Evidence like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKb1LXxKNHY
Though I doubt you'd spend 15 minutes listening to a science geek explaining how genetic markers indicating an absorbed retrovirus are passed down from species to species to species through the evolutionary process.
Basically, finding endogenous retroviral sequences in identical chromosomal positions of two different species indicates common ancestry. And we DO find retrogenes in the "same chromosomal place" when we look at great apes (chimps, gorillas, orangutans, gibbons) and humans. That means apes and humans have a common ancestor.
What about this evidence do you not find persuasive?
