Human Evolution Discussion with Ahmed

[Ahmed_AbdelSattar]

@Michael_Okoko

We don’t have an “80% difference”, rather 71% of human-chimp orthologous protein sequences (that is, protein sequences inherited from the common ancestor of humans and chimps) differ by at least one amino acid. The remnant 29% are identical, that is, if we see “A” in the human version, we also see “A” in the chimp version: this happens for every amino acid position in the protein sequence.

And you think this is evidence for which one of us? (Are you serious to think it is towards your argument?)
PS: Why are you ignoring 5 million indels?!

@Michael_Okoko

We know that 8% of the human genome is composed of ERVs

which you think we understand?
We don’t!
First, they are thought to be junk of remnants, and then… we start finding functions.
Maybe someone should have given ENCODE a real chance instead of resenting/resisting its findings! Maybe we could have known better by now!

@Michael_Okoko

If we read the same primary literature on this topic, then you would know this is an empirically false claim.

Quote the reference that will support you, please.
