Re: Chromosome loss

Hmm... not sure about that. Humans have 46 chromosomes, but we almost certainly evolved from animals with 48 (given that Gorillas, Chimps and Orangs all have 48).
But remember, we didn't actually lose a chromosome pair. Instead, we have 46 (not 48) because of a fusion event, not a loss.
