"Did these differences between humans chimps and gorillas arise by mutation or were they designed differently from the beginning?" Oh, the fallacy of the false dilemma.
"Only if humans, chimps and gorillas had a common ancestor can one assume that these differences were due to mutations from the sequence that was present in the common ancestor."
Followed quickly by the fallacy of affirming the consequent.

It is in no way a false dilemma.
The paper that you sourced but did not understand compared the gene for p53 in eleven different species and discussed the differences.
Are those differences due to mutation?
CAN YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION?
WHY NOT????
