One last thing; did you know that the cyctochrome C sequences (cytochrome C is a protein involved in cellular metabolism, FYI, and is present in most organisms) in bacterium are more closely related to us than those of a Rhesus monkey (bacterium: 65%; Rhesus monkey: 1%)?

Lie. These are the amino acid sequences for cytochrome c, taken from the National Center for Bioinformatics database. Macaca mulatta is the rhesus monkey.

Do those look 1% related to you?

And I suppose that's ALL of the amino acids?
