How similar are we to Chimpanzees?
Humans and Chimpanzees share 98.5% similar DNA. Although scientists have been able to see where exactly the DNA differs now, and there is additional DNA in each species that isn't found in the other that makes it up to about 6% difference. There is some genetic material, such as making certain proteins, that one can do and the other can't, and vice versa.
Since the two species branched away from each other around 5 million years, enough mutations have occurred to create the noticable differences, but as said, much of the DNA remains similar. Behavior wise, there are many similarities, starting with aggression: chimps, gorillas and humans will all kill their own species. Chimps can use tools.
They can communicate using hand gestures, noises, and facial expressions. They have even been known to mourn, to appreciate a beautiful site like a sunset over a lake, and cradle rocks and sticks as if they were baby dolls, as with humans. They may even be able to laugh.
Ok seriously where'd you get this one from. Many blessings.
Nothing. People are not, never were, and never will be similiar to animals..Evolution is a stupid theory, not even a science. Everything was created for someone.
Even a senior Science Programmer and adept of modern science like me have to say this:Nothing appears from nothing, all needs a designerCheers.
The DNA sequences of humans and chimpanzees are 98.5 percent identical, but now Uppsala University researchers can show that parts of the genetic material are missing in one species or the other. This means in some cases that humans can produce a protein that the chimpanzee lacks and vice versa. The study, being published in the November issue of the Journal of Molecular Evolution, estimates that the total variation between humans and chimpanzees is rather 6-7 percent.
The chimpanzee, together with the pygmy chimpanzee (the bonobo), is the closest relative to humans still in existence. Even though the similarities between chimpanzees and human are obvious, there are clear differences in body structure, intellect, and behavior, etc. In the more than five million years that have passed since the developmental lines of humans and chimpanzees parted, mutations have altered the genes. A key issue for researchers studying the evolutionary history of humans and chimpanzees is to understand which of these differences have been crucial to the development of the species and their unique characteristics.
Tomas Bergstrm and his research team at the Department of Genetics and Pathology have compared the DNA sequence from chromosome 21 in humans and chimpanzees to map where the genetic differences are found and what significance this might have. The findings corroborate other studies that indicate that in 1.5 percent of the genetic material a nucleotide (genetic letter) has been replaced by another nucleotide. But the findings also show that more than 5 percent of the genetic material occurs in only one of the species.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
