I’m at the point where I think a lot of scientists are full of crap. One gene difference doesn’t make sense. We differ person to person.

Apes and humans also have a different amount of chromosomes which also makes a difference. Obviously a pretty big difference!

Humans, animals and plants contain the same biological building blocks such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen et al, but that doesn’t mean we are related. It just goes to show that an enormous variety of life forms can be made from just a few ingredients.

1/4 of a gene in some

Which means one of two things...

1. either that using genetic differences as a way of judging differences between species or within a specie is totally worthless, or...
2. they haven’t looked at the genes in sufficient details to observe all the differences

In other words, if by looking at genes you have a hard time differentiating a chimpanzee from an Einstein or Sophia Loren, then it’s a useless tool for predicting what someone will end up being. Sort of like saying monkeys and humans both have two legs, so there must be no difference between them?

Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle.

“Junk” DNA is simply the data segment. Humans are apes with an upgrade. Most of them, anyway.

Add it to the ape and make a human. Then we’ll talk.

Humans wear Wranglers. Apes wear Levis.

Are you saying human is Ape Vs 1.01 or Ape Second Edition :)

Some studies possibly indicate a suggestion of a connection between may be related and associated with but not always so furthr clarification of pending questions might be needed.

Others are of the opinion this may be the exception to the general rule that variation occurs at times in an unpredictable way but as yet they’re not sure without further studies.

Is it Gene Shalit?

But are they tight fittin'?
