[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1471859, member: 27490"] You are exactly correct! [b]The chimpanzee and human genomes are more than 98% identical[/b]. Man is not that far removed from the cow: [b]A comparison of the cow genome, with more than 22,000 genes, with other mammalian genomes is already turning up surprises. Although humans share a more recent common ancestor with rodents than they do with cows, it turns out that our genome more closely resembles those of cows and dogs. This is probably because mice and rats evolve so quickly thanks to rapid reproduction, much quicker than other species, says one of the team leaders, Kim Worley, a genomicist from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, where the sequencing was done.[/b] [url=http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2009/04/mooove-over-humans-cow-genome-here]http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2009/04/ ... enome-here[/url] [/QUOTE]
