I couldn't find the figures for man vs. mouse, but rabbits' DNA is 33% different from humans, or 15 times or so more than chimps. IIRC mice are in that ballpark.Humans and chimps share more than 98 percent of their DNA, so a few genes must make a big difference.
Another 1% difference and you are a mouse From mice to men
Hmmm? Humans, chimps, and mice whom are more closely related?
Taxonomy, Transitional Forms, and the Fossil Record.
The Miacids in turn are very similar to the earliest representatives of the Families Canidae (dogs) and Mustelidae (weasels), both of Superfamily Arctoidea, and the Family Viverridae (civets) of the Superfamily Aeluroidea. As Romer (1966) states in Vertebrate Paleontology (p. 232), "Were we living at the beginning of the Oligocene, we should probably consider all these small carnivores as members of a single family." This statement also illustrates the point that the erection of a higher taxon is done in retrospect, after sufficient divergence has occurred to give particular traits significance.
Way to go girl!
Yes but we share just about the exact same genes with the fugu fish:
Over 30,000 Fugu genes have been identified in our analysis. The great majority of human genes have counterparts in Fugu, and vice versa, with notable exceptions including genes of the immune system,

Who would have thunk we really are closer to fish than to rabbits! Seems evolutionists need to start redrawing them trees!
