Shouldn't the onus of proof be on those making the claim?Swimmy wrote:Could someone break down a quick outline of why Human/ape ancestry isn't fact. Just need it for quick informational purposes.Thanks.

Reporting on research in 2005 found another problem for ERVs:by studying the population dynamics of complete copies of primate endogenous retrovirus family K (ERV-K) in the genomes of humans, chimpanzee and rhesus monkey, a surprising pattern was observed....being published this week on PLoS ONE revealed that human ERV-K had a similar demographic signature to that of the rhesus monkey, both differing greatly from that of the chimpanzee.
