Biblical Genetics | What is the longest match between the human and chimpanzee genomes? @biblicalgenetics8838 | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Human-chimpanzee similarity is a hotly-debated topic in the evolution-creation wars. Are we 98, 95, 90, or 85% similar? One way to get at the question is to ask what is the longest stretch of DNA that is shared between the two species. This is a very difficult question to answer! But, unperturbed, Dr Rob set out to answer it. Will our fearless hero be able to pull it off? Spoiler alert: not quite, but the path of discovery is still very interesting.
