interesting tid-bit learned
Chimpanzees are human's closest relatives in terms of shared DNA. That is no surprise. What did surprise me is the *lack* of genetic diversity in humans. Any two humans, from the most remote Eskimo up North to the most remote Aboriginal Tribesman in Australia are most closely related than any two chimps from the same extended family group. That did surprise me.
