Evolution of human opposable thumb
Date: 05/09/2008
Scientists have discovered a gene enhancer, known as HACNS1, that may have contributed to the evolution of the uniquely opposable human thumb, and possibly also modifications in the ankle or foot that allow humans to walk on two legs, according to a paper published in Science on Sept. 5, 2008.
This study is the first to provide evidence of the existence of human-specific gene enhancers, which are switches near genes in the human genome.

From an article by John Wells
Darwinism provides no explanation for the origin of complex enzymes (such as the one described in the French study) except to invoke “imaginary mutations over unimaginable time scales.” Musgrave counters that the enzyme in the French study “isn’t particularly complex, it’s a simple 201 amino acid long protein.” Of course, it doesn’t take much of a skeptic to doubt that a 201 amino acid enzyme could originate by random mutation and natural ...
