Up to 8% of human DNA consists of remnants of similar retroviruses, which could influence the very formation of the species. “There is nothing new and terrible in this: such insertions are the result of ancient evolutionary events, and humanity is calmly living with them,” says virologist, professor at Moscow State University, DOCTOR of Biology Alexei Agranovsky. Exactly how the activation of ancient retrovirus proteins by COVID-19 affects the course of the disease is not yet clear.
