As Crystal Bernard (of “Master Ninja II” fame) once sang :

I’m no kin to the monkey no-no-no
The monkey’s no kin to me yeah-yeah-yeah
I don’t know much about his ancestors
but mine didn’t swing from a tree

Well Crystal, I hate to break it to ya, but there’s a few scientists who might disagree with you :

Scientists from the Wayne State University, School of Medicine, Detroit, US, examined key genes in humans and several ape species and found our “life code” to be 99.4% the same as chimps.

They propose moving common chimps and another very closely related ape, bonobos, into the genus, Homo, the taxonomic grouping researchers use to classify people in the animal kingdom.

Personally I’m more likely to trust the scientific opinions of scientists versus former sitcom stars, but that’s just me…
