I'm sorry, you are still speculating. You are basing your assumptions on findings which themselves have proven in some cases to be undecided. It goes back to the old saying, "the proof is in the pudding". Show me ape to man through experimentation, don't give me a bone here or a gene there. Find me an animal that is currently evolving into man. Surely, there is one somewhere. Bigfoot, the abominable snowman, something.

As I stated ERV distribution in primates shows primate common ancestory to be beyond doubt. It is not speculation. The ERV's are observed, studied, experiments are performed to understand how retroviruses work. From the results the deduction is made that shared ERV's across primates cannot have arisen independently (its against the odds), which may not conclusively demonstrate common ancestory except that the pattern of different ERV's across primate species coincidently fits a nested heirarchy which matches the expected tree of primate evolution. Too many coincidences. And there are the shared pseudo-genes which match the same tree of descent.

A crime doesn't have to be observed to fit the pieces together to a level beyond doubt.

How would ape to man in a lab prove that evolution occurred over time outside the lab? Why would it take LESS evidence to prove evolution to you than it would to the scientific community (who would NEVER accpet the theory of evolution as perfect).

Find me an animal that is currently evolving into man.

This would likely be problematic for the theory of evolution is a different animal, under different environmental conditions, evolved at a different time to become a man. It would in fact be excellent evidence AGAINST the theory of evolution, as it WOULD point to some sort of design if location, time, conditions, and starting form did not matter ...

Perhaps you should look up some more information about the theory of evolution as it exists today?
