"I would expect that in liberal academia there is a Mapes/Rather team manipulating the numbers to get the desired result. That we should be more related to Bonobos than the Chimpanzee is like saying a peach is more closely related to a Red Delicious than a Macintosh. That we share evolution with the apes is obvious, to claim we share it with one subspecies of ape is ridiculous."

The molecular evidence shows we diverged from Bonobos after we diverged from Pan troglodytes. This means we are more closely related to Bonobos.

By the way, your attempt at ridicule will not accomplish much unless it is meant to make you look arrogant.

Got a cite for that? What I've read says the bonobo-chimp branch was shortly after their common ancestor diverged from the human line.

You mean, "The (fudged) molecular evidence..."
I take it you couldn't find the Generic & specific for bonobos?

Really??? I never heard of that. Do you have a cite?
