Is Evolution of Man through Ape the Most widely accepted myth of modern society?
no, belief in god is the most widely accepted myth. And you’re correct that DNA similarity is not enough evidence, but when u look at the fossil record, plus DNA, plus behavior, plus all the other science that backs up human evolution, it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion. Check out the fusion of chromosome 2 in humans: http://www.evolutionpages.com/chromosome… 1) The analogous chromosomes (2p and 2q) in the non-human great apes can be shown, when laid end to end, to create an identical banding structure to the human chromosome 2. (1) 2) The remains of the sequence that the chromosome has on its ends (the telomere) is found in the middle of human chromosome 2 where the ancestral chromosomes fused. (2) 3) the detail of this region (pre-telomeric sequence, telomeric sequence, reversed telomeric sequence, pre-telomeric sequence) is exactly what we would expect from a fusion. (3) 4) this telomeric region is exact
Hardly. The most accepted myth in modern society is religion. The evidence that humans and apes share a common ancestor is absolutely overwhelming. For example, both humans and chimpanzees have more than a dozen endogenous retrovirus in the exact same locations in our genomes. Since these viruses insert randomly upon infection, the only explanation for this data is a single infection event inherited by all ancestors. Another example. Humans and all primates except lemurs cannot make vitamin C due to the exact same mutation in the gene for the last enzyme needed in the biosynthetic pathway. Again, the only explanation is a single event inherited by all ancestors. Another. Human chromosome 2 is clearly the result of a fusion of two smaller chromosomes that would give us the same karyotype as the other apes. I could do this all day. Edit: You missed the point. Those three examples are not simple DNA sequence. They are larger features in the genome. Viral infections, deletion mutations, an
