Well that all depends on what you want to compare us to. We are most closly related to Chimpanzes and Bonobos. We share 98% of our DNA with them. Note: we did not evolve from chimps but we do share a common ancestor (the missing link you probably hear about).

Socially humans are more related to wolves, social carnivorous pack animals. Our DNA is most closely related to other primates.


Are humans related closer to snakes or worms?

Humans and chimpanzees share a much more recent common ancestor than humans and pigs. This results in humans sharing more of their genome with chimps than they do with pigs. Even though a human's genetic code is more like a chimp's than it is like a pig's, all eukaryotic organisms share a significant amount of genetic code, vertebrates share even more, and mammals share even more than that; a human's DNA more closely resembles a pig's than it does a lizard's, and it more closely resembles a lizard's than it does a bacterium's.


Are bats more closely related to honeybees than to humans?

Nope. Bats and Humans are phyylum Chordata *i.e. we have spinal chords). Bees on the other hand are phylum Insecta. Humans and bats are lots closer.


What is the 3 closest animals to humans alive?

The most closely related extant animals to humans are chimpanzees and bonobos. These are equally closely related to us, as they share a common ancestor together more recently (~1 million years ago) than they share a common ancestor with humans (~6-7 million years ago). The various gorilla species are the next most closely related to humans, sharing a common ancestor with humans, chimps and bonobos ~10-12 million years ago.

Lupus is an autoimmune disorder. Tuberculosis is an infection. People with lupus often take immunosuppressive medications that may make them more vulnerable to tuberculosis, but the two are not related.

Can you be a carrier of lupus?

Lupus is not directly hereditary, however predisposition to developing autoimmunity is more likely in people who are related. Lupus is not contagious. For these two reasons, a person cannot be a lupus carrier. A person can be genetically predisposed to develop lupus but the disease may never develop.

Are humans and horses slash zebras related?

From an evolutionary perspective, all mammals are related, so yes, humans and horses or zebras are related, although not closely; humans are much more closely related to the great apes (gorillas, bonobos, chimpanzees, and orangutans). From a creationist perspective, humans and horses are not related.
