A) Humans evolved from fish but fish have flimsy fins. b) Humans and chimps share 98.77 percent of their DNA but we are pretty darn different. c) If humans came from apes, why are there still apes?

Expert Solution

Step 1

It is a common misnomer that humans have descended from apes, as the actual fact states that humans and apes share a common ancestor.

Moreover, Evolution requires at least two things. First, we all have differences in our DNA, the instructions for making every living creature. These DNA differences lead to various eye colors, skin colors, blood types, and all of the other variation that exists between each of us.

Some of these DNA differences don't matter. Others can be bad and cause diseases and even death. And some of these differences in DNA can help a person to live longer or stay healthier.
