We are purportedly 96% similar to dogs.

Snance, I am one of them cause that’s the problem with our society. They think we evolve from monkeys and we didn’t. A human is a human. A monkey is a monkey never the twin shall meet.

This is old information. We now know that chimps and humans share 98.5% of their DNA.

Humans did not evolve from monkeys or vice versa directly, we and the monkeys evolved from the gene called "Hominidae", and then we evolved into neo/paleo-lithic hunter-gathrerers, whereas monkeys evolved into different species of monkeys, so we are not even by long shot very much same as monkeys.

Humans did not evolve from the monkey DNA directly, but rather from the "Hominidae" gene tree that monkeys used to be as well, which we evolved to Paleo/Neo-lithic to

According to Jewish tradition, when the inhabitants of the earth united to build a huge tower (higher than a skyscraper) to fight against GOD, a third of them were transformed into monkies, or primates.

tom66, I thought we were closer to pigs since there is insulin from pigs and some other transplantable things that come from pigs
