DNA Evidence That Humans & Chimps Share A Common Ancestor: Endogenous Retroviruses

I now have a series of videos doing a deep dive into ERVs on the "Stated Casually" channel. Check it out here: • Did God put Endogenous...
Here we explore the amazing discovery of Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs) in our own DNA. These are genetic remnants of antient virus infections suffered by our ancestors. It turns out that many of our Endogenous Retroviruses are shared by chimpanzees. This is because we share a common ancestor with them.
For links to each paper shown in this video, and to check the math discussed in this animation, see our article here: docs.google.com/document/d/1g...

    Apes also can’t make vitamin C because of a common mutation we both share at the exact location on one of our chromosomes. It’s pretty much impossible for this exact mutation to match. The reason why this negative mutation survived was for the fact that our ancestors ate mostly fruit so the ability to make it without ingesting it wasn’t Detrimental. Most people have no idea that other mammals can make vitamin C without actually ingesting it.

    Religious indoctrination of children right from birth should do the trick. When we're little, that's when we're the most moldable/receptive to the world around us; this is evolutions way of making sure that we get acclimated to the environment for survival purposes. During these times we're ment to learn the framework needed to survive in the world from our parents; hence why we can learn languages, math, complex problem solving skills... skills which goes onto act as a backbone to provide a framework of understanding for our futures. Religious indoctrination/upbringing hijacks this primary function since the parents "teach" the kids creation magic is what they should believe, (children knowing no better accepts this way of "thinking"), so a lot of them end up having inner conflicts when they encounter evidence that challenge their beliefs hence ✨cognitive dissonance✨

    I love how some people will try to debunk this by saying “if we’re related to apes, why can’t we reproduce with them??” Like, they don’t understand that just because chimps and orangutans are in the same family apes that means they can interbreed. Just because certain species of animals are related doesn’t mean they can interbreed. By this logic a king and a rattlesnake aren’t related because they can’t interbreed.

    *SOME PEOPLE STILL ASK, "WHY ARE THERE STILL APES (OR MONKEYS)?"* It should be obvious that such people lack an understanding of what evolution is and how it works. Apparently someone told such people that humans evolved from apes, and from that, due to their lack of education, they assumed that all apes were supposed to evolve into humans. That is not how evolution works, but creationists have no interest in learning anything other than creation mythology. They might just as well have asked "If dogs are descended from wolves, why are there still wolves?" Or even "If Americans came from Europe, why are there still Europeans?" Just as dogs descended from a population of wolves, so too did humans evolve from one particular population of apes. What we know is that the first apes evolved in Africa about 25 million years ago from a population of Old World Monkeys. Whereas monkeys run on all four feet across the TOPS of branches, apes evolved the ability to swing, arm over arm, from branch to branch. Evolution works to make each species best suited to their environment. For apes, that environment was the forest and they are well suited for it. At one time there were about 30 different species of apes in those forests. Had environmental conditions remained the same, we would still see forests covering the whole African continent. However, conditions did not stay the same; the climate became drier. As a result, forested areas shrank in size and were replaced by grasslands, the African savanna, with just a few scattered trees. The shrinking forests put different ape species in competition with each other and many went extinct. Then, about 6 or 7 million years ago, one population of apes split, with some of them opting for life on that open savanna. All apes are capable of walking upright, they are just not comfortable doing so for long periods of time. Recent experiments with trained chimps on a treadmill have shown that for them, walking upright was more efficient in terms of energy expended than quadrupedal walking. Chimps and other apes though must shift their weight from side to side while walking bipedaly. That savanna environment favored skeletal changes that placed the knees directly under the center of gravity. by about 4 mya, our ancestral australopithecines had almost the same pelvis, femur, knees and feet as modern humans. That gave them a smooth stride that was efficient for long distance travel. They did however, retain long arms and curved fingers enabling them to climb a tree when danger threatened. The apes that remained in a forest environment were under little pressure to change. They became the ancestors of today's chimps and bonobos. Those living in the open were presented challenges not experienced by woodland apes, and that required greater intelligence and cooperation to overcome them. It set their descendants on a different evolutionary trajectory that culminated in us.

    @@Yuxim Well okay. I mean I see your point but it's not just stupidity or egotism. People are actually psychologically motivated to believe in their traditional beliefs. The beliefs their family and community believe. Neurologists often study something called cognitive bias. Here's 5, just so you see what I mean. Conformity bias is the tendency to accept what we hear the most from the most people. Authority bias is the tendency to accept what we're told by our authority figures. Agenticity is the tendency to assign agency behind random events. Self serving bias is the tendency to accept beliefs more likely to benefit us. Belief perseverance is the tendency to hang on to beliefs that we already believe, even in light of evidence to the contrary. Now we all have these biases. But notice how each one of them helps to support a person's traditional beliefs? Especially supernatural beliefs? And there are many more and many others are the same way in that they also help to support a person's traditional beliefs. No one is a perfect skeptic. We all fall prey to bad beliefs from time to time. But it is very interesting to me that these traditional beliefs seem specifically supported by so many of these cognitive biases.

    11:40 In fact, one could argue that evolution is better understood than the gravity! We understand the mechanism behind the evolution and the evidence is overwhelming. On the other hand, we have lots of evidence for gravity and we know how it seems to behave but we still don't understand the mechanism behind it (e.g. some argue that it's transferred by gravitrons moving at the speed of light, similar to photons; some other people argue that it's just a curvature of spacetime and doesn't actually manifest as particles and the gravitation waves are just waves in spacetime). The fact that a given creationist fails to understand evolution is not a proof against evolution but a proof against understanding of that individual.

    Because evolution has never been scientifically proven, evolutionists have started to call adaptive changes as ”evolution”. But there is no evolution. Species can produce only adaptive variations and subspecies, that’s all. In America there are over 20 elk subspecies. They are all elks and they will never produce anything else than more different elks. All so-called ”evolution” processes are in fact devolution processes, as each new subspecies has less genetic variety than its stem species (like "dealing a deck of cards"). This fact makes impossible for any subspecies to create the path that would lead to new taxonomic genera or new taxonomic families i.e. to evolution. Physics is the basis for modern natural sciences. Robert Laughlin, professor of physics at Stanford University, and sharer in a Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the fractional quantum Hall effect, describes evolution theory as ”an ideology, a logical dead end and an anti-theory”. Professor Laughlin notes that empirical natural science does not need the evolution theory, and the evolution theory does not get support from empirical natural science. We have a very practical reason to believe in creationism because abiogenesis and evolution have both been scientifically proven impossible, at least as long as we believe that the laws of physics and the genetic realities are as they have always been. Many of the greatest names in science were believing in God: Nicolaus Copernicus (a monk), Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Michael Faraday, Joseph Priestley, James Clerk Maxwell, Gregor Mendel (the founder of genetics and abbot of a monastery), Lord Kelvin and Albert Einstein. Even Charles Darwin wasn’t an outright atheist. Plus, many of the pioneers of quantum physics: Werner Heisenberg, Max Plank, Erwin Schrödinger, James Jeans, Louis de Broglie, Wolfgang Pauli and Arthur Eddington. And today's scientists - the astrophysicist Paul Davies, Simon Conway Morris (Professor of Evolutionary Paleobiology at Cambridge), Alasdair Coles (Professor of Neuro-immunology at Cambridge), John Polkinghorne (who was Professor of Mathematical Physics at Cambridge), Russell Stannard, Freeman Dyson ... and Francis Collins, who led the team of 2,400 international scientists on the Human Genome Project and was an atheist until the age of 27, when he became a Christian. Over 60% of all Nobel Laureates in Science believe in God. The more stupid or uneducated a person is, the more he is inclined towards atheism and evolution theory.

    Yes, we do find the same ERVs in orangutans and gorillas. You can read about this in the HERV-W paper. Note that chimps, however, are special in that they seem to have had a large deletion mutation that nocked out a few of their ERVs after the chimp/human split (If I remember right, it was 3 ERVs taken out by one large deletion). We suspect it was a knockout because the ERVs AND the flanking sequences are missing. If they simply never had those ERVs, the uninterrupted flanking sequences would be in the genome.
