Everyone knows that
humans are supposedly evolved for apes, but prior to last Friday, it was believed
that humans are most closely related to chimpanzees. Researchers have recently
completed the genome sequence for the gorilla, which is the last of the living great
apes to have its genome decodes. Now for the first time, scientists have been
able to compare the genomes of the four great apes: humans, chimpanzees, gorillas
and orangutans. This study shows that humans are actually more closely related
to gorillas than any other ape.
I had no idea that they just found this out. Pretty interesting stuff.
