If humans and other primates do not share a common ancestor …?
So how is that human endogenous retrovirus K (HERV-K) sequences of DNA are present in exactly the same chromosomal position in the human genome, as found in several other primate chromosomes? HERV-K is a kind of integration of endogenous retroviruses found in human DNA and DNA from several other primates. From inherited retroviral insertions are rare events, and from insertion sites in DNA are random, it makes no sense why humans and other apes make identical sequences in identical chromosomal locations if you do not assume that human beings other primates share a common ancestor.

Discovering Ardi $36.99 Discovering Ardi begins its story with the 1974 discovery of Australopithecus afarensis in Hadar, northeastern Ethiopia. Nicknamed “Lucy,” this 3.2 million year old skeleton was, at the time, the oldest hominid skeleton ever found. As the Discovery Channel special documents, Lucy’s title would be overtaken twenty years later by the 1994 discovery of “Ardi” in Ethiopia’s Afar region in the Middle A… |

The Ancestor’s Tale by Dawkins, Richard; Wong, Yan Edition ILL, 1 $30.49 The renowned biologist and thinker Richard Dawkins presents his most expansive work yet: a comprehensive look at evolution, ranging from the latest developments in the field to his own provocative views. Loosely based on the form of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Dawkins's Tale takes us modern humans back through four billion years of life on our planet. As the pilgrimage progresses, we join with other organisms at the forty rendezvous points where we find a common ancestor. The band of pilgrims swells into a vast crowd as we join first with other primates, then with other mammals, and so on back to the first primordial organism.Dawkins's brilliant, inventive approach allows us to view the connections between ourselves and all other life in a bracingly novel way. It also lets him shed bright new light on the most compelling aspects of evolutionary history and theory: sexual selection, speciation, convergent evolution, extinction, genetics, plate tectonics, geographical dispersal, and more. The Ancestor's Tale is at once a far-reaching survey of the latest, best thinking on biology and a fascinating history of life on Earth. Here Dawkins shows us how remarkable we are, how astonishing our history, and how intimate our relationship with the rest of the living world. |
