Endogenous retroviruses are ancient viral stowaways in our DNA. Humans and chimps share ERVs in the same genetic locations—an impossibility by chance. These viral fossils are stunning evidence of common ancestry and evolution's undeniable fingerprints.
Humans and chimps share 98.8% of their DNA—so why do some sources claim it's only 95%? This playful breakdown explains what’s being measured, why both numbers are “right,” and why scientists aren’t actually arguing.
Part Three of the Dover trial series highlights the scientists who stepped up and the ID leaders who stepped back. With clarity and conviction, the experts defended not just evolution—but the very nature of science.
A sweeping and sometimes absurd look at human evolution—from ancient primates to Homo sapiens—with fossils, DNA, and lots of tangents. This five-part primer unpacks how scientists trace our tangled roots.
The Dover trial exposed intelligent design as creationism in disguise—and one hilarious typo told the whole story. Dr. Barbara Forrest’s testimony traced the edits in Of Pandas and People, and the courtroom caught a movement mid-transformation.
