geez guys cmon its been scientifically proven that we came from monkeys.
Dna testing which is so accurrate its used in law .. says we are 99% same genes as a chimpanzee.
Cmon guys get out of your little "religious" not smart world and read some facts about science and true history of religion.
1. "its (sic) been scientifically proven that we came from monkeys"
100% wrong.
2. "Dna (sic) testing ... says we are 99% same genes as a chimpanzee"
Nope again.
The true genetic similarity between humans and chimps is not 99% (which is based on substitution mutations). Instead it’s about 90% when indels (insertions and deletions in the DNA sequences) are considered.
Researchers have also discovered that the gene copy number differs for human and chimp genomes. In fact, preliminary data suggests that gene copy number may differ by 6.4% between the two genomes.
Both indels and gene copy number are biologically significant, affecting gene expression.
Thus, the research reveals that humans and chimpanzees are not as genetically similar as popular myth would have us believe. If a 99% genetic similarity implies a close evolutionary relationship, what does a 90% similarity mean?

Humans and daffodils share a 35% similarity, I guess that is scientific proof we came from daffodils?
Yet another product of the public school system in the US, someone who has no clue how to think critically.
Duh, I watched Zeitgeist, I saw it on the internet, it must be true.
Sigh.
