoning: They have answers that must not be questioned, rather than questions in search of answers. And that makes their approach not only non-scientific - it makes their approach anti-scientific! They try to fake an imitated scientific approach to use its resulting pseudo-science as a weapon in their war ON science.

'Microevolution' is actually a misnomer. It turns out to be epigenetic-derived adaptations instead.. These were ASSUMED to be examples of evolving DNA mutations. However, they are modifications without mutations in an already-existing epigenome present in all life. Neanderthals were HUMAN with mere different gene expression. No pertinence to evolution. Then speciation is caused by mutations in which is not evolution either. Epigenetic-derived adaptations is a gain of information and the other is caused by loss of information. I have the logistics of 'evolution' down pat. It's all a scam. This all means all of the macroevolution mind-constructs have not happened either including humans coming from hominids.

Jeanson continues to bring up testability as rather gold standard but the evolutionists have not demonstrated any verifiable hypothesis. They can’t create even the simplest form of life in a laboratory. They cannot show any example of a “change in kind.” Jeanson claims that by looking at standard mutational error rates it can be determined how closely related different ethnic groups are and how many generations have occurred. This would have to assume that present rates of Y chromosome mutations have remained consistent since the beginning. This would also mean that the human (and animal genomes) are accumulating more mutations (none positive, many detrimental , some fatal) every generation. Would like for him to comment on what he thinks will be the eventual effect of this. It appears to me that rather that evolving as the evolutionists claim, we are in fact devolving into programmed entropy to degeneration and sterility.

Male dna clocks tick fast, yep, that is correct, radiation will do that quite efficiently. That is why studies use female /mitochondrial dna as the biological clock of human ancestry, because that clock not only sets the metronome, it is also responsible for weeding out most of the dud male dna that would fail to thrive. And the female clock ticking vastly more slowly speaks to a ancient history far far deeper than your young earth hypothesis allows, because the numbers of female generations is a magnitude greater. And interestingly none of your research seems to clarify the Micronesian’s, or the timescales observed in every other discipline except yours. A day is to a year, and a year is to a day. And that was most true in the prehistory of the Bible, you know all the bits that occurred before Mosses wrote them down based on inspiration from God, which told him to document the oral history of events in which most of it had been previously scrubbed by the flood. Hmmm. We have oral fragments from before the flood, carried by just 8 people. All of whom would have been traumatised, and not well versed in the entire history of the world, or even their own family before the flood. Do you know what colour horse your great great grandfather rode. Do you know the profession of his neighbours, have you any idea what his religious convictions were, and how they would relate to the story you are telling. Heck that is all recent history, you should be able to remember all of those details. But chances are like most people you can barely recall your childhood (and if you can it is because you are still only a couple of decades away from it - give it time your childhood will soon become a scene you look at through a glass darkly. Your parents childhoods, hmmm I bet those are pretty vague to you. Noah’s three children and their wives not only apparently carry the gene pool of the entire world, but the entirety of their pre/historical memory. Not surprising the Bible kinda roughs over the prehistory part, and focuses on the main message of God’s creation. But that creation took seven God sized days, not seven present day man sized days. Seven epochs, not seven solar days, nor seven solar years, and certainly not seven earthy revolutions. It takes training to step outside a worldview to examine it dispassionately, to discover all the warts, and even then you will fail to see the warts upon the warts. The creations list worldview is at best 18th century, the Darwinian the same, the evolutionist is at best mid 19th century, and the American creationlist worldview is still floundering on Plymouth rock, with he young earth creationalists running arround like little children shouting, “Look what I found”, not realising the glass beads, are not very good marbles. It is so funny that you deride the evolutionists, while referring to the rapid evolution of language as supporting your case. And while documenting transcription errors in male DNA, which are in themselves evidence of evolution. And neglect meanwhile epigenetic evolution part in the story. Come back when you have more of the pieces, not a few glass beads.

[@throckmortensnivel2850]

Can I point out that the Y-chromosome is much older than humans. Y goes back to about 160 million years ago. The Y chromosome is a part of the sex-determining system of all therian mammals, that is, placental mammals and marsupial mammals. Which tends to suggest a common ancestor for therian mammals. Whatever the rate of mutation in humans, the chromosome itself pre-dates humans by millions of years. It's also worth while to consider why creationists try to shoehorn everything into 6600 years. There is nothing in the bible than mentions how old creation is. Genesis does say everything was created in six days, but it doesn't say how long ago those six days were. The young earth hypothesis is from extrapolation of a number of generations mentioned in the bible. Yet King James Version 2 Peter <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="188">3:8</a> says, "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." In other words, time means nothing to God. It is humans who are trying to force this "age of the earth" on God, not the other way 'round.

I didn’t hear anything about Neanderthals in this video, but I’m certain they were pre-flood and are the people that lived hundreds of years. I see 90 year olds who are halfway to Neanderthal today. I can imagine what we would look like at 600 years old.

This really is stunning research. My only complaint is that the archeologic Geographical data appears to have been neglected. In this since. I would trust the bones in the ground more in these locations more than the souls that are living in these locations. And as Mr. Nathaniel has taught us the Displacement of peoples. Keys us in to the people groups that are currently on said continent did not originate there. So how the claim that these people are a particular ethnic group when in fact they may not be the one they are represented as today. Then they should be represented by the bones found in the ground elsewhere and not by the people group they're currently living amongst.

[@whatshaploing8256]

There are only 9 generations between Noah and Adam, and they had presumably better DNA and a better earth/ecosystem that protected them from genetic variation after each descendant. If Neanderthals are pre or post Flood, they shouldn't have much variation between them and Noah/Noah's offspring, right? * * * I presume they are groups of people who left before Babel or even after, but were more isolated in their genetic variation and got more isolated due to the Ice Age after the Flood and had to live in the caves. I would imagine that pre-Babel, groups/clans still split off and went their own way in search of land or to scout out resources for the larger group back at Babel and eventually got genetically locked into a non-diverse genetic group. Clearly after the Flood, the people and animals still had vary adaptive genetic coding that could bring about fast, rapid changes and within a few generations most of that great genetic coding was gone. People quickly stopped living to be hundreds of years old. The original animal common ancestors brought on the ark which carried the data to be able to let their offspring diversify was rather quickly slowed in the new world they lived in. At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="480">8:00</a> , Dr Jeanson talks about how science/geologists make the assumption about the rate of erosion of the Grand Canyon. There is plenty of evidence to show that the Ice Age across North America, which saw miles - MILES! high ice across much of it suddenly melted very very fast. At one point out west, the flow off the glacier was so much that more water was flowing off of the glacier than all the world's rivers and streams combined per second. It carved out so much of the lands out west that 'whenever' that event occurred, it likely skews the ability of scientists nowadays to say with any certainty how long certain features took to erode into what we see today. * * * ETA - I mean protected them from coding errors vs. their original genetic programming that allowed such a wide range of genetic difference between generations.

[@whyaskwhybuddry]

@WhatsHaplo'ing, not necessarily. Neanderthal, being Post Flood survivors, lived in European Caves clicking with Radioactive material which would mutate their DNA. Add to this "The Founder Effect" and high inbreeding and you get many differences between Noah's other children and Neanderthal in Europe. Today, people who've undergone Cancer Treatment have a lot of DNA mutations than their siblings.

It just means that the 8 people on the ark carried genes for various amounts of melanin - look up the science of skin color, hair type, and eye type. Later on if light people only married light people in certain areas and dark people only married dark people, eventually larger populations in separate areas would appear more and more different. People in the U.S. and beginning to intermarry more, so eventually Americans as a population will be generally light brown with less obvious differences between groups.

I do believe you hit the nail on the head. The problem for his narrative is that doesn’t fit any possibility of a flood covering all of the mountains of the earth. Especially as in the recorded history since that bottle neck there appears no mention of mountain ranges thrusting from near sea level to 7 or 8km into the sky. Surely someone would have noticed the decades/centuries of extreme earthquake activity which would have accompanied such a violent event. But no, none of the ancient texts do. The closest we have to this are the myths of Atlantis which describes the exact opposite event, in the middle of a great ocean (which might be a fragment of a flood narrative, but doesn’t explain the presence of present day mountains).

Just a couple of questions... What caused the No. American Indian population to seemingly flat-line before 1492 (natural disaster maybe)? What permitted global population expansion 🏒 (small pox vaccine, or lack of catastrophic natural disasters, maybe)?

[@maxpeck1962]

The flat line before 1492 is not the actual population, but the population inferred from genetic data from living survivors. The actual population was large before 1492 and suffered a massive die-off in the couple hundred years after 1492. This is from mainstream archaeologists btw. If you're asking why the die-off, probably some combination of disease introduced by the Europeans and warfare (with the Europeans as well as internally). I'm not aware of any evidence for a natural disaster as cause for the post-1492 population decline in the Americas.

Is there a graph of population in Europe when the Black Death plagues hit ? Shouldn't it be somewhat similar to what the Indian graph looked like when they got illnesses they could not fight off? Would the European population have flatlined at certain points in history like late 13 hundreds when whole villages were dying and maybe 50 % in the cities were dying. Was wondering if that had been graphed. I honestly don't completely understand the whole thing - how you can take present DNA and figure out so much from just that. Another thing I'm wondering about is the gene that everyone gets from their mother which is in the mitochondria - Why hasn't this maternal gene been studied and traced? Could they tell where populations had migrated from and tell if there was any dye off of population shown by a flatline? Eventually wouldn't that gene lead to Noah's wife and before her, Eve? This needs to be studied so it can be compared with the male's Y chromosome studies and to see if they agree and how they agree.

Neanderthals are nephilm, NOT HUMANS! Read Genesis 6 and learn the truth, in the OT the phrase "sons of God" refers to heavenly creatures (Job <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="66">1:6</a>; <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="121">2:1</a>; <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2287">38:7</a>) and that the NT refers to fallen angels (2 Pet. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="124">2:4</a>; Jude 6). These fallen angels went with the daughters of Cain and had children by them and that was the sin that prompted God's anger in this passage for it was a violation of Gen. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="144">2:24</a>. brought about by sexual relations between human and angelic beings, resulting in the creation of the Nephilim, God was greatly angered and sorrowful that He made man because they went deep into sin never like before. it wasn't human nor godly men that went with the women, if it were then God wouldn't have flooded the entire world. also this true biblical teaching doesn't contradict Christ's teaching that the angels don't marry nor have sex (Matthew <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1350">22:30</a>). the angels in Genesis 6 weren't Holy angels, they fell and went into sin, they became fallen angels, they went with human woman and had nephilm children with them. that's why the bible calls them giants, they weren't like human sized tall, they were more taller because they were supernatural evil beings and that's why God flooded the earth and saved only Noah and his family because they weren't doing what the others were doing, they were obeying God but the others weren't. So When God chose to destroy all mankind and other things (Except for Noah and his family, and the animals that were in the ark) in the Flood, He was totally justified in doing so: “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Genesis <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="365">6:5</a>). but before He did that, He gave them many MANY years to repent and get right with Him and He would have been more than glad to forgive them and make them be His people, but they chose to reject God and give into sin and follow the devil sadly. when you reread Genesis 6 you see many of the women were sleeping with Fallen angels and they had children with them thus making nephilm, those same children weren't fully human and many of the people started mixing their DNA with nephelim and fallen angels, they started to worship the nephilm, and their minds started to go haywire and commit every sin every abominable thing they could do. only Noah and his family didn't do evil like they did, Noah and his family obeyed God and followed Him, and because he and his family did that, they lived and God blessed them. we are here because of that and Because of God.
