I have better things to do than waste more of my time correcting your many misunderstandings and misrepresentations.

I'm beginning to wonder.

I posted a science article along with some facts relating to the study. It was the Doc that came along and derailed my thread. Those facts again in case you missed them:

Until now, Alu DNA repeats have been considered "junk dna." The study shows key differences between humans and other primates. The finding is counter to natural selection.

Have a nice day.

He "derailed" your thread by pointing out the findings and implications of the science article that *you* posted? Ooookay....

Those facts again in case you missed them: Until now, Alu DNA repeats have been considered "junk dna."

They still are.

The study shows differences between humans and other primates.

Yes it does. But this is hardly shocking news. Did you have some sort of point here?

The finding is counter to natural selection.

No it isn't, regardless of what the clueless science reporter might decide to put as a subheadline in order to try to add some drama to what would otherwise be a dry article.

Have a nice day.

You too.
