In reference to the apparant "randomness" of ERV Insertions, what impact if any result in this example that ERV's are not that random afterall? http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/11/051128010951.htm

This is an interesting thread, and I am currently engaged into a debate over it's findings. Lack of knowledge is a real issue so scuse me if this is a dumb question. Are the insertions not random, and by this I mean that both Chimp & Human share the insertions but the insertions are not random. Meaning that the same virus inserts it's junk at the same place with both species! The reply I am trying to deal with is: Regards Root

Radical Edward Firstly, I must say that I enjoyed your post. For me as a devout evolutionist I find it at times complex and above my understanding with certain aspects. I used your post as a source for a forum debate. And I would be interested in your opinion on comments made against it. I know it's long. But I am interested in your opinion and others here. Many thanks
