Humans DID evolve via evolution as science currently teaches

Thanks for accepting/recreating the debate Con, it should be fun.I affirm that humans did evolve by way of natural selection from a common ape ancestor.Here's why:1. GENETICS - Human's 2nd chromosome is a fusion of two ape chromosomes.http://genome.cshlp.org...2. FOSSILS - Radiometrically dated fossils of apes and humans are homologous structures; they are similar, because humans evolved from a common ape ancestor.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...My burden:Normally, evolution debates require me to show that evolution as a whole is correctly taught by science however, in this particular debate, I only have to show that the way that science currently teaches the evolution of humans in particular is a reality.So...1. Genetics - Human's 2nd chromosome.Humans have 46 chromosomes, while the other great apes have 48 chromosomes.Chromosomes, made of two identical chromatids, carry our genes, and give us all of our genetic, molecular, cellular, and skeletal structures. A typical chromatid, one identical part of the chromosome, has two ends and a center. The two ends are Telomeres (T).The center is a Centromere (C).T-C-T However, the chromatids on human's 2nd chromosome each have four ends and two centers.T-C-T-T-C-T This shows fusion.Since the telomeres are fused in the middle, we call this a telomere-telomere, or end to end fusion.http://genome.cshlp.org...How do we know what fused?Base pairs on the ends of each chromosome are unique to that chromosome; if you find these unique base pairs, you then know which chromosome you have, similar to how a fingerprint identifies a human.We found the base pairs that match ancestral ape chromosomes on our 2nd chromosome.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...So, when you look at our 2nd chromosome, you see that our genetics have uniquely identifying remnants from our ape ancestors; we're genetically made from two fused ape chromosomes.2. Fossils - Radiometrically-dated, homologous (similar structure) ape and human fossils.Let me first explain how radiometric dating works:Think back to chemistry...there are protons that make an atom a particular atom...hydrogen (1 proton), carbon (6 protons), nitrogen (7 protons), etc. To have a stable nucleus in the atom, the protons and the neutrons need to match in number.When there are more neutrons than protons, the atom is called an unstable isotope.These unstable isotopes decay at fixed atomic half lives into different elements/isotopes.Potassium 40's half-life is 1.25 billion years, which means that in that time, half of the potassium 40 in a geological sample will become argon 40, which is a new isotope.http://www.orau.org...Since the fixed rate of decay NEVER changes, we can measure how much time has passed given the amounts of argon 40 in a geological sample. From the amounts of argon 40, we can count the half-life of potassium 40 back to the original amounts of potassium 40 in the geological sample; this gives us a date of the geological sample.The reason I discuss this, is that we've found ape and human fossils in geological samples that have been dated using potassium argon dating; the dating method is extremely accurate.So, what do these dated fossils show?According to a PNAS published study, "using the hominin fossil evidence...we show that the most parsimonious model for the evolution of hominin shoulder shape starts with an African ape-like ancestral state."http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...Yeah, the shoulders of a common ape ancestor fossil show how, through evolution, a human-like configuration in the genus "homo" lost its tree-dwelling attributes while maintaining a similar structure to those of the other great apes.The dates of the compared fossils match the time evolution has predicted, and has allowed us to determine when these evolutionary changes likely took place.The fossil and radiometric evidence indicate humans evolved from a common ape ancestor, and our shoulders are excellent examples of such.Even without the shoulder homology, other bone structures between apes and humans, like skulls, teeth, hands, and legs show great homology; humans are the bones in the green outlined boxes. http://www.pnas.org...I affirm the resolution, which I think is quite specific; I only need to show human's evolution to affirm, but if questions about other organisms' evolution arise, I shall not dodge them.On to Con.
