But you can actually see the pinch point. It looks unnatural. Right. Because it's a little skinny place. But here's the thing. Not only were the pre-existing chromosomes fused telomere to telomere, but after the fusion...

genes were taken away and genes were added and genes were silenced to stabilize the fusion and it didn't happen slowly gradually over a long period of time as evolution would suggest this happened quickly to 200 000 years ago it's when we showed up to it the chromosomes were fused when we showed up and what is the significance of those chromosomes being of that chromosome 2 being fused

The significance is it gives us our humanness. If we didn't have chromosome two, you wouldn't have the neocortex. You wouldn't have sympathy, empathy, compassion. You wouldn't have the ability to self-regulate your own biology. And if that was the only one, you could say maybe. It's weird, but maybe it's a fluke, but it wasn't the only one. Chromosome number seven.

So as a musician, I'm a musician when I'm not doing this. And I've always, chimpanzees, they share 98% of our DNA. I mean, that's a mind blower, 98%. And so I've always wondered, why can't the chimpanzee sing? You're never going to hear a chimpanzee sing in Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven. Or if you ever do, shoot me a text because I want to see that. And the question is, why?

And the answer is because chromosome 7 was stable in all primates for about 175 million years. Stable. All right, all of a sudden, two little genes, there was this little switch of these two genes that connected our tongue and our jaw and the part of our brain that allows us complex speech and the ability to sing. And guess, just take a wild guess, when do you think that happened?

no idea 200 000 years ago 200 000 years exactly the same time chromosome 2 was being fused exactly the time that we appeared on earth what are the odds of chromosome 2 being fused and chromosome 7 happening all at the same time and the the odds are astronomically small because the odds of our genome forming the way it formed is 1 in 10 to the 600th what is the conventional explanation for this

Darwin's theory of evolution suggests that we are the product of a long, slow, gradual process over a long period of time through what is called random mutations. Colloquially, we call it lucky biology. It's kind of like you've referred to Goldilocks conditions on Earth. It's the equivalent of Goldilocks.
