Believe it or Not !! Viruses are involved in the evolution of primates into human beings!!

Are the Humans are the descendants of viruses?

       By definition, viruses are parasites, that infects cells and causes diseases. They posses far greater power. If we could go back to the evolutionary time, we would see that every plant, every animal and even humans were created as a large part of the viruses.

YES! We are the descendants (A progeny of a previous generation) of the creature.

VIRUSES are the leading edge of the evolution.

How Do Viruses Helps To Create a Life?

Viruses are like tiny robots together they form machine like invaders, there only weapon is the piece of genetic code, which may inject into a cell. Once they are inside the cell,the codes can quickly destroy the cells DNA and takes control.

The cells are then forced to build more viruses until it finally explodes releasing a new replicates of  replicon.

Viruses has a real power to rearrange the blueprints of life(DNA).

RETROVIRUSES

RETROVIRUSES: In order to complete their life cycle, they integrate themselves into the host, takes their genetic information and become the part of the host's genetic information. If a retrovirus integrates into a sperm or egg cells, the genetic changes can become permanent and passes from generation to generation.

If this integration might happen repeatedly through evolutionary time, the basic blue print can be altered eventually.

If retroviruses can change our genetic code it is the moment where the virus and the host merge.

Retroviruses helps to explain how primates evolved into human beings.

Chimpanzee and the humans blueprints are eventually similar about 99 percent.

So where are the instructions that make us Unique?

JUNK DNA

Junk DNA are the pieces of genetic code present in chimpanzee. It also covers up our genome too.

One of the big surprising thing is initial sequencing of human genome about 90 to 93% junk. We are predominantly junk according to this view.

Lets imagine, long ago, when virus integrated the primates, they become redrawing their blueprints.

As lot of changes went nowhere,evolutionary dead ends  overtime, however,some changes proved beneficial for survival, and as they accumulated, Primates gave rise to the new species, Human Beings.

Primates and Human Beings were continuosly colonized by their own retroviruses.
