In 1921, a young earth creationist named George McCready Price made a prediction the scientific community called absurd: that Neanderthals were not brutish cavemen but fully human. A century later, DNA evidence proved him right — and if you have any ancestry outside sub-Saharan Africa, you're carrying Neanderthal DNA right now.
In this video, paleontologist Dr. Marcus Ross — PhD from the University of Rhode Island and contributing author to William Lane Craig's Four Views on the Historical Adam — walks through one of the strongest examples in modern science of young earth creationists getting a major prediction right while the mainstream got it wrong for almost a hundred years.
You'll learn:
→ Why a Seventh-Day Adventist scientist looking at a Neanderthal skeleton in a Belgian cave in 1921 saw something every secular paleontologist of his day missed
→ How the modern anthropology community — including Nobel Prize winner Svante Pääbo — has slowly come around to the view that Neanderthals were technologically and cognitively equivalent to us
→ What the genetic evidence shows about human-Neanderthal interbreeding (and why creationists predicted this decades before the DNA confirmed it)
→ Why roughly 25% of the original Neanderthal genome is scattered across humanity today
→ What all of this means for the historical Adam and the biblical account of human origins
