Man and Ape DNA not as close as some think?

[Xaero]

I posted this research paper a week before, but a mod censored it. I guessed the quote contained to much offensive language for this forum, so now i cut off some of the quote:

Our results imply that humans and chimpanzees differ by at least 6% (1,418 of 22,000 genes) in their complement of genes, which stands in stark contrast to the oft-cited 1.5% difference between orthologous nucleotide sequences.

This recent paper sets the speciation time to 4.1 +- 0.4 million years:

Please see this as a fellowship post, because an earlier speciation time is in favor of some young earthers, i.e. Mark Kennedy ...

Xaero,

Grace to you and peace through or Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I traced the above quote back to this blog spot and it is remakably supportive of my personal views

"The researchers paid special attention to gene number changes between humans and chimps. Using a statistical method they devised, the scientists inferred humans have gained 689 genes (through the duplication of existing genes) and lost 86 genes since diverging from their most recent common ancestor with chimps. Including the 729 genes chimps appear to have lost since their divergence, the total gene differences between humans and chimps was estimated to be about 6 percent."

That, if it turns out to be supported in the scientific literature, is perhaps the most important referance I have found in nearly a year. I really don't know why it was posted here but I really appreciate it.

Thank you Xaero, I'll let you know if this turns out to be as signifigant as it appears at first glance.

Grace and peace,
Mark
