Darwin’s predictions about human evolution have been tested by the recovery of evidence showing that the living world was articulated buy evolution. Humans were part of the process. There is a lot more to learn about how that happened. The ultimate cause(s) are currently intractable, but there’s already plenty of evidence to show that evolution did happen and that we humans are among its products. 

There are now tens of thousands of hominid fossils in museums around the world supporting our current knowledge of human evolution. The pattern that emerges from this vast body of hard evidence is consistent across thousands of investigations. All models, all myths involving the singular, instantaneous creation of modern humans fail in the face of this evidence. 

And none of these myths have predicted what we have so far learned from the recovery and analysis of fossil evidence as well as from the biochemical and anatomical similarities and differences that characterize living things. 

Today, evolution is the bedrock of biology, from medicine to molecules, from AIDS to Zebras. A denial of evolution, however motivated, is a denial of evidence, a retreat from reason to ignorance.
