You can decide for yourself if you think they belong in the same genus as humans.
Probably not....there aren't such things as genuses.:rolleyes:
For fun, I asked one of our grad students, who's in primate studies about the percentage, and the genus designation. His response is basically this:
"As a comparision, there are three species of elephant, African,
African Jungle (which until recently was just considered the same as an
African) and indian. They are about as genetically similar as chimps humans
and bonobos and yet most people can't tell the difference. The fun part is
that tradition in cladistics is that when you merge two groups the oldest
designation stays the same so the reality is it should be pan sapiens not
homo troglodytes. Owen of course is still just a dog."
(I love how he worked owen into the discussion...)
Have you noticed that lotrfreak hasn't posted since we gave her what she wanted?
Nice Owen reference....I'm impressed!:)
I'm pleased with the owen reference too.
The grad students try to work him in to classroom discussions too, much to the amazment of the other profs.
first of all, I only have an hour a day on the internet, and I had already used it all up before you posted. Second of all, my time ends at 9:00pm, so even if I hadn't used all my time, I couldn't get on.
I was actually going to say the same thing lol :p ;)Quote:

If I am correct, you have 65 posts. That is a good amount. Out of those 65 posts, 8 of them are posts in other threads outside of "evoloution is bogus". This is a pet/animal board...don't you think the bigger chunk of your posts should be about pets/animals!?
This is the only thread you constantly post in. It doesn't make sense to come on a pet board and make a thread about evolution, asking people to prove you wrong, and when they do you get upset.
Sing along with me people:Quote:

I feel better now.
So now you are telling me where to post? Like I said I only have an hour a day. I have to read all of this stuff and post. There goes my one hour,. At the beginning of this thread you thought it funny that i was gone for most of the debate. Now you want me to not be here for most of the debate. hmmmm
Yes, we're telling you where to post.Quote:

You wanted proof, we gave it to you and now you ignore it....as you would say...hmmmmm.....
