but if thats less than 1% different than an ape, even less different from our closest non-human relatives, and theres tons of variation in our genetic pool, how can that define our humanity?

And you do realise that 90% of DNA is reckoned to be junk (likely to be artifacts of virus DNA recombinations from our past ancestry) so that figure doesn't really say it all.
Besides, we can't interbreed with any other closely related ape so that kind answers the latter question. |
