Genomic Evidence Refutes the Chromosome 2 Fusion | Jeffrey P. Tomkins, PhD

 

Humans and apes differ in their diploid chromosome numbers by two (humans = 46, apes = 48). To explain the discrepancy, evolutionists claim that a fusion between two smaller chromosomes occurred in a chimp-like ancestor. However, the genomic evidence for both the alleged fusion site and the cryptic centromere refutes this idea which has been documented in a series of three published papers.  Data from these papers along with new data looking at micro-synteny surrounding the fusion site will be presented.
