Are you blind? Tree C has humans and gorillas together and the chimps as the odd man out. Only the dotted green line has humans as the odd man out.

If you look at their Figure 5 you will see the proportion of red, green and blue for the sequences they tested. Red is the color that you see, with a bit of green and blue.

Red = (H*C)G, Green = H(C*G), Blue = (H*G)C

If you look at their Table 2 you will find that 76.58% of the sequence supported humans and chimps being closest (red), only 11.46% supported chimps and gorillas being closest (green), and 11.39% supported humans and gorillas being closest (blue).

Also this places 98% of the DNA they tested supporting tree’s that put chimps humans and gorillas all closer to each other than any is to an orangutan or a monkey.

Clearly your ‘similar body plan = similar DNA” is what is not just sinking but sunk. It never did hold water.

Do you really not see what is obvious to anyone who is not blinded by blind evolution?!?!

In the case of the dotted genetic tree in A, chimps and apes diverged from each other, whereas humans diverged from the common ancestor of all three. In Tree C, apes and humans should be closer to each other. Thus, the Evos cannot make up their mind who came from who, which means your open-and-shut case supposedly establishing a clear lineage from the great apes to humans is about as supportable as the cheerios man with no cheerios.
