That's what the scientists say.  That Chimps are the closest relative to humans in the animal kingdom, separated by only 4% of the genetic code.

Some dumb book told me it was two naked people in a jungle who first fucked because one of them got the idea from a snake.

Yes I believe that is true.

Yes.





You realize you share something like 40% of your genetic information with a carrot?





Common descent of all known life on earth FTMFW!

The alternative is that I believe that all geneticists got together and decided it would really funny to tell this joke for years on end. Also, every new scientist in the field has luckily agreed to keep the gag running.

Some are a lot closer than that. And they get elected too!

Why would you think this is shocking?  Clearly a few percent differences in DNA code makes a huge difference in outcome.

What's so bizarre about that?

Have you seen how messed up humans get when just 0.001% of their genetic information changes?

That a completely different species is another 4,000 times removed (or more) really shouldn't come as a great shock.

I think some humans have more in common with gorillas than chimps.

Watch video of a chimp raid frenzy on another group, watch a video of a mob robbery.

You DO realize that genetic code works on the most basic level, right? Most of that code is for the most basic of cell and protein structures, and a lot of it is junk.

Also, its interesting that humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and other apes have 24.



We now know that one of our pairs was formed by the fusion of two pairs, since this chromosome has two sets of centromeres and telomeres.



Science bitches, it works!

Do you think that humans require oxygen to breathe?   That's what the scientists say but I don't know.   The bible doesn't mention oxygen so I don't know what to do.

Tax the Chimps.

96% of the human rate.

Close enough. I believe there was a time in my life where I've actually tried to mate with a few after more than a few beers and way too late in the evenings.

You actually don't require oxygen to breathe.

Automatic respiration is driven by CO2 concentration in the lungs, so increasing the CO2 concentration will make you breathe faster.

You can also breathe manually.


Which you are doing right now.



But you do need oxygen to keep on breathing for more than about a minute or two.

It's a meaningless comparison. Lots of things in the human body need to be the same as they are in animals. Besides, college is for chumps.

people who think that science has a hammerlock on 'the truth" do not understand the scientific method

people who think that science answers metaphysical questions do not understand the scientific method

so those two concepts will eliminate about 99.9% of the people about to dogpile this thread


the sophistication of the answers provided by the scientific method are limited by the sophistication of the testing method

everything else is mere speculation

the end
