Science Update from ICR · May 29, 2025

An oft-repeated claim of evolutionary propaganda is that chimpanzee and human DNA are 98.5% identical. This high level of DNA similarity, which has been cherry picked from protein coding regions common to all mammals, has been used to bolster the hypothesis that humans and chimps share a common ancestor that lived about six million years ago. Based on theoretical models of human evolution and known mutation rates in both humans and chimps, ... More...
