“No, a mouse is less a rat like creature looking at DNA, than a chimp is a human like creature; by a factor of TEN.” [excerpt]

Only because they are using chimp data fudged to look like human data.

Seriously, you have no objectivity.

The data was not “fudged”. Mouse and Rat sequence comparisons were done using the exact same methodology, and found to be TEN TIMES the genetic distance than between human and chimp.

What is the “constraint” that would stop this change in DNA that is only one tenth the distance that you would freely allow a mouse DNA to change?

Is this a human specific “constraint” that you imagine?
