The most interesting fact of science: Human apes and the other great apes share an ancient common ancestor.

Currently a professor of biology and the Royce Family Professor for Teaching Excellence at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, Dr. Miller in the video explains by DNA analysis how science now testably confirms that human beings and other great apes (e.g, gorillas and chimpanzees) share an ancient common ancestor. Apes today still have 24 pairs of chromosomes, but humans, instead of 24 ostensibly have 23, including one fused pair.

Dr. Miller argues that for evolutionary theory to hold true, humans could not have “lost” a pair of chromosomes during their evolution. And we didn’t — the “lost” pair is still there but fused together.

“It’s there. It’s testable,” Miller says in the video. “It confirms the prediction of evolution.”

Dr. Ken Miller talks about the relationship between Homo sapiens and the other primates. He discusses a recent finding of the Human Genome Project which identifies the exact point of fusion of two primate chromosomes that resulted in human chromosome #2.
