    Hi Platt,

    Thanks for the info. BTW, Vogel called you a Marxist. You're not
    gonna let him get away with that, are you? I'm not sure, but I think
    he thinks everyone who isn't a racist is a Marxist.

    Best,
    Mark

    Nice thing about the Internet. You can always check someone's
    "facts."

    Reported in Discovery News:

    "May 20, 2003 - Chimpanzees share 99.4 percent of functionally
    important DNA with humans and belong in our genus, Homo, according to
    a recent genetic study.

    "Previous studies put the genetic similarity between humans and
    chimps
    at 95 to 99 percent, so the new figure suggests chimps and humans are
    even more closely related than previously thought.

    "The findings are published in the current Proceedings of the
    National
    Academy of Sciences."
