GrumpyMrGruff wrote: However, the authors point out that this is consistent with the current understanding of primate phylogeny. It’s only a problem if one assumes quick fixation for the ERV – that it’s inherited by every member of the population before speciation. In this case, the authors propose that some members of the ancestral species …

Or if you believe in panspermia instead, that is also untestable. Predictions: – All humanity traces lineage to one man and one woman. How does this seperate itself from evolution? …
Human Creation Model: – God created the first man and woman (tens of thousands of years ago). – God created the first humans distinct from the animals. – All humans arose from the first couple. – A global flood occurred. Noah and his sons and all their wives were the only humans (total of 8) …

The average height and size of Homo heidelbergensis is larger than humans. Cranal capacity is also quite large. “Homo heidelbergensis had a larger brain when compared to …

But Darwin a century later explained the same set of ordered relationships between organisms as being the result of divergent evolution and shared ancestry. More important, though, …
Goat wrote:you have to show that ERV is in other great apes but not in chimps.. that has not been shown to be true. Even if it is shown, it would be simply explained as a deletion in the chimp line. At the risk of repeating ad infinitum, here are the list of homo sapien …
Goat wrote: Another one was the prediction that when it was discovered that the humans had one chromosome pair less than the other great apes, there would be a fusion event discovered, and that fusion event was found. OK, let’s explore this. Chimps, Gorillas, and Orangutans have 48 chromosomes (24 pairs). Humans have 46 chromosomes …
McCulloch wrote: otseng wrote: Also, if ERV are caused by a virus insertion, why should similarities be limited to the chimp? Shouldn’t there also be ERV similarities between humans and other species in the human lineage? Yes. And according to evolutionary theory, the further back the most recent common ancestor is the fewer ERV similarities …
Grumpy wrote: “What was the common ancestor?” We don’t yet know with any certainty exactly where the split occurred, the oldest hominid, upright-walking(and thus in the same line or sidebranch of the line that led to modern humans)is Orrorin Tugenensis So, no evidence exists of the common ancestor between chimps and humans. “And what is …
