Pseudogenes: The Broken DNA That Proves Human Evolution

Why do humans have over 20,000 broken genes in our DNA? Pseudogenes are non-functional genetic sequences that act as molecular fossils, providing some of the most compelling evidence for human evolution and common ancestry with other primates. 🧬 IN THIS VIDEO: • What pseudogenes are and how they form • The broken vitamin C gene (GULO) we share with other primates • Why humans have 400+ broken smell receptor genes • How pseudogenes prove common descent • Addressing common objections to pseudogene evidence 🔬 KEY EVIDENCE COVERED: The GULO pseudogene – why humans can't make vitamin C Olfactory receptor pseudogenes – our degraded sense of smell Shared mutations across primate species Molecular clock dating through pseudogene analysis This video explores how the same broken genes, with the same disabling mutations, in the same locations across primate species provide undeniable evidence for evolution through common descent. 📚 SOURCES & FURTHER READING: 1. *Zhang, Z., & Gerstein, M.
