Humans are 8 percent virus - how these ancient invaders still control us today

HERVs, or human endogenous retroviruses, makeup around 8 percent of the human genome, left behind as a result of infections that humanity's primate ancestors suffered millions of years ago.
...
There is still much to learn about the ancient viruses that linger in the human genome, including whether their presence is beneficial and what mechanism drives their activity.Seeing if any of these genes are actually made into proteins will also be important.
