:It is a combination of DNA and protein matching to get that number. Although it is important to note that not every ape is as close as others. I will agree that it does not make any statement towards the similarities that could be due to a designer.--[[User:Tims|TimS]] 07:24, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

:Just for my curiosity, what are these scientists claiming about the T-rex/chicken relationship (if anything)? That various dinosaurs independently evolved into different birds, or that some dinosaur evolved into a bird, from which all modern birds are descended, and that chickens are the nearest thing to that original bird?

:I can not say. The paper only reported the similarities and showed the genetic distance of other families of animals from the dinosaurs. They made no claim about the method of descent just that there was a relationship.--[[User:Tims|TimS]] 07:24, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

:::Thanks for both answers. I didn't mean to imply that all apes are the same in that regard. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 08:36, 15 April 2007 (EDT)
