Human Chimp Genome Similarity

[Swamidass (Peaceful Science)]

@glipsnort

There was nothing in the data available 10 years ago that would lead to your stated conclusions.

I agree.

@glipsnort

As I noted above, there was never 24% of the human genome that does not line up with the chimpanzee genome; most of that 24% represents DNA we never assembled in the chimp genome, so there was no comparison to be made.

I agree.

@glipsnort

Who were the scientists who argued that this was junk DNA?

No one made that claim regarding the non-aligned portions.
