...no reason for pseudogenes...

Several months ago I brought up the fact that there is a shared mutation that prevents people, chimps, gorillas, et al from producing vitamin C. I can't remember which C used which speculation to avoid the obvious conclusion, but I do remember one of 'em saying that it's a sign the designer used common parts, rather like a car manufacturer, and (I'm not kidding) another one proposing research into why ape DNA is more vulnerable to mutation than monkey DNA!

Yeah, except the parts are not exactly the same from one organism to the next...

Let's see... big, nearly hairless apes toast themselves in tanning beds and on beaches, their DNA is cooked from the UV... monkeys don't tan... Question answered, and hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars saved for not having to do the research.
