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.

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 889 Views
If you want to accuse liberals of ignoring science there so many better examples random thoughts - 09/06/2015 04:35:58 PM 884 Views

Americas (Christian?!) "accepted religious standards" can and have been changed to vindicate robbers Joel - 15/06/2015 03:37:12 AM 780 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 690 Views
