What evidence is there that white people are related to black people?

Question

We've never seen a black person born from a white person (or vice versa), have we?

So you smart Creationists out there, please tell me, why admit whites and blacks are related when you don't have to?

Whatever evidence you can point to, is the same evidence to prove we are related to apes. Unless the only better argument is "well, blacks and whites are both capable of talking and acting like humans", but that's only proof of a "common designer" not a "common ancestor", right?

Answer 1

“Not So Special After All”

“We have been humbled as never before,” states New Scientist. “While we congratulate ourselves on the momentous achievement of sequencing the human genome, the genome itself is telling us we are not so special after all. It turns out we have only five times as many genes as a bacterium, a third more than a worm and about twice as many as a fly.” Additionally, “around 40 per cent of our genes are similar to those in nematode worms, 60 per cent are similar to those in fruit flies and 90 per cent are similar to those in mice.

” Knowledge of the human genome also alters our view of race, says the magazine. Two individuals may look alike and be of the same race, yet genetically they may be far more different than two individuals from ethnic groups that differ greatly from each other. Says Luigi Cavalli-Sforza of Stanford University: “The differences between people of the same races are so large that it’s ridiculous to think of races as different—or as even existing.”

I hope this helps.
