You’re human family tree is oversimplified
OK Tiel, I may disagree with you but I will, as an aside, give you something: your English is good enough that you may as well perfect it.
you're = you are.
Your = possessive adjective as in your house, argument, thing
Only exception if you can't be buggered changing it. That's what I do.
"ur" is making inroads unfortunately, replacing both. And it is helped on its way by the fact that so many people misspell and misread and misuse "your" and "you're" so often, context is used to sort it out. And context is usually right. Bye bye a bit more punctuation.
By the way, who are those people in that picture? It is a fascinating guess. Do you know?
