Are there mutations that apes have that humans don't have?

This is one of those questions from creationists that I don't understand.

I think most folks use the term to mean something very different, rather than just different. My nose doesn't look like your nose, but that's not a mutation. But if I have sickle cell, I have a "mutation".

So if you mean is there something very different between apes and men, the answer is yes. Once the ape genomes are completed and compared against the human genome, there should be a very good list of differences.

Of course it'll be awhile before the genes are identified and we're going to have to wait it out.
