I'm not sure that I get the point of your analogy.
To be clear, I'm saying that genetic match supersedes any list of superficial attributes to determine identity. If it's established that X and Y are an 89% DNA match, even though X tastes and looks like Z, the fact that Y and Z belong in distant genetic branches should be enough to dismiss X as a possible Z.
- darkerside 5y agoMy point is that being an 89% match doesn't necessarily mean very much.
- fieldcny 5y agoHumans and chimps share 98% of their DNA, We also share like 84% with pigs. 89% doesn’t really seem like a case closed kind of stat.
- mekoka 5y agoYou should look up DNA barcoding. We don't have an 84% barcode match with pigs.
