In HGT how have foreign sequences entered the human genome?

I suggest that the most likely route by which exogenous sequences have entered the human genome is via sperm-mediated gene transfer. I hypothesised about this possibility previously, if interested please see Smith K. The Role of Sperm-Mediated Gene Transfer in Genome Mutation and Evolution. Medical Hypotheses, 2002; 59(4): 433-437.
