99% of our DNA (or whatever) may be the same as a chimp. But that other 1% is really really important.

As is the other 99%? The tricky bits are probably encoded in the other 99%. Being a bit bigger or having a larger brain is probably just a tiny modification to the genetic code.

Indeed, all life (on earth) is related. Including us to plants. We are something like 50% banana by some measures.

disagree. I am at least 75% bananas

Believe it or not, brewers yeast shares 50% of the genetic code that goes to make up Human DNA.
Thats right, you are sitting there being an IT guru , but one half of you is a little beery enzyme.

The amount of difference in the genetic sequence between you and any other living creature is suprisingly tiny

Cant get that one at all.
A Human could mean anything. Are you looking for a specific human or something essentially human.

Brewers yeast just brings beer and vitamin B to mind.

Mockingbird. Harper Lee or the Adamms family keep popping into my head.

Cant think of a connection though.

Would further clues be out of the question?

Trivia here.

Kate Bush pronounced babushka incorrectly. The stress is on the first syllable not the second, so it should be "baaabushka" not "baboooushka" as she sings it.

not Charles Darwin

That was why I only put 9 in the "How intelligent are you poll"...

[EternalOptimist]

Charles Darwin. I thank You.

not Charles Darwin

well done. I thought AtW might get that one.


question 4. this is the toughie, no amount of googling will get this one. If anyone gets it I will be impressed to bits.

Last one is Baboushka?
Kate bush song, Russian for Grandma, Story of a woman testing her husbands fidelity

well done. I thought AtW might get that one.
