So, then, are the necessary DNA mutations considered in simple-sounding statments like "just shorten the arms and lose some hair?" (And, really, aren't there more than 5 or 6 differences between the two types of creatures?)
bone structure is quite different. it's probably easiest to see in the hips. we have wider hips, good for walking upright. chimps have taller hips, more suited to their gate.
granted, we ARE relatively close in terms of dna and somewhat in anatomy when compared to a lot of other creatures -- but it'd take a bit more than shorter arms and a shave.
