Ah, yes, according to the article The chip genome "led to literally too many questions; there were 35 million differences between us and chimpanzees--that's too much to figure out," Jonathan Rothberg, 454's chairman (454 Life Sciences Corp of Branford, CT). Further, the article points out "There are no firm answers yet about how humans picked up key traits such as walking upright and developing complex language."

Yet, humanity is expected to believe that we descended from apes. Believe what you like, but when even scientists can't answer the questions on evolution, however they're using up lots of time and effort and money to try to explain it, it appears that evolution IS NOT the answer.

"You are aware, I hope, that if you consider each and every single nucleotide variance between the Chimp genome and the Human genome as a single reason, giving 35,000,000 reasons to doubt the relationship that leaves 3,465,000,000 reasons to believe the relationship?

I also hope you are aware, using the same standards, that the average male Human and the average female Human differ by 45,500,000 base pairs.

That means that you differ more from your spouse than humans do from chimps.

Using your logic it would be difficult to believe a male is related to his mother.

If you are going to play games with numbers at least determine where those numbers are valid before proceeding.

By any measure, chimps are human's closest relatives. The difference between Humans and Chimps is less than the difference between Chimps and their second closest relatives the Gorilla.
