  2. Wild chimpanzees adapt genetically to different habitats - AOL

    www.aol.com/news/wild-chimpanzees-adapt...

    Chimpanzees, and the closely related bonobos, are the species nearest genetically to humans, sharing about 98.8% of our DNA. The human and chimpanzee evolutionary lineages split about 6.9 million ...

  3. Human evolutionary genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolutionary_genetics

    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.

    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:

  5. The Myth of the One Percent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_of_the_One_Percent

    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.

  6. Human genetic variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetic_variation

    The human genome has a total length of approximately 3.2 billion base pairs (bp) in 46 chromosomes of DNA as well as slightly under 17,000 bp DNA in cellular mitochondria. In 2015, the typical difference between an individual's genome and the reference genome was estimated at 20 million base pairs (or 0.6% of the total). [ 2 ]

    With the sequencing of both the human and chimpanzee genome, as of 2012 estimates of the similarity between their DNA sequences range between 95% and 99%. [ 268 ] [ 269 ] [ 31 ] It is also noteworthy that mice share around 97.5% of their working DNA with humans. [ 270 ]

  9. Chimpanzee genome project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimpanzee_Genome_Project

    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
