I know I said I wouldn't do it, but I did it. I read one of Glenn's posts.
I am even going to respond to it. May God help me.
Glenn cites the following quote as proof that the ZFY location monomorphism
is not valid in estimating the age of the human or chimp common ancestor:
> "These results are not inconsistent with a recent sequencing survey of
>the third intron of the Zfy gene that revealed complete monomorphism. when
>the HKA test is applied (in comparisons with both mtDNA and [beta]-globin),
>the null hypothesis is not rejected. However, the unusually low level of
>divergence between human and chimpanzee Zfy introns (a nearly threefold lower
>D value compared with the YAP locus) makes this region uninformative for
>inferring human population history."~Michael F. Hammer, "A Recent Common
>Ancestry for Human Y Chromosomes," Nature, 378, Nov. 23, 1995, p. 377.
What Hammer is saying here is that ZFY introns are invalid for inferring
human population history BECAUSE THEY DON'T AGREE WITH THE CONVENTIONAL
EVOLUTIONARY HYPOTHESIS. THIS IS CIRCULAR REASONING.
