Sharing DNA with a plant doesnt mean we evolved from a plant. It means we both evolved from the same life form at some point in the distant past. You can literally count the the genetic mutations in DNA that sent one branch toward homo sapiens and the other branch to a banana tree. This shouldnt be that hard of a concept for you.You do realize a banana comes from a plant dont you? Never mind. I dont know why I keep expecting you to be able to conceptualize the facts when you are ignorant of them.Of course you dont think that now. I had to teach you. Obviously it was relevant to proving that DNA is the proof of evolution. I see you still havent grasped the most important lesson about my example. The fact that turtles share 85% of our DNA is proof that at some point we evolved from the same creature. Its ironic that you have regressed to calling me a moron but you cant comprehend this simple fact. Its obvious you arent educated enough to discuss the subject coherently. Too bad you have let your pride cause you to make a fool of yourself.Dont try to pretend you didnt think that. I never said that meant we were 85% turtle. That was your train of thought. The fact you asked that question lets me know how ignorant you are on the subject of DNA. Now that I have had to school you using your own example of software code and also proving evolution you are trying to deflect. Its ok but just understand I know.
Well I don't think that, I asked you a sarcastic question because you popped off something about us sharing 85% of our DNA with turtles. Apparently, you thought that was relevant for some reason, you brought it up! You're not proving anything except what an absolute moron you are.
It's NOT proof of anything other than DNA is a building block of life. The fact that humans and turtles share 85% of their DNA is no more relevant than humans and bananas sharing 50% of their DNA. We obviously didn't evolve from the same creature as a banana... or, maybe that's what YOU think?
You're not "teaching" anyone a thing other than, some people are idiotic fools who believe sharing similar DNA attributes means we came from the same creature. We share 96% of our DNA with chimps but the 4% we don't share is very important. If the DNA mutates it doesn't result in a better creature. It has to be tit-for-tat, precise down the line, or the species is in trouble and could possibly die.
Although DNA is much more complex, we can compare it with computer program code. You can't take the software code from one program, remove 4% and replace it with code from another program and have a better program. What you end up with is a program that no longer functions or functions improperly.
After over 100 years of study, we find absolutely NO evidence of cross-genus evolution of any kind. EVER! The discovery of mitochondrial DNA pretty much seals the deal with regard to this theory. It's simply not feasible for one genus of life to evolve into another. The only "evolution" that has ever happened is microevolution, which is adaptive changes within a genus to create new species within the parameters of it's genus DNA. Homo erectus can evolve into homo sapien... and that's all. We couldn't even interbreed with homo neanderthalis... that's why they became extinct.
I know its coming along slowly but yes I am teaching you. You do realize that 4% we dont share with chimps is the proof of evolution right? Do you even know how DNA works? Do you know what a mutation of DNA implies and how we can tell if a persons ancestors have come from a certain area of the world?
Your last statement is very amusing. You keep sticking your foot in your mouth. So you think neanderthals became extinct because homo sapiens couldnt interbreed with them? How does that even make sense to you? If thats the case how did neanderthals come about without homo sapiens? Fun fact alert. Some humans have neanderthal DNA like white europeans and asians. Sorry son. I cant do this with you anymore. Do as I instructed and go learn something about DNA with someone intelligent instructing you.
Scientists Identify Neanderthal Genes in Modern Human DNA | Anthropology | Sci-News.com
You are so clueless it's not even funny. Yes, a banana is a plant. We obviously didn't evolve from a plant but we share 50% of a plant's DNA. It doesn't "prove" anything. So no.. I don't realize that the 4% difference between a human and chimp "proves" anything.
From YOUR link:
They showed that nine previously identified human genetic variants known to be associated with specific traits likely came from Neanderthals.
They SPECULATE that humans and neanderthals might have interbred EARLY ON.
Later in the article, they admit this:
“this suggests that when ancient humans met and mixed with Neanderthals, the two species were at the edge of biological incompatibility.”
"...ancient human and Neanderthal populations apparently faced interbreeding challenges after 500,000 years of evolutionary separation."
Both homo sapien and homo neanderthalis as well as homo erectus are in the same genera taxon. It is POSSIBLE they could have interbred but as this study and every study has shown, if they did it was early on... they could not interbreed later and homo neanderthalis became extinct. Whether or not they did, the evidence shows cross-genus evolution is not likely possible or even remotely possible.
So you have a LOT of questions to answer here and they haven't been answered by any valid science.
Do you even know how DNA works? Do you know what a mutation of DNA implies and how we can tell if a persons ancestors have come from a certain area of the world?
I very much know how DNA works but you don't seem to know. A mutation does not create a better organism. They can tell what area because of similarities in regional 'signatures' found within the genome. It has nothing to do with a mutation of the DNA.
Yes... I do need someone "intelligent" to instruct me because that sure as FUCK ain't YOU!
FYI "challenges" doesnt mean "impossible". It just means it was difficult. Whats funny is that even the sentence you bolded says "...when ancient humans met and mixed with Neanderthals". Homo sapiens and neanderthal have been proven to have interbred via DNA. Sorry but the facts are facts. I'm glad you took the time to prove you are interested only in trying to maintain your illiterate assumptions. I dont think anyone can help you if you remain willfully ignorant.
Neanderthals, Humans Interbred—First Solid DNA Evidence
"
The study uncovered the first solid genetic evidence that "modern" humans—or Homo sapiens—interbred with their Neanderthal neighbors, who mysteriously died out about 30,000 years ago.
What's more, the Neanderthal-modern human mating apparently took place in the Middle East, shortly after modern humans had left Africa, not in Europe—as has long been suspected.
