Every known Endogenous Retrovirus (ERV) in the same place in the genome of a chimp and a gorilla is also found in the same place in the human genome.

I never knew this. (extra homework for me now!)

Thanks for the info (I've bookmarked your post).

RE: the ERV evidence for the details of primate phylogeny.

Thanks for the info (I've bookmarked your post).

You're welcome!

Here's another talkorigins essay on genetics.

I've yet to hear an ID argument for the fact that if a genetic marker is found (in the same place) in the genomes of pigs and whales it will also be found in giraffes and hippos.

The essay also discusses another frequently-cited identity in the primate genomes, the one that prevents the synthesis of vitamin C.
