Re: Folds, errors, etc?
Actually, it would be more accurate to say that Chimps and humans shared a common ancestor. We might not be 'chimps' but we are apes.

Re: more to it than that
The 'DNA folding' was probably actually a dna strand fusing event. We only have 23 dna strands, and Chimps have 24. However, if we analyse the
srands, there is one strand in the human geomne that is basically 2 strands in the chimp geomne that have been fused togather.
