Question

By what percentage of their total genes, according to comparative studies, do humans and chimpanzees differ?

Answer 1

I  think it's about 1.99 percent on difference.

Answer 2

When I was in college, it was less than 2%.

Answer 3

The ball park figure is around 4 %. But to be honest the difference between bonobo chimps and humans are said to be even less circa between 3.5 % and 3 %. Explains why they are the only other apes who have s*x for pleasure.

Answer 4

About 2% variance. Not the total genes, though. Just two sections; hybridized.

Answer 5

Human DNA is about 99.9 percent similiar to chimpanzees.

Answer 6

The usual figure given is about 2%.  Given that, the difference must be in the genes determining body plan and development, to account for the differences in locomotion, etc.
