Similarity between two sets of DNA does not prove that one species produced offspring from another species, but identity of two DNA samples proves that the two samples came from the same individual.

DNA similarity would not prove a common ancestor. But the several thousand relics of past retro virus infections in specific individuals that were handed down to both it's primate and human descendants do.

This is the smoking gun that proves a common ancestor, equally well as OJ's guilt was proved by the DNA at the murder scene from the cut on his hand.

Interesting. Well, help me understand it.

If men and apes suffer from the same virus it proves men descended from apes?
