There is a HUGE difference in 2% of any large system.... for example, a HIGH END Sereo reciever vs a $49 boom box may have 98% identical components... but those 2% that are different cause the price to be 10 times more and produce music quality that the $49 dollar job could never accomplish.

A production crotch rocket can reach 140 MPH... while the professional racers reach 170MPH... that 30 extra MPH equates to $100,000 or more to produce vs the 7-10k for the production bike....

The reality is, a human is not a chimp, and a chimp is not a human... and while our DNA may share a LOT in terms of volume, they are basically admitting that 2% that is different makes far more than a 2% difference to the outcome.

Exactly. Humans and chimps and other mammals share a lot of things that have to be encoded in the genes: hearts, lungs, skin, brains, skeletons, embryo development, basic biochemical processing, etc. It's not the size of the genetic difference that matters, it's what you do with it!
