the findings of a recent study show that the human genome contains very little unique in the line of genes...evidence that we are indeed animals, specifically mammals, more specifically great apes...
From the article:
"Green said he and his colleagues were surprised by their findings. "It seems like not a lot of the genome is uniquely human," he said. They were also surprised that most of the genes within that 1.5% to 7% portion were "genes that we know and recognize," — largely coding for proteins known to be involved in brain development and function — rather than genetic material that isn't known to have a specific function."
