Dr Nathaniel Jeanson and Dr Jeffry Tomkins have produced a work on the heterogeneity of the human mtDNA and in other groups of organisms that argues for a separate and recent formation of those groups.They note that both evolutionists and creationists accept a biological single "Eve". Also, "both origins views also hold to copying errors (mutations) as the sole source of DNA variety." But when did mankind begin? They state "To use the mtDNA as a clock we simply use this measured mutation rate to make testable predictions based on either the evolutionary timescale or on the YEC timescale and then compare the predictions with the scientific, observed facts..." He uses an assumed age of 180,000 years for sake of discussion (insert: evolutionary appearance of man) and 4,500 years (insert: creation of man). The measured mutation rate is 60 per generation. Figure 2 shows the evolutionary estimate to be about 2000 differences for the assumed time, and in the Creation scenario about 30-120 and the actual observed to be 78 within human mtDNA. Thus, the creation/young age is more realistic to the observed data. They talk about many other issues.
