When it comes to evolution, humans are in the slow class

Article Abstract:

Population geneticist Wen-Hsiung Li presented convincing evidence that supports molecular evolutionist Morris Goodman's 34-year-old theory that human DNA changes less each year than that of other primates and mammals. If accurate, the finding invalidates the universal 'molecular clock.'
