William Branham and followers of the message are "young earth" proponents, that is, the earth is approximately 6,000 years old.

Every single one fits perfectly into the single, continuous human phylogenetic tree we see today. There is zero trace of a second, highly divergent paternal lineage that a literal serpent-beast fathering Cain would have introduced. No “beast-of-the-field” Y-DNA, no hybrid markers, no genetic cluster that looks non-human or even slightly outside normal Homo sapiens variation.Why This Directly Contradicts Serpent Seed | Every single one fits perfectly into the single, continuous human phylogenetic tree we see today.

If even a small fraction of the pre-Flood population were literal serpent-seed hybrids (as the doctrine claims), their Y-chromosomes would form a completely separate branch — just as Neanderthal or Denisovan admixture is still detectable today as distinct segments in non-African genomes. We have sequenced enough pre-Flood-era individuals that we should have sampled both bloodlines. We have not. | If even a small fraction of the pre-Flood population were literal serpent-seed hybrids (as the doctrine claims), their Y-chromosomes would form a completely separate branch — just as Neanderthal or Denisovan admixture is still detectable today as distinct segments in non-African genomes.
