from a evolutionist or a creationist point of view?

As a believer in science, I think it's interesting and seems valid.

i apologize for my bluntness, but this is total bullshit.
i have the shrewd feeling that this is another creationist ply to come along all scientific and serious. well... it is not. cant be.
two of any species just isnt enough to build a stable population. there isnt enough genetic reserve to crease even slight mistakes in the genetic make up, and not enough genetic depth to adapt to the many different habitats humanity has conquered in so little time.
computer simulations working backwards from a rough estimate of todays genetic variety suggest that a minimal population of around 7,000 individuals was necessary to produce modern humanity. maybe more... maybe even much more, but no less.
so, no matter if those alleged two were created, chosen or just lucky survivors, it doesnt add up.
this thesis is not science, not even bad science... i let you decide what it is.

J.P. is correct.
The project has uncovered evidence that "suggests" that all living humans are descended from a single male ancestor who inhabited northern Africa about 60,000 years ago. It is likely that this prehistoric "Adam" had multiple mates.

Is this the one that says the woman gave the species the ability to speak? Sounds like Adam and Eve to me.

Note it says two people and not two apes! Evolution is a huge scam that feeds it's false prophets with the young blood of it's brain washed, ape possessed followers.

I don't think it matters what I think from either of the points of view you suggest.
If those are the facts then what difference does it make what anyone thinks?

I agree with JP, you are SERIOUSLY misrepresenting what geneticists have discovered, regardless how you interpreted the article. There were 1,000's of human species from which we evolved.

it can support both a little, of course Creation, but no sane educated person doubts Creation. At least not one that believes in logic. But as for disproving evolution, it can still support it as well. We might look different, but does that mean God didnt Create us?

This is a dramatic oversimplification of the National Geographic article to which you are refering. I call bullcrap on you.
