Humans And Other Species

It is believed in the scientific world that the origin of life came from a L.U.C.A. Well, at least for the animal kingdom. Therefore, it is same to assume that someone animals have some similarities between them. For example: Humans are ninety-eight percent similiar to chimpanzees. For instance, humans have 23 chromosomes. Chimpanzees have 24 chromosomes. The reasons for this is chromosome 2 of the human genome. Chromosome 2 is particularly very large in size. This is because some where along the line two chromosomes combined together to form the big chromosome 2. Sure, it does not seem like humans and chimpanzees are related because of the outer looks. Chimpanzees are hairer, have a different shaped body, have different habits, and just look different. It seems that nothing is similar, but if u look at the genome of both races then you will not seem much difference. We are just that much alike and different.
