To put that 60% in perspective, chimpanzees, our closest living evolutionary relative, share 96% of the same genes with humans. Related: Look at these human-like chickens wearing sweaters:
One study (Takahata et al., 1995) used 15 DNA sequences from different regions of the genome from human and chimpanzee and 7 DNA sequences from human, chimpanzee and gorilla. [13] They determined that chimpanzees are more closely related to humans than gorillas.

The Chimpanzee Genome Project was an effort to determine the DNA sequence of the chimpanzee genome. Sequencing began in 2005 and by 2013 twenty-four individual chimpanzees had been sequenced. This project was folded into the Great Ape Genome Project. [1] Two juvenile central chimpanzees, the nominate subspecies
The myth of the one percent refers to the 1975 study done by Wilson and King [1] that asserted that human-chimpanzee divergence is about 1%. Humans share a common ancestor with chimpanzees, and the rapid evolution of chimpanzees and humans, along with gorillas and bonobos, has led to difficulties in creating an accurate lineage or tree topology.
It's been reported that astronaut Scott Kelly no longer has the same DNA as his twin brother after spending a year in space.
