Humans share about 85 of their DNA with mice.
Humans share approximately 98-99 of their DNA with apes.
No, that is a common misconception. We didn't evolve directly from monkeys, but we do share a common ancestor with monkeys. We also share many similarities with them, the first being we are both primates. Humans not only share a common ancestor with monkeys, but with every single organism on Earth. While humans and plants may not seem to have anything in common, we share a common ancestor with them that dates back billions of years. Humans evolved from prehistoric apes a few million years ago, who were much like modern apes, but not exactly. Unlike any other primate alive today, these apes began to walk upright. This evolutionary milestone would help pave the way for future human evolution.
Humans and slugs have a very low level of genetic similarity due to a common evolutionary ancestor millions of years ago. The DNA shared between humans and slugs is estimated to be around 70% identical.
Gorillas share about 98 of their DNA with humans.
Humans share about 1-2 of their DNA with bacteria.
Humans share approximately 98-99 of their DNA with monkeys.

Apes are so much stronger than humans because of the conditions they need to live in. Apes may often live in trees and need incredible strength to climb. They also need that strength to fight of animals larger than them.
Humans share approximately 98 of their DNA with gorillas.
Humans and fruit flies share about 60% of their DNA sequences due to similarities in genetic makeup dating back to a common ancestor. However, the functions and organization of these shared genes can differ significantly between the two species.
Some believe wolves share a commonancestor, much like humans and primates.
All living creatures on earth share some amount of DNA, including mammals, reptiles, fish, plants, sea sponges, bacteria, and viruses. Humans share much more DNA with mammals than any other creature. And we share more DNA with lizards than we do fish. This is because mammals split off from the mammal-lizard common ancestor long after the fish-amphibian common ancestor. Humans share as much as 50% of genes with plants, so our relatedness to nuts is around this figure. It is interesting to note that researchers have found various genes associated with human ailments in different creatures. For instance, the gene connected to deafness has been found in some plants.
