98.8% of our DNA is identical with a chimpanzee, and 60% common with a fruit fly. I am personally interested by the 'RNA Computer' hypothesis which posits an additional layer of differentiation in computations performed by interacting RNA. I have also read of experiments where memories (learned behaviors) were transplanted by injecting ground-up neural material. Flatworms were the subject I think. Of course this is all near the edge of mainstream, but I think genuine science demands openness to new ideas.
