It's old viruses that are left over and it's never been properly deleted because there are no real code revisions in the genome. ...How much of this 10%, about 75 megabytes code for the brain, we don't really know. What we do know is that we share almost all of this with mice. Genetically speaking, a human is a pretty big mouse, with a few bits changed to fix some of the genetic expressions. ...Most of the stuff there is going to code for cells and metabolism and what your body looks like, ...
