Cross-sectional dating has been used to suggest that two members of HERV-K(HML2), HERV-K106 and HERV-K116, were active in the last 800,000 years and that HERV-K106 may have infected modern humans 150,000 years ago.
A datación transversal utilizouse para propoñer que dous membros concretos da familia HERV-K(HML2), chamados HERV-K106 e HERV-K116, estiveron activos nos últimos 800.000 anos e que o HERV-K106 puido ter infectado aos humanos modernos hai 150.000 anos.
