The common quote is 98.5% genetic relatedness between humans and chimps. This is based on the shear number of similar genes. However, this number does not take into account gene duplication and the specific proteins produced by these similar genes. If these are accounted for, the number is more like 94%. Despite this, chimps are still our closest living relatives.
See the links below for the more accurate figure.
Our DNA Is Only 1% Different From A Chimpanzee
Scientists believe that over 90% of our DNA is similar that of a chimpanzee.
the percentage is 45%
It's thought to be about 5 to 7 million years since humans and chimps shared a common ancestor.
Our DNA is about 98-99% similar to Chimps
The difference is about 1.9% between humans and chimps.
They have adapted to different ways of life. Chimps are adapted to living in tress & are herbivores, but humans are adapted to walking on the ground and are omnivores.
Humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor, so their DNA is similar due to this evolutionary relationship. The similarities in DNA reflect the genetic inheritance passed down from their shared ancestor, with only small differences accumulated over time. These similarities show how closely related humans and chimpanzees are in the evolutionary tree.
Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees, rather both humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor. A division happened with this common ancestor....some went on to become chimpanzees and some went on to become modern humans. There are common ancestors to both humans and chimps, but they are long extinct.
No. Both groups evolved from a common ancestor, which was neither a chimp nor a human.
No, they aren't. Animals are animals, humans are humans. ------------- At some point, there must have been a common ancestor, but in modern times they are separate species.
Chimpanzees are genetically closer to humans than orangutans. DNA analysis shows that humans share about 98% of their DNA with chimpanzees, while orangutans share about 96%. This genetic similarity suggests a closer evolutionary relationship between humans and chimpanzees.
You can see that chimps are related to humans from DNA. We share about 98% of the nucleotides with chimps. The ERV's between chimps and humans are reverse transcripted into both creatures in the same spots and that is not plausible by anything but a relationship with them. The Chromosomes are identical except for chromosome #2 in humans and that shows a fusion of two chromosomes from our ancestors. Chimps along with all of our primate cousins are going extinct. Like in comparative morphology, comparative genomics shows that in the nested hierarchies, chimps have the most homologies and the fewest differences in a nucleotide by nucleotide comparison of the genome.
not excatly!but we are cousinsof them.
like a humans
