I beg pardon for your migraine, emerald. obviously I was unclear with my point I was making about oppossums and sharks. But I hate to repeat myself, so I will not.
I would just like to toss in a couple facts to help along both sides of the arguement and not further express my opinion since that would be repeating myself.
at last calculation, chimpanzee (particularly Bonobo Chimpanzees) DNA matched that of a human with 98.2% accuracy.
bearing in mind, however, that a common housecat's DNA matches that of a human with 89.7% accuracy (mammalian, but not closely related to simian life-forms) An Aligator's DNA matches a humans at somewhere in the neighborhood of 72% (not closely related to mammalian life forms at all).
