Play of Genes !

Read another interesting article on genes and the role they play in our being the way we are.. It was in the latest Scientific American Journal.
Not going into details - it was way too technical for me to understand .. please excuse my limited knowledge on biology :)
The crux was..
It said we have 99% same genes as chimps.. and that 1% is what makes all the difference ! Also, Chimps were not our ancestors, but humans and chimps had the same ancestors (ok :)) And... And.. the ancestor of this common ancestor was .. guess..
CHICKEN !

Yikes... CHICKEN our forefathers..... !!!
INTERESTING !!!
