"So with that , itÂ ’ s also pretty easy to imagine that there was no NEED for the human genome to mutate to accommodate a fruitless/vitaminC-less diet . Likewise , we also know that primates also consume a diet high in fruits , leaves and berries , thereby getting plenty of vitamin C. So like humans , primates would have no reason for their genomes to mutate if they ate fruits and leaves high in vitamin C from the beginning ."
"Well yes , but thats not what DEFECTIVE GULO indicates . If one has external sources of vitamin C , GULO can mutate to be inactive without causing a problem , and once inactive the inactive gene can be inherited without causing problems so long as vitamin C intake is high enough . An inactive GULO indicates that the species has external sources of vitamin C which is essential to many metabolic processes ."
