So are we 96% chimp or are Chimps 96% Human?

cientists unleashed a torrent of studies comparing the genetic coding for humans and chimpanzees on Wednesday, reporting that 96 percent of our DNA sequences are identical. Even more intriguingly, the other 4 percent appears to contain clues to how we became different from our closest relatives in the animal kingdom, they said.

"We're really looking at an individual evolutionary event, and this is spectacular," said University of Washington geneticist Robert Waterston, senior author of a study in the journal Nature presenting the draft of the chimpanzee genome.

The achievement should lead to discoveries with implications for human health, including new approaches to treating age-old diseases, said Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute.

judging by the events transpiring in NO, we are 96% chimp....

dude. there is no relationship as evidenced by big bad buff's comment:

good questions to be debated
1.If we did evolve from monkeys then how come babies arent born monkeys
4.how come we cant speak monkey

This is only shocking to those unfamiliar with genetics and molecular cell biology.

Most mammals are more than 90% identical or something along those lines. The characteristics of people and animals that appear relevant in our human subjective perception only consider a very limited part of an organism.

Shut up..you're ruining my fun with the fundies.

I thought it was 98% but who is counting. Discovery Channel had something on this.

That was before the genome mapping.

judging by Wodin's body hair and odor, i'd guesstimate he's tipping the scales at 99%

Makes sense.

For the last time I shave all my shit off and I use axe body spray. I get all the female silver backs up in my grib.

Does it matter is we are 96% or them or them 96% of us? Humans are just another type of animal. The only difference is a more highly developed frontal lobe.

The chimps disowned us by 2% for being so anal about it.
