Same with the chimp hemoglobin. All scientists agree that man and monkeys split off somewhere a long time ago so if both man and chimp have it, then the other apes should have it too and this does not seem to be the case from what you say.

Almost. It can also show that the mutation took place after the chimp-human line split from the rest of the anthropoids but before the chimp-human lines split from each other. It's important to note that the chimp-human mutations are in the same place in their genomes whereas the guinea pig mutation is in another place.

Nice verbal foot dance, but it does not sell. Chimps are not ancestors of humans so the only way that both chimps and humans could have the exact same gene through descent is because a prior ancestor had it. Since the prior ancestor of both chimps and humans had to have this gene all apes should have this not just chimps. That is not the case therefore this is a proof against evolution.
