Moreover the comparison is GENETIC DNA. Howard Bell implies that this is a genome wide comparison. A genome wide comparison would be a GREATER than 15% difference, most certainly not a 2% difference.
Perhaps Howard Bell was confused because we share 99% of the same genes. That is NOT saying that the genes themselves are 99 or 98% the same, just that if you find a particular copy of a gene in a human you are 99% likely to find the same gene (and those genes will be 85% exactly the same).
Point conceded. Thank you for the education.
