The difference between today’s human being and pre-humans, which can also be considered
non-human animals, is that true, real, fully complete human nature is totally unique as it is rational/corporeal, spirit/matter, body and soul. In his nature, man unites the material and spiritual realms. All genetic mutations involve matter; therefore they are part of the material realm and as such cannot account for the spiritual soul of human nature.
I agree. The key difference between humans and pre-humans is God’s intervention of providing a soul.

One question is whether there is a genetic difference between humans and pre-humans in addition to the presence of a soul. Based on my genetic analysis above (as a non-geneticist), it appears to me that there cannot be a genetic difference between humans and pre-humans, provided Adam and Eve were contemporaneous.
 
In fact, natural science should not be expected to explain the total and fully complete origin of the human species.
My OP does not suggest that it should. The “origin of a material body”, in the context of secondary causes, is the primacy of science. Thus the question of where the material body, of which we are composed, came from, is a completely legitimate enquiry. The scientist does not need to consider whether or not scientific evidence is going to contradict somebodies religious faith. Empirical science, as a practice, can only go where the evidence leads, and cannot yield to suspicion and despair.
