In summary, ERV's are a potent test of common ancestry between species. Commonalities between ERV's in separate species is easily explained by simple heredity of a mutation. The chances of an ERV occurring at the same letter of DNA in separate genomes is extremely improbable due to the random nature of retrovirus insertion and the rarity of ERV production. The insinuation by some in the creationist movement that ERV's are the fingerprints of design is not supported, nor is it substantiated by any data. ERV's are random mutations and viral in origin.
