""Acknowledging recent challenges by proponents of 'intelligent design,' a proposition that posits the need for an intelligent creator, several scientists said the genome study offered elegant confirmation of Darwin's vision of evolution.

"One analysis, for example, showed that the accumulation of deleterious mutations in the human and chimp genomes is greater than in the mouse and rat genomes in just the proportion predicted by one of the mathematical corollaries of the theory of evolution.

"'I can't imagine Darwin hoping for a stronger confirmation of his ideas,' said Robert H. Waterston, who led the Washington University team."
