  author={Dennis R. Venema},

}
The relatively new and rapidly expanding field of comparative genomics provides a wealth of data useful for testing the hypothesis that humans and other forms of life share common ancestry. Numerous independent lines of genomics evidence strongly support the hypothesis that our species shares a common ancestor with other primates. Additional lines of evidence also indicate that our species has maintained a population size of at least several thousand individuals since our speciation from the…

Adam and Eve, Designed Diversity, and Allele Frequencies
TLDR
Numerical simulation is used to show that two people, if they contain designed alleles, can in fact give rise to allele frequency distributions of the very same type as are now seen in modern man.

An Evaluation of Homo naledi and “Early” Homo from a Young-Age Creationist Perspective
TLDR
Results continue to support inclusion of “early” Homo in the human holobaramin, and the newly discovered Homo naledi can also be placed with confidence in theHuman baraminology is re-examined.
Homo Sapiens as Homo Dei: Paleoanthropology, Human Uniqueness, and the Image of God
The biology of Homo sapiens is continuous with other hominids and the rest of life. Yet in Homo sapiens we find emergent capabilities that constitute a unique being. It is this being to whom God…
Recent Genetic Science and Christian Theology on Human Origins: An "Aesthetic Supralapsarianism"
Recent genomic science strongly supports the theory of common ancestry. To classical Protestants, particularly, this theory seems incompatible with Scripture, most especially with the “historical…

A re-analysis of the hominin holobaramin was undertaken using 78 postcranial characters published by Berger, et al. (2010) and 25 characters of the hand published by Kivell, etal.

Recent common ancestry of human Y chromosomes: evidence from DNA sequence data.
TLDR
It is estimated that the spread of Y chromosomes out of Africa is much more recent than previously was thought, and the data indicate substantial population growth in the effective number of human Y chromosomes.
Genomic divergences between humans and other hominoids and the effective population size of the common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees.
TLDR
The human lineage apparently had experienced a large reduction in effective population size after its separation from the chimpanzee lineage, suggesting that the gorilla lineage branched off 1.6 to 2.2 million years earlier than did the human-chimpanzee divergence.
Mitochondrial genome variation and the origin of modern humans
TLDR
The global mtDNA diversity in humans is described based on analyses of the complete mtDNA sequence of 53 humans of diverse origins, providing a concurrent view on human evolution with respect to the age of modern humans.
Evolution of genes and genomes on the Drosophila phylogeny
TLDR
These genome sequences augment the formidable genetic tools that have made Drosophila melanogaster a pre-eminent model for animal genetics, and will further catalyse fundamental research on mechanisms of development, cell biology, genetics, disease, neurobiology, behaviour, physiology and evolution.
Genomic Relationships and Speciation Times of Human, Chimpanzee, and Gorilla Inferred from a Coalescent Hidden Markov Model
TLDR
A hidden Markov model that incorporates genealogical variation and relates the model parameters to population genetics quantities such as speciation times and ancestral population sizes finds that the rate of transitions between different genealogies correlates well with the region-wide present-day human recombination rate, but does not correlate with the fine-scale recombination rates and recombination hot spots.

TLDR
The present and two previous large data sets all show a strong excess of low frequency variants in comparison to that expected from an equilibrium population, indicating a relatively recent population expansion.
Polytene Chromosomal Maps of 11 Drosophila Species: The Order of Genomic Scaffolds Inferred From Genetic and Physical Maps
The sequencing of the 12 genomes of members of the genus Drosophila was taken as an opportunity to reevaluate the genetic and physical maps for 11 of the species, in part to aid in the mapping of…
Recent human effective population size estimated from linkage disequilibrium.
TLDR
The first genome-wide estimates of human effective population size from LD data are presented and it is shown that the decay in LD over distance between SNPs is consistent with recent population growth.
Comparative high-resolution mapping of human and primate chromosomes by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
TLDR
Using a series of DNA probes, chromosomal rearrangements in the karyotypes of primates were readily detected at the molecular cytogenetic level and should contribute considerably to the understanding of primate phylogeny and evolution.
Low nucleotide diversity in man.
TLDR
The nucleotide diversity in humans is very low, probably due to a relatively small long-term effective population size rather than any severe bottleneck during human evolution.
