[QUOTE="USincognito, post: 73463031, member: 21511"] Since the main premise of the OP has been put to rest, I'd like to offer a few design notes on a couple of points in it. These are chromosome fusions, not gene fusions. I'm not even sure there is a mechanism for gene fusion. Hybridization is not mechanism for speciation so I don't know why you added the parenthetical comment except as a blanket denial of speciation. We could also go further on the discussion of monophyly and note that beings never stop being what they were. So that a descendant is only technically a "different" life-form. The fusion occurred in the human lineage after the common ancestral population speciated. That has always been known. Yes, the fusion happened in the population that led to genus Homo. No, it is powerful evidence that humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor because the fused chromosome has the same genes in the same positions as the two chimpanzee chromosome inherited from the common ancestor. You wen't Hovind. Don't ever go Hovind. This sentence, in toto, doesn't make any sense whatsoever. [/QUOTE]
