MississippiMan,

They want to use this theory of genetic similarity to inist a link to an ancient ape ancestor.

But how does one know that the dna they are looking at has not been altered in several way in the processes used to observe it?

Who can really say that the DNA molecules are not being altered in the process, both loosing and taking on information's that are misleading.

In other words, what they are not looking at 'real dna'. What they are looking at is some bio-chemical facsimile of dna.
