The Fossil Record for Human Evolution: Evidence for Evolution or Post-Flood Isolation & Inbreeding?

Does the hominin (human line) fossil record support evolution or creation? The evolutionary community argues for human evolution by looking to what they call "prehumans" or "primitive humans" in the fossil record. Do icons of human evolution such as Hobbit, Neanderthals, and Homo Naledi provide good evidence for evolution? The answer is no. The best explanation for many of these so-called "pre" humans is migration, isolation, inbreeding, founder effects, and fixation. When a group breaks off from a larger population and becomes isolated, they will experience what is called founder effects. For example, the Hobbit (Homo floresiensis) became isolated on the Island of Flores. They experienced reductive evolution through inbreeding and genetic degeneration. They were also most likely diseased and suffered from various pathologies. Any time a population is isolated for an extended period of time, inbreeding is almost always the result. What this results in is recessive mutations coming to the forefront leading to genetic degeneration.
Environment can also dictate phenotype (physical characteristics of an organism). On islands, organisms can become subject to island dwarfism. This would explain the small brain size, small body sizes, and other atypical features.
The atypical or anomalous features can also be due to pathology. When evolutionary paleoanthropologists hold up a bone and claim it is transitional or primitive (simply because it is atypical), what they are really holding up is often times a bone the result of pathology.
These hominins oftentimes lived in extreme isolation. They were not "pre" human. They were 100% human. They were subjected to inbreeding, and fixation. These atypical features would drift to fixation if the population is small and isolated enough. The hominin fossil record does not support human evolution. What it does support is Post-Babel dispersal, isolation, inbreeding, and genetic degeneration.
