Abstract
It is old-established that the chromosome number in the chimpanzee, gorilla and orangutan was 48 and not 46 as in man. However, cause and effect of such chromosome rearrangement is unknown. A hypothesis has been proposed that natural selection caused merger of two pairs of autosomes into one chromosome. In the changed climate of the East Africa individuals with less amount of chromosomal Q-heterochromatin regions (Q-HRs) in genome were the most adapted. Two pairs of acrocentrics in the genome the common ancestor, which merged into a single chromosome, apparently, carried on their short arms of Q-HRs with a very high frequency, preventing the birth of individuals with a low number Q-heterochromatin. With the merger of these two pairs of acrocentrics into one, the number of autosomes bearing the Q-HRs reduced from nine to seven pairs, as in the modern human. Such chromosome rearrangement resulted in two important consequences: а) chromosomal Q-HRs distributed into seven Q-polymorphic autosomes, so that it was possible to give birth to the individuals with different, including the low, number of Q-heterochromatin; b) in the population individuals with low number of Q-HRs appeared, able to adapt to new, harsher climatic conditions. With the lapse of time, these individuals formed a new population in the new territory, where individuals with a number of chromosomal Q-HRs like the modern natives of Africa, and with the number of 46 chromosomes in the genome began to dominate. Thus, the cause of the origin of the 46 chromosome karyotype from an ancestral 48 chromosome line was natural selection, and an effect was adaptation, i.e. individuals with different, including the low, number of Q-HRs, got the advantage to open up and to colonize new ecological zones of the East Africa.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
