The concluding result of the Chimpanzee and Human Genome project was that human locus contains approximately 150 thousand "additional" base pairs NOT found in chimpanzee chromosome 12 and 13, also known as 2A and 2B. A fusion event would not result in more informational DNA out of thin air, therefore a fusion event could not have occurred. There are millions of DNA differences between humans and chimpanzees, and with further analysis making it even more clear that we are not related. In the Y chromosome alone, chimps have only two-thirds as many distinct genes or gene families as humans. Also, more than 30% of the chimp Y chromosome lacks an align-able counterpart on the human Y chromosome and vice versa. Ironically the Genome project only demonstrated how much more different humans are to apes even down to the finite level of DNA.

DNA is essentially the basic and fundamental building blocks found in ALL life and ALL creatures share a large percent of DNA with each other on a base level. Since DNA codes for structures and biochemical molecules, we should expect the most similar creatures to have the most similar DNA. Apes and humans are both mammals, with similar shapes, so both have similar DNA.

An Evolutionist will proclaim that Humans share anywhere from 85-95% of an ape's DNA, but we also share 75% of our DNA with a dog and 50% with banana fruit. The Center for Advancement of Genomics and the Institute for Genomic Research analysis showed that for 75% of known human genes, lengths of DNA that provide the building instructions for proteins, there is an equivalent dog gene. A total of 18,473 of the known 24,567 human genes had a canine version.

The fundamental problem is that no Evolutionist can site a single example of a genetic mutation or evolutionary process that increases the the information in the genome. That in itself is an insurmountable show stopper against the very core of Evolution. The very sad part about dealing with Evolutionary converts is most of the time they are repetitively posting information that has long been dissolved; a DNA fusion event being one of them.

Yes - about 10 million years ago ... when none of the three existed.

How is a chimpanzee like a gorilla?

They are both apes, and along with humans, monkeys, and lemurs, they are both primates.


What is gorilla useful to?

Gorillas are useful towards us humans because it gives us an idea on our ancestry.


What are facts about apes?

Apes are primates, related to humans, monkeys and lemurs. The species of ape are the gorilla, gibbon, chimpanzee, and orangutan.


Why humans seem to have much less hair than the gorilla or chimpanzee?

Because - over many thousands of years, humans evolved the intelligencce to learn how to build more permanent shelters that developed into insulated homes. This reduced the need for a thick coat of fur, so successive generations had less dense hair. Today, our body hair is much thinner than our chimpanzee 'cousins'.


What ten animals are closely related to humans?

The ten animals closely related to humans are (in order of their relation): The Following are members of the Great Apes: 1. The Common Chimpanzee (Pan Ttroglodytes), 2. The Bonobo Chimpanzee (Pan Paniscus), 3. The Western Gorilla (Gorilla Gorilla), 4. The Eastern Gorilla (Gorilla Beringei), 5. The Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo Abelii), 6. The Bornean Orangutan (Pongo Pygmaeus). The gibbons are known as the lesser apes, I'll just name one: 7. The Lar Gibbon (Hylobatidae Lar). It's impossible to say the next closest animals, as they would be the Old World Monkeys (Macques, Baboons etc), which branched off from the Apes thousands of years ago.

What animals are in the same family as humans?

Humans are in the category of the great apes. Current living species include the Gorilla, Chimpanzee, Orangutan, and the Bonobo, as well as Humans. There are currently 5 separate classifications of Gorilla, 4 of Chimpanzee 2 of Orangutan, and one each of the Bonobo and Human.


What is a hogopan?

A hogopan is the nickname of the last common ancestor of HOmo (humans), GOrilla, and and PANiscus (monkeys)


Who are my relatives?

We can't answer this question more specifically given that you are anonymous. However, all humans had a common ancestor c. 100,000 years ago. Their next closest relatives are the chimpanzee and the bonobo, which split off from humans c. 5 million years ago and from one another c. 1.5 million years ago. In descending order of relatedness after the chimpanzee are the gorilla, the orangutan, the gibbons, Old World monkeys and New World monkeys. These are your relatives.

What is a large ape?

There are three perfectly reasonable answers to this question.A Gorilla (Genus Gorilla) - Gorillas are exclusive to Africa, and are the largest of all primatesA Chimpanzee (Genus Pan) - Chimpanzees are also primates exclusive to Africa, and the common Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) can weigh in at 140 pounds and reach 5'3" in height, which is fairly big.Humans (Homo sapiens) are primates, inhabit Africa, and (as far as the fossil record has been able to determine) originate in Africa. Although humans aren't as massive as gorillas, they still qualify as being pretty darn big primates.Of course, if you just wanted to know the largest African primate, that would be the Eastern Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla beringei graueri), which has been recorded at 860 pounds.
