I reckon you share about 33% of your DNA with a turnip.

Do I believe that that factually happened, as described in the Book of Genesis? No. That's a parable, not history.

Genetically, we share more than 98 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees and bonobos. From this perspective, chimpanzees are mostly human and vice versa.

Actually, it's 98.8 percent. And after listening to some here, it could even be higher for some. Sorry, not sorry.

We share 99.9% identical DNA with each other. This is a statistic which I find astonishing, especially considering how different we are from each other.

Some might say “thank goodness for the decimal point!”
