>Aunty consulted a genuine population geneticist (who asked to remain unnamed) about this question. Here is the response:
>The only way to get the amount of genetic divergence we see today in a mere 4,500 years (since Noah’s sons are said to have been producing their children), one would need to postulate that mutation rates are about 50 times higher than currently observed. Since we have been able to sequence DNA from ancient human bones that are at least that old, we know mutation rates are not that high. So it is impossible, unless we postulate that God personally changed the DNA of all humans on earth to produce the lineages we can see today.
