Follow Where the Evidence Leads: Human/Ape "Ancestry"
Human/ape common ancestry has been a subject much discussed recently.  A  friend wrote me asking for links dealing with human/ape common  ancestry. While there are numerous good articles that have talked about  this issue from an intelligent design (ID) friendly perspective, I tried  to provide him with some helpful links and information.
As a preliminary point, it's important to note that human/ape common  ancestry is compatible with ID.  Nonetheless, ID proponents are  interested in taking a scientific approach to these questions, and the  evidence suggests that even modest changes requiring two or more  mutations before conferring any adaptive benefit could not arise via  Darwinian evolution under any reasonable timescale involving human/ape  common ancestry.  As a result, questions about human/ape common  ancestry should be on the table for people who really want to follow the  evidence where it leads.
