A literal reading of the first chapters of Genesis suggests that animal and plant species can be grouped into kinds, such that species within the same kind have a common ancestry, whereas species from different kinds do not. This is often referred to as baraminology. This talk will review some recent genetics and other research on baraminology, the purpose of which is to identify Biblical kinds. Then, we will zoom into human ancestry and give arguments for why humans are their own kind, with a unique ancestry from a first-created human pair.
