Created in the Image: A Forensic Reassessment of Paleoanthropology and Human Origins

In Created in the Image, Dr. Alfred Basta challenges the prevailing evolutionary narrative by reexamining fossil discoveries, genetics, anthropology, and archaeology through the framework of Scripture. Combining decades of academic research with scientific analysis, he presents a comprehensive young-earth creationist perspective that argues for the historical reality of Adam and Eve, the global Flood, and the unity of all humanity.

This thought-provoking work explores:

• The biblical foundation of human origins and the doctrine of the Image of God.
• Lucy, Homo habilis, Neanderthals, Denisovans, Homo erectus, and other fossil discoveries.
• Famous paleoanthropological controversies, frauds, and misinterpretations.
• Mitochondrial Eve, Y-chromosomal Adam, and genetic evidence.
• The myths surrounding the “98% chimpanzee DNA” claim.
• Human uniqueness, language, morality, intelligence, and consciousness.
• The Tower of Babel, ethnic diversity, and the biblical explanation for the unity of mankind.

Written for readers interested in apologetics, biblical studies, anthropology, genetics, and the origins debate, Created in the Image provides a detailed examination of scientific claims while defending the historicity of Genesis and the biblical account of creation.

Whether you are a student, pastor, researcher, or anyone seeking to understand one of history’s most important questions—Where did humanity come from?—this book offers a comprehensive and compelling biblical perspective.
