Research in molecular biology points to significant genetic differences between humans and chimpanzees.
Are humans and chimpanzees similar? Research in molecular biology points to genetic differences between the two that are too great to explain that humans evolved. And scholars reveal that studies conducted by evolutionists on the similarity of human and chimpanzee genetic DNA conceal a surprising truth.
Thomas Seiler, a physicist at the Technical University of Munich in Germany, revealed in a speech on World Youth Day 2016 that evolutionists have not only failed to obtain evidence of evolution from molecular biology, but have instead found examples that show the evolutionary hypothesis is wrong.
Dr. Seiler said, “Most of us have heard that chimpanzees and humans are 99 percent genetically similar. In fact, those people don’t tell us that this result is not derived from comparing all DNA, but simply based on the results of a test with such a small percentage of 3% DNA. 97% of the DNA genetic code functions in a way that we don’t know.”
Huge genetic differences between humans and chimpanzees
Dr. Seiler emphasized that according to a 2010 report analyzing chromosomal differences between chimpanzees and humans published in the leading academic journal Nature, only 40% of the Y chromosome components that determine the sex of life are identical between the two, and the remaining 60% are different. So how can evolutionists conclude that humans evolved from these animals based on such large differences?
Although Darwinists often say that human DNA is very similar to that of chimpanzees, differing by a mere 1%. In reality, this claim is itself a one-sided argument. The argument for claiming a 1% DNA difference dates back to 1975. At that time, researchers used a pre-screened section of chimpanzee DNA crossed with human ones to speculate on similarity.
Jeffrey Tomkins, Ph.D., former director of the Bioinformatics Department at Clemson University Genome Institute (CUGI), and Jerry Bergman, Ph.D., analyzed the research literature in 2012 and stated, “The human and chimpanzee genomes are no more than 87% or even 81% similar.”
In other words, the genetic differences between humans and chimpanzees are enormous, likely more than 19%, and the degree of variation can be as high as 30%. In particular, the Y chromosomes of men and male chimpanzees are extremely different, a result that is the exact opposite of what evolutionists would like to see.
Significant genetic differences
According to David DeWitt, a biologist at Liberty University in Virginia, the differences between humans and chimpanzees are too great. For example, humans have 23 pairs (46) of chromosomes with telomere DNA of 10K base pairs, while chimpanzees have 24 pairs (48) of chromosomes with telomere DNA of 23K base pairs.
The differences between chromosome pairs 4, 9 and 12 are so pronounced that evolutionists believe that “recombination of genetic material” (remodeled) has occurred. “Recombination” is a completely different manifestation from what evolutionists call progressive change, which by extension means non-evolution. In particular, the genetic material is very different with respect to the sex-determining Y chromosome.
DeWitt adds that these differences are removed from their research papers by evolutionary theory and are not addressed in the genetic context.
Background of the 1% study
DeWitt says that this expression of so-called percent similarity masks the fact that there is a huge amount of DNA that specifically differs, with 1% implying a difference of 3 million DNA base pairs. This involves a variety of genetically relevant molecular biological information such as the sequence characteristics of DNA genes that also differ being masked by a simple similarity term.
Curiously, even after decades of research to disprove it, this crude hypothetical result, arrived at in 1975, was still published in 2012 in the leading academic journal Science.
Svante Pääbo, a geneticist at the Max-Planck-Institut für evolutionäre Anthropologie in Germany, has said, “The question of how to perceive the differences between humans and chimpanzees is a political, social and cultural one. The problem is political, social, and cultural.”
These biological studies go deeper than the academic realm. The paper analyzes, “Perhaps evolutionists cling to the myth of the 1% for political, social, and cultural reasons. The DNA comparison shows that humans are very different from chimpanzees in terms of DNA. And what is the purpose of evolutionists, other than to deny the clear conclusions reflected in the comparison results?”
