The Evolution of Man: What Do We Really Know? Testing the Theories of Gradualism, Saltationism and Intelligent Design
1 Back to Internet Library Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig 18/19 July and 21 August 2019 (9 and 19 September 2019: For a short supplement on the article by Haile-Selassie et al. published in Nature 28 August 2019, see pp. 65-70) The Evolution of Man: What do We Really Know? Testing the Theories of Gradualism, Saltationism and Intelligent Design First Some Intriguing Comments by Distinguished Evolutionary Biologists: “Even with all the fossil evidence and analytical techniques from the past 50 years, a convincing hypothesis for the origin of Homo remains elusive.” Bernard Wood (2014 in Nature 508:31) Professor of Human Origins, The George Washington University “There is certainly no evidence to support the notion that we gradually became what we inherently are over an extended period, in either the physical or the intellectual sense.” Ian Tattersall (2012 in Masters of the Planet :207) Professor and Head of the anthropological department of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City from 1971 to 2010 (now curator emeritus) “[W]e should not expect to find a series of intermediate fossil forms with decreasingly divergent big toes and, at the same time, a decreasing number of apelike features and an increasing number of modern human features."

Vestigial Organs
Vestigial Organs Over many years of presenting evidence for creation and against evolution the subject of vestigial organs commonly comes up. These are organs or structures that appear not to have any function and are claimed by evolutionists to be leftover remnants from an evolutionary ancestor. Because they appear to be useless they are not only presented as evidence for evolution, but as evidence against creation, because no intelligent creator would make useless organs. The idea that humans and animals carry around a lot of remnants of organs we don’t need, but had a function in evolutionary ancestors, goes back to Charles Darwin, who called them “rudiments” and “rudimentary organs”. In fact, the word “vestigial” is now defined in terms of evolution. The Compact Oxford English Dictionary defines the word vestigial as: “(of an organ or part of the body) degenerate, rudimentary, or atrophied, having lost its function in the course of evolution.” This article looks at some of the common examples brought up at Creation Research meetings or written up in the mainstream pro-evolution literature. Human Vestiges and Rudiments In 1893, a German anatomist named Robert Wiedersheim drew up a list of 86 human organs he considered to be "vestiges", i.e. organs that are "wholly or in part functionless" and have "lost their original physiological significance". (Wiedersheim, R. 1893 The Structure of Man: An Index to His Past History, Second Edition. Translated by H. and M. Bernard. London: Macmillan and Co. 1895) The organs listed by Wiedersheim have since been found to have functions, some essential to life, e.g. -

The unit of study is the unfolding organism, and the timeline upon which embryology is focused is brief compared to the life cycle of the organism. Developmental biology is the science of studying development, which includes all of the processes that are required go from a single celled embryo to an adult. While embryos undergo development, so to do later stages of organisms. -

Historical Background of Umbilical Stem Cell Culture
Borys-Wójcik et al. Medical Journal of Cell Biology 2019 DOI: 10.2478/acb-2019-0002 Received: 06.03.2019 Accepted: 26.03.2019 Historical background of umbilical stem cell culture Sylwia Borys-Wójcik1 2 3, Sandra Knap3, Wojciech 4 5 1, Bartosz Kempisty1,3,6 , Małgorzata Józkowiak , Katarzyna Stefańska Pieńkowski , Paweł Gutaj , Małgorzata Bruska Abstract Umbilical cord is a waste material, and therefore does not raise ethical concerns related to its use for rese- arch and medicine. Stem cells from umbilical cord have a significant advantage over cells from other sour- ces. First, the umbilical cord is an infinite source of stem cells, because it can be taken theoretically during each delivery. Secondly, acquisition of umbilical cord is a non-invasive, safe procedure for mother and child. Thirdly, the transplantation of umbilical cord stem cells is associated with a lower risk of infection and a less-frequent “graft versus host” reaction. In this work, the authors present a historical background of rese- arch on the cell from its discovery to modern times characterized by highly advanced methods of obtaining stem cells from umbilical cord and from other sources.

Received: 24 October 2018 Published: 18 December 2018 Keywords: Appendicitis; Tonsillitis; Vestigial Organs; Rudimentary Organs Abstract Vestigial organs are the troubled side of human life because occasionally we are affected some ailments like appendicitis and tonsillitis which may fatal for our life. Conversely, these diseases were very common in our ancestor. In fact, the word ‘Evolution’ is the most live word and controversially a rational matter to pick-up the evidences on vestigial organs of human body. Applying the theory of Lamarck and Darwin, the medical science department may run speedy for human welfare. In this regard, we may study on found evidences on human fossils. Inevitably, we should focus great emphasis on human evolution in MBBS syllabus. In addition, we should find some similar species which are occasionally affected by these diseases. In test-tube baby, it is possible to cut-down those genes of vestigial organs which are the main target of this article. Being thankful on health, we should believe how wonderful will be afterward by knowing human evolution and the structure and functions of such vestigial organs. -
