Face it, dreamer, your so-called open-and-shut case just went up in smoke (again). And this is just the beginning. Just wait and see. Evolutionary biology is a subjective mess, and it will only get worse because God’s Creation resists evolutionary explanations (from the paper):
“Thus, in two-thirds of the cases, a genealogy results in which humans and chimpanzees are not each other’s closest genetic relatives.”
And then there is this...Take out the obligatory Darwiniac “closest living relative” faith statement, and I would say that 23% is creating splitting headaches all across the worldwide Temple of Darwin:
“For about 23% of our genome, we share no immediate genetic ancestry with our closest living relative, the chimpanzee.”
Their figure 4 still shows that humans and chimps diverged more recently than gorillas and humans or gorillas and chimps.
Your “logical impossibility” is the reality that Biologists must deal with. Humans and chimps are more closely related in DNA than either is to a gorilla.
You have yet to find a source that doesn’t end up concluding the exact same thing, as Figure 4 from your latest source shows.
