I understand that considerable genetic differentiation between humans and other primates have been found. It has been found to such an extent that the smooth evolution theories have been problematized.

I found this:

Chimpanzees seem almost human, and scientists have maintained for decades that chimps are, in fact, 98.5 percent genetically identical to humans.

But the results of a new study call that figure into question, with a finding that there are actually large chunks of the human and chimp genomes that are vastly different.

Researchers at a company called Perlegen Sciences in Mountain View, California, used a powerful biological computer chip that can scan the entire genetic makeup of an organism, that is, its whole genome. The results, published in Monday's issue of Genome Research, show that chimps and humans are much more different than scientists previously thought.




Don't worry-- I am sure this is total fundamentalist nonsense.
