Is there any other explanation for the ERV and shared pseudogene data other than common descent?

Yes, multiple events at different times.

Read the Nature articles on the chimp genome.

Multiple events are seen that are not always shared between common ancestors.

But still, you aren't addressing a positive finding that could falsifythe theory.

Yes, multiple events at different times.

So for example, you are positing that a deletion at the same exact position in the human, chimp and gorilla L-GLO genes occurred independently of each other?
