Of course they are in our family tree random thoughts Send a noteboard - 09/06/2015 02:39:18 PM

But I think if you look that amount you are quoting is high. The 1/3 comes from a study of a limited portion of the DNA. In reality it is closer to 10-15% but that is not surprising at all. Our cells and reproduction do show similarities that imply a common ancestor. A bigger shocker would if we shared no DNA.


How society first accepted the theory really has no bearing on the validity of the theory.

Are you seriously claiming your post is motivated by science? Legolas - 05/06/2015 10:39:01 PM 707 Views
No, by hypocrites citing science as a trump card when it suits them & ignoring it on other issues Cannoli - 06/06/2015 12:33:53 AM 862 Views
If you want to accuse liberals of ignoring science there so many better examples random thoughts - 09/06/2015 04:35:58 PM 856 Views

Americas (Christian?!) "accepted religious standards" can and have been changed to vindicate robbers Joel - 15/06/2015 03:37:12 AM 736 Views
So? My point is that liberals would not allow you to teach that in a public school Cannoli - 15/06/2015 01:43:43 PM 664 Views
