    Yes, they are. SAM is trying to misrepresent my point.

    The main argument I can see is one of time. i.e about 6 million years of separation from gorillas and a and 6 million years since chimps and humans branched off.

    But thats assuming linear evolution and the necessity of linear differences in time/DNA similarity.

    In fact, its the paper that supports it!!!1 :runaway:

    Duh, I looked up the actual paper



    “Implications of natural selection in shaping 99.4% nonsynonymous DNA identity between humans and chimpanzees: Enlarging genus Homo” by Derek E. Wildman, Monica Uddin, Guozhen Liu, Lawrence I. Grossman, and Morris Goodman, PNAS 2003 100: 7181-7188; published online before print as 10.1073/pnas.1232172100

    Well, I suppose it's not Litoria nasuta since it's called the Striped Rocket Frog..

    Do you see mine? Or are you using anatomical differences as an argument? Whats the behavioural differences between Jetpack, Rocket pack and MacPack?

    Probably. But i suggest you start your own thread on that. Would be a nice one

    No, you were using anatomical differences as an argument against Chimps and Bonobo's belonging in the same Genus as us. I'm just showing you are wrong.

    I'm guessing the MacPack is too fat to take off ?

    I'm saying it doesn't matter if you are white, black, yellow or red [tall short fat thin]so long as I take one look at you and say FROG!

    So you look at a chimp and think Homo?

    :roflmao:

    Depends.. I'd size him up first, to see if I can take him. I wouldn't want to get beat up

    But AGAIN, looks are unimportant. It's the genetics that link species together, not looks (frog example).
