Description
What separates man from the apes? Not much! DNA study on gorilla shows we're far more similar than scientists thought.
Researchers at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge found that our genes and those of the gorilla are 98 per cent identical, although we share around 99 per cent of our make-up with chimpanzees.
Gorillas are thought to have broken off from the other great apes about 10million years ago, while chimpanzees and humans split four million years later.
This is the baby gorillas mum, they in small room next to their enclosure were they can get away from the others. The gentlemen was looking in so I decided to take the picture of the stranger and the beautiful gorilla mum to point out how amazing and similar to us gorillas really are .
