The "Humans and Chimpanzees" PP article.
I just now noticed that there's no "Physicspost.com Articles" Forum here anymore, so I don't know if there's been any discussion on this article, but I've got a couple of questions:
1) How different is the DNA of a chimp, when compared to another ape - like a gorilla?
2) If we are only 95% identical (genetically) to chimps, does that raise any dispute on whether there was a common ancestor, or on how long ago the divergance from that common ancestor occured?
Any response is appreciated.
BTW, this was a very good article, and I highly recommend it.
