" You don't have to be a biologist or an anthropologist to see how closely the great apes—gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans—resemble us "
Didn't read the whole article yet, but from the first sentence, let me guess --
It's about Howard Dean and JFKerry???
As much as I love Queen Vicki, she had it backward -- what's frightful and painful and disagreeable isn't how human they are; it's how simian we are.
First hijack attempt by #8?
Doesn't explain where everything else in the universe came from, but hey, you got start with something simple. Like how something with arms, legs, feet, brains, etc. can all pop out of a seed. Seems simple enough. Well, maybe not.
So why are there still Queens ?
Since we share about 98% of our DNA with chimps I guess we must be closely related.
And since we share about 30% of our DNA with a tapeworm then we must be closely related to the tapeworm, too.
We share about 30% of our DNA with mice so we must be even more closely related to mice than chimps or tapeworms or bananas or lots of other stuff.
Yep, that's really convincing evidence. </sarcasm>
If you're interested in learning about evolution, visit The List-O-Links.
If you'd like to understand the concept of speciation, visit Micro-evolution, Macro-evolution, and Speciation.
If you're serious about debating this issue, see How to argue against a scientific theory.
Well, it's still up to determine what parts of the DNA determine what. The setup of the cellular system would perhaps make for 20% shared DNA, who knows?
Your train of thought has derailed.
"Your train of thought has derailed."
Actually, mine is consistent, which is apparently more than can be said for yours.
It should have said 99% shared with mice.

infinite universes. and infinite time.
and if you need more than that to have the theories and formulas square up, just postulate more and more universes and more and more time.
And the more you postulate, the more foolish you become, and the further into the cave of denial you walk.
Try reading Genesis in the Holy Bible
So you don't know the difference between DNA and genomes.
Need more coffee.
Education too.
Fortunately, there are places things like this can be discussed without wading through this kind of crap.
Dipstick. If you knew anything about genetics you'd know that everything on the planet shares about 25 percent of its DNA. This is just more confirmation of common descent -- one of the bogeymen of the luddites.
Since we share about 98% of our DNA with chimps I guess we must be closely related.
And since we share about 30% of our DNA with a tapeworm then we must be closely related to the tapeworm, too.
We share about 30% of our DNA with mice so we must be even more closely related to mice than chimps or tapeworms or bananas or lots of other stuff. (emphasis mine)
Your math skills are as demonstrably deficient as your scientific knowledge.
98 is not equivalent to 30, and 30 is not greater than 98.
