Definición

  • One of the most important discoveries of recent times, related to our origins, is the verification of a close genetic affinity between human beings and chimpanzees. Such affinity is so significant (98.8%)that it is estimated that both phylogenetic lines that led to the two species had a common ancestor approximately 6 to 8 million years ago.
