re: #169 stretch

THe artifactual DNA gives different phylogeny based on the comparison. There is disagreement on the descent, and the phylogeny is inconsistent.

You are wrong. Provide a link to support your case, if you can (and no a Disco Institute, Institute For Creation Research, or Answers In Genesis link won’t do).

The fact is that we share more DNA generally, and more artifactual retroviral DNA sequences specifically, with chimpanzees than we do with gorillas (and more with gorillas than we do with orangutans) - which shows that orangutans evolutionarily diverged first, then gorillas, than chimpanzees. Chimpanzees vs. bonobos is a close call, but it seems that those two might have diverged after their common ancestor diverged from our own ancestors.
