How do you actually know this? Where can I read the journal article
that established this.

I have no doubt that our genes are 95% or something similar to apes.
But a PHD geneticist at http://www.icr.org said
that a watermelon, jellyfish and a cloud all consist of 98% water -
yet they did not derive from a common ancestor.
He said he found this 98% chimp similarity quote "amusing".
