Sorry. The human genome project has revealed that both humans and chimpanzees share 97.3% of their genes and that while humans have 30,000 genes, earth worms have 20,000.

Try again, genetics is more complicated than that. Geneticists will tell you how worthless that "97" number is without considering other genetic details.

LOL and Humand and Mice share 97.5% of their genes. So I guess we descended from mice instead of apes, eh?
