Suggested experiment for the evolutionary biologists... Measure the genetic diversity of fishes and sea creatures and compare those differences to the chimp and human differences.

There's a problem with this experiment... fish genetics can't be extrapolated to mammal genetics.

For example, hybrization appears much more frequently among fish in nature, than it does with mammals. Also, in captivity, fertile hybrids occur between related species, and hybridization even takes place between different genera. Not so with mammals.

If you have to have mammals test the sea mammals such as whales,pinnipeds, seals, sea Lions and walruses, etc.
