[QUOTE="tas8831, post: 73241001, member: 397968"] An Italian creationist group did some basic DNA comparisons a few years back, attempting to show that the human-chimp DNA difference is larger than claimed. They produced some kind of extrapolatory algorithm (i made that phrase up!) in which they took the % differences on a segment of DNA of X-length, then extrapolated that out to megabase length (or something to this effect, I forget the specifics). This method showed that humans and chimps differed by like 10% or something, and thus was too much to be accounted for by evolution. But they made one little mistake - they included a pair of humans in their analysis, and their method showed that any 2 humans would differ by ~5%, a divergence level that creationists were generally claiming at that time proved humans and chimps could not be related. I note that the graph showing this had been removed from their website several years ago. [/QUOTE]
