Creationists persistently deny the possibility that our species has had an evolutionary history, in spite of the overwhelming evidence. Dr. Eugenie C. Scott, Executive Director of the National Center for Science Education, will argue that understanding the creationist treatment of human evolution requires an understanding of theological doctrine. This includes the idea that humans and other ""kinds"" be separate creations, hence all the fossils are either ""true humans"" or ""just apes."" How should we address the fact that some fossils show both ""primitive"" and ""advanced"" features, rather than this dichotomos divide? “What do Creationists Believe About Human Evolution” was presented at American Museum of Natural History on 5/17/2007 as part of The Leakey Foundation’s Speaker Series on Human Origins in partnership with the New York Consortium in Evolutionary Anthropology.
