The Ādam Paradox Hypothesis 142
This synthesis transforms the debate. APH does not simply describe what
happened; it predicts it. It accounts for the archaeological threshold at ~70 ka,
the subsequent demographic explosion, and the cumulative cultural layering
that built civilization. Where other models fragment, APH integrates: revelation
as guidepost, cognition as spark, demography as flame. Together they reveal
humanity
’s rise not as an accident of numbers but as the unfolding of a
designed inflection, the true threshold of Adam.
Evidence Ledger: Predictions vs. Observations
To test competing models, we can map their predictions against the evidence.
Table 12.5 — Evidence Ledger: Demography vs. Cognition vs. APH
The evidence ledger shows that APH is not speculative but predictively powerful: it anticipates both the
symbolic threshold and the subsequent demographic explosion.
