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.
Can liberals all stop their posturing about adhering to science?
