You are...

Oh? Then you need to define what an "animal" is. We are talking biology here and there is a perfectly good definitionof animal.If you are not an animal are you a fungus, a bacterium, a plant or maybe a virus? What are you?So you have a count of 62,000 differences (you didn't site a source for that but I'll take it as given, it has already been noted that they are different BPs not "sequences", apparently). You make it sound like you think that is a large number. Let's see 62,000 divided by 3,100,000,000, mmmm drop the zero's, carry something, mmmm, that comes out to, mmm don't tell me let me get it myself, uh, 6.2 divided by 310,000 which some out to about 2 divided by 100,000. Nah that can't be right. I thought we were something like 2% different from our nearest cousins. Your numbers hints at some tiny part of one percent.I guess I must misunderstand, I thought you were arguing we were a lot different from our cousins. Apparently you're data doesn't support that.
