What is Humanism?Chimpanzees
 Chimpanzees are our closest relatives, 99.4% of our DNA is identical to them. Genetic studies show humans and chimpanzees shared a common ancestor that lived in the African rainforest 7-8 million years ago. The descendants of this common ancestor split into two lineages - one that led to chimps and another that led to us. Chimpanzees are more human-like than you think. They can remember and respond to basic English words, solves puzzles and display many human behaviors. To the right are some video examples. |
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and all other Great Apes have 24 pairs. If evolution is true, where did the missing pair go? The answer is in our chromosome #2. The human chromosome #2 is created by the fusion of 2 primate chromosomes. It resulted in the head to head collision of two chromosomes that remain separate in other primates.
Chromosomes have 2 telomeres, one at each end and a centromere in the middle. Our chromosome #2 was fused at the ends so it has telomeres at each and also in the middle.
