One thing I remember is that 1.4% of human DNA is different from=20 chimpanzee DNA. I'm not sure, but that might be an old statistic. These days, it's more like 0.4% for both chimpanzees and bonobos. See http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2012/...losest-human-= relatives and note the last paragraph which says "This item has been updated to reflect that chimps and bonobos are two species of chimpanzees that are close enough to humans to share 99.6% of their DNA. The international sequencing effort was led by Max Planck composed of multiple teams including 454 Life Sciences in Branford, Connecticut. The researchers also found that the ancestors of humans split from the ancestor of bonobos and chimps more than 4 million years ago, not more than 5 million years ago as originally reported." |
