How long before this science thread will be hidden in General Chat?

Now here’s a brilliant idea... let’s take a retrovirus that all of humanity existing today is here because of a mutation that keeps the virus from working....

and rework it to once again be active.

This sounds like a script from a bad sci-fi movie.......

Ok, which part of this is a good idea?

Ping for later read. I have to go to #1 Son’s gymnastics meet.

HERV sequences in human and primate DNA are no doubt the most powerful proof of evolution. Mapping which HERV sequences are common between the species results in a species evolution map corresponding to those made by traditional fossil studies.

Since we know that HERV sequences inherited via DNA are the result of a specific infection in a specific individual that against all odds was trasmitted to offspring, all these HERV sequences common between various species are hard proof of human evolution.

Just because one can do something does not mean one SHOULD do it.

Sheesh!

YEah, lets bring back old dead viruses that could kill all of humanity.

Smart.

I am sure they are taking precautions, but this is still rather freaky.
