See: http://rosarubicondior.blogspot.se/2014/03/your-ancestors-mated-with-chimpanzees.html .<br /><br />And of course, in species where sex has a social and recreational role, as well as a reproductive one, this tendency to interbreed would likely have been more marked than where sex depends more on hormones and visual or other sensory stimulation and serves a purely procreational function.<br /><br />What you will never get a creationist to acknowledge is that this mode of evolution not only would not produce the 'missing link' they keep demanding science produce but that we should not expect to find any. We would expect the fossil evidence to be exactly what it is - a slightly muddled, fuzzy picture with no strong demarcations and a series showing gradual change over millions of years, just as the DNA evidence is reflecting.<br /><br />Unfortunately creationists seem to be unable to understand the mechanisms of evolution. Instead they argue like this (and now I quote from another part of the same article):<br /><br />1. 'Whatever the Bible says is so; whatever man says may or may not be so,' is the only [position] a Christian can take..."<br />2. If [scientific] conclusions contradict the Word of God, the conclusions are wrong, no matter how many scientific facts may appear to back them.<br />3. Christians must disregard [scientific hypotheses or theories] that contradict the Bible.<br /><br />Source: W.S. Pinkston, J.A. Graham, G. Kuzmic and C.
