Re: Junk DNA
read his piece in the journal Science
It's behind their subscription barrier, though it's old enough that registering for free may let you read it.
Everybody here ought to register, anyway - you'll waste even more time digging around the 'net if you do. What joy!

Re: ADAPTATION: WHAT IT MEANS.
This amazing feat is due to the cow being able to secrete a certain enzyme which converts the hay to protein.
Well, no, it isn't. A cow has a rumen chunk full of a very diverse community of bacteria and archaea. Those little guys make enzymes that convert the cellulose in hay into glucose, which cow enzymes burn to make energy - just like lion enzymes do. Cows and lions both have to have a source of protein or of amino acids to make their own proteins. Hay has a bit of protein. Cows are a more concentrated source, and lions and people often prefer that convenience.

Re: Introductory Virology
It means that a harmful virus could also have been accepted by the ape - which makes the apes' survival very doubtful!
Have you ever had a cold or a case of the flu, IaJ? Or a cold sore? If you have, I suppose you have no immune system and that your survival up to today has been "very doubtful."
You make no sense at all.
