Human(s) Chromosome 2 resulted from the Fusion of two Ape Chromosomes: Easily seen.

Just one mutation/squeeze play made us 'humans.'

`
To show how random gene construction is, you can look at the list of genes on Chromosome 2, which is available here:


You'll notice three important Hox genes for body shape and segmentation (FBXO11, PAX3, SATB2), a critical immune system gene (CTLA4), and a gene related to hereditary Parkinsonism (PARK3).

Robertsonian fusion of ape chromosomes in Homo

Humans have 2n=46 chromosomes, as compared with 2n=48 in all of our other closest relatives, the Great Apes (Chimpanzee, Gorillas, and Orangutans). Whereas Chromosome 2 is a single, large sub-metacentric in humans, the other apes have two smaller, acrocentric chromosomes. Comparison of banding patterns allows these chromosomes to be aligned, and shows that during human evolution the ancestral chromosomes have undergone an end-to-end Robertsonian fusion to form a single larger chromosome. The gene contents of chimp and human chromosomes are substantially identical [note that the bands are conserved]. Molecular inspection of the area in the human 2q1.2~1.4 region shows telomere-like DNA sequences from the chimp chromosomes, as predicted.

So you are saying that genetic mutations and not natural selection were responsible.

I Taught you about that. (Punctuated Equilibrium)
LOL, you Lying 5-word little Fool.
Why didn't you check before makling the claim?
Answer? You're not smart enough/Don't care enough about anything to look it up!
It's so easy.

I used the term as far back as 2013 and also in 2014 and 2015, etc, etc, etc.

Teaching you about biological evolution is one of my greatest achievements at USMB.
