A team of international researchers from Germany, the Netherlands and San Diego may have shed light on why chimps and humans are so genetically similar (nearly 99 percent of shared DNA sequences), and yet so mentally different.
Too bad more people don't keep it in mind that it's the difference that makes the difference. In terms of functionally equivalent parts a Corvair and a Mercedes are virtually identical.

Corvair and a Mercedes are virtually identical. I think I'd say a Chevy II or Vega and a Mercedes, the Corvair was pretty wierd, but fun to drive, actually functionally much like a VW Beetle, which is what it was trying to compete with.
