Since our ancestors infected themselves with retroviruses millions of years ago, we have carried elements of these viruses in our genes – known as human endogenous retroviruses, or HERVs for short.
These viral elements have lost their ability to replicate and infect during evolution, but are an integral part of our genetic makeup.
