Let's go to this next section in the paper.

They write, quote,

Genetic evidence and biological evidence points to a population-oriented emergence of our species.

With modern genetics in hand, one no longer needs to rely on mere comparison of the

morphology of organisms to establish their descendants. Considerable biological evidence,

rendering monogenism untenable, has already been presented by Ayala and his collaborators."

Francisco Ayala is who they're talking about there.

And so, Josh, they think it's a closed case.

Yeah, so this is an example where, I don't know.

I mean, this is just very sloppy because we both Bill and I directly address this issue of large population sizes.

We show in both of our books very clearly that they're making a logical categorical error.

It's a category error by thinking that because the population was large in the past,

that we can't all descend from Adam and Eve.

It's just hard to read that and take it seriously.

Moreover, there's major limitations on those claims that we've detailed.

And I think the reference to Ayala is a really clear tell.
