[QUOTE="Loudmouth, post: 58701262, member: 11790"] "Most recent common ancestor" between species always refers to a population, not a single organism. The most recent common ancestor between me and my siblings is my parents. The most recent common ancestor between me and my cousins is the set of grandparents that we share. Surely you understand how this works? They exchange DNA between very divergent species. That is the whole point. Mammals do not. Giraffe DNA does not find it's way into the human genome. Woese correctly argues against a fixed phylogenetic tree at the trunk of life: the split between archae, prokaryotes, and eukaryotes. This in no way puts any doubt as to a common ancestor between humans and chimps. You are taking things WAY out of context. [/QUOTE]
