Pharmboy--

do a google on deCODE Genetics. See their work on identifying 'genes'/ markers that point to a higher incidence of asthma, anxiety, obesity, etc.

This work is a combination of genome + phenome + geneology that is enabled by a quirk of Icelandic cultural behaviour - a fascination with the familiy tree.

Read (if you can stay awake) the book "Genome".

Anyway, once you get informed, you'll find that articles like the one above that try to say Chimps are nearly human really have an anthropromorphic agenda (perhaps founded on an affinity for PETA) that is not well-founded.

Believe me 12% is a HUGE difference in the sequence. You would not want to accept the outcome that your child would be born with a 0.1% difference in the parental sequence.

(Learn about haplotypes, e.g.) BTW, if you are up on all of this, please pardon me for perhaps patronizing you.

That's the second time you've done that - I'm not sure where you're getting a 12% difference from, because it's not in the article, and it's not anywhere else that I know of either. I think you'd better check that one out again.
