The time scale of the bottleneck?

I find it is Evolutionists, perhaps the less knowledgeable ones, who continue to say how the high similarity “proves” that we had a common ancestor. But can anyone clearly state a falsification criteria for that hypothesis?

I don’t remember anyone around here saying that. It is usually something more along the lines of this.

While % genomic similarity is important, it isn’t the only observation from which one would infer common ancestry from comparative genomics. If two species have common ancestry, we should see that the pattern of genetic differences between them resulted from mutations. This is exactly what we see with the chimp and human genomes.

Things like the ERV’s in identical locations in human and chimp genomes, broken vitamin C gene, etc. etc.
