The big and major difference is that 4%. What the article fails to detail is that the 4% accounts for extended brain functions, speech, reasoning, etc.

Actually, the biggest differences between chimps and humans have to do with our ability to walk bipedally and also different sexual components. Also, 96% looks low to me.

I've seen the claim that in the genes it's more like 99 percent and it's when you bring in the introns and junk that it goes down to 96. Might have been on the other thread.
