Marilyn > Yes Wildtrout, we are 3% higher than the chimp as in the
difference between our respective DNAs.
And we're 3.5% from wildebeests. And 5.3% from amoeba. I have never
found the claim that "humans are x% different in their DNA from [insert
here the animal you're trying to show we're closely related to]" very
compelling. And, even if it *were* shown that percentage of DNA from
the next animal is important, that's the body anyway. What makes
people people are their souls. We have 'em and animals don't.
Interesting subject I'd be glad to continue off list, if you're
interested.
Apologies, Don, for the off topic.
