I see 25% hard genetic similarities among every living thing ... I suspect on the animal side of the lawn the similarities will be greater, more like 50%

Would you expect a tree built using some set of genes to be correlated to a tree built using some other set? Is suspect you would say no. That seems a fairly easy and definite test.

I'm not sure what the research plans are at this point; but comparing sequences would make sense.
