Some months ago I asked a scarier question (I thought):  you keep seeing
the figure that the difference in DNA between humans and chimps is less
than 1%... but you also see that the difference between male and female
humans is ~3%.  So maybe I should be like Michael Jackson and have a chimp
for my S.O.?
