@jerlands,
No, what the evidence shows is that a specific genes REMAIN there, it was TURNED OFF in all of hominid and hominin species at some during evolutions past. YET the gene , now a pseudogene, remains in Hominid and hominin genomes .
Evolution is full of similar and stronger examples , like the genes for a chickens TEETH remain on a chickens genome as a pseudogene, retaining some evidence that a chickens ancestors were reptiles. Also, the dam trapped cichlid fish of the Connecticut River that have evolved into new forms in only 350 yers, retain a number of pseudogenes from their parent types (Species that still exist and can be studied and compared to the evolved forms). What many of you who lean on ID need to explain is what the hell does ID have to do with evolution of the loss of vitamin synthesis or the evolution of fish that had been "reproductively isolated" from their parent species in the same river.
Science cant predict a species future but it can, quite often, use its tools to hammer out a species past, much of which appears to be just adaptive to some environmental change. I submit that this hardly seems to evidence ID. In fact, quite the opposite. It shows that natural selection of a bunch of genotypes in a species, is pretty much matched up to the environmental change that caused it.
The Universe is under no obligation to make sense to us.
