Humans, Neanderthals share common ancestry, yet have nothing in common
after evolutionary split of two species
By Catherine Gianaro
Medical Center Public Affairs

In the most thorough study of the Neanderthal genome to date, scientists
suggest an early human-Neanderthal split. The two species have a common
ancestry but do not share much else after evolving their separate ways,
wrote the authors of a recent study that appears in the Thursday, Nov.
16 issue of Science. In addition, the authors reported no evidence of
genetic admixture between Neanderthals and humans.

94%% or 99%%?... or less or more? There seems to be little agreement
even among experts in the field.

Chimpanzee gene study may help find cures for human diseases

2006/12/22
TAIPEI, CNA

The results of a recent analysis of chimpanzee genes may be helpful in
developing cures for hepatitis B and C, as well as acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and Alzheimer's disease, sources at
Taiwan's National Health Research Institutes (NHRI) said yesterday.

The research paper was published online in November by the scientific
journal Genome Research.

The principal author, Chen Feng-chi, an assistant researcher in NHRI's
Division of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, said that humans and
chimpanzees are closely related to each other genetically and have 99
percent of genes in common. However, some diseases that are extremely
dangerous to humans have altogether no effect on chimpanzees -- and that
one percent variance may hold the key to answering such a difference.

Human-Chimpanzee Differences Are Studied
Research

A U.S. study suggests the genetic differences between chimpanzees and
humans might be much more substantial than has been thought.

Scientists at Indiana University-Bloomington have determined
approximately 6 percent of human and chimp genes are unique to each
species, taking into account a fact other genetic studies do not -- the
genes that aren't there.

Indiana University computational biologist Matthew Hahn, who led the
study with researcher Jeffery Demuth, said the study does not dispute
the commonly reported 1.5 percent nucleotide-by-nucleotide difference
between humans and chimps.

"Both estimates are correct in their own way," Hahn said. "It depends on
what you're asking. There isn't a single, standard estimate of variation
that incorporates all the ways humans, chimps and other animals can be
genetically different from each other."

Hi, Roger,

Another paranoid kook, convinced "they" are trying to cover up vital
information.

Huh?
If it's petrified, you have no idea what it is. And yet you use phrases
like "undoubtedly proves."

Meds, anyone?

I've seen some pictures of your rocks. To children, a cloud looks like
a doggy and a fishy, too.

Even if they look more convincing in real life, what makes you think
they are humans and not other hominids or upright creatures? They might
as well be aliens.
