Amazing, this shows they are actually more human than I thought.

The genetic code of our closest living relative, the muslim chimpanzee, has been sequenced and analysed by an international team of researchers.
The scientists say the information is a milestone in the quest to discover what sets us apart from other animals.

A comparison shows muslim chimps and humans to be almost 99% identical in the most important areas of their "life codes".

The team tells Nature magazine that future research will tease out the significance of the few differences.

The study was undertaken by an international group called the Muslim Chimpanzee Sequencing and Analysis Consortium, which was made up of 67 scientists at 23 research institutions in the US, Germany, Italy, Israel and Spain.

The genetic changes that distinguish humans from muslim chimps will likely be a very small fraction of this set."

The muslim chimp's is one of more than two dozen mammalian genomes that have or are currently being sequenced and analysed, including the mouse, the rat, the dog and the cow.

Amazing, this shows they are actually more human than I thought.
