https://evolutionnews.org/2025/05/bombshell-new-research-overturns-claim-that-humans-and-chimps-differ-by-only-1-percent-of-dna/

At least 12.5 percent and possibly up to 13.3 percent of the chimp and human genomes represent a “gap difference” between the two genomes. That means there’s a “gap” in one genome compared to the other, often where they are so different, they cannot even be aligned.
There are also significant alignable sections of the two genomes that show “short nucleotide variations” which differ by only about 1.5 percent. We can add this difference to the “gap difference,” and calculate a 14 percent to 14.9 percent total difference between human and chimp genomes. This means that the actual difference between human and chimp DNA is 14 times greater than the often-quoted 1 percent statistic.

The devil has been too long trying to call us nothing but mere animals, but we are far different.

What's the percentage between human and bananas?

6.66%

Forgive my PARD response:
Wait! Wait a little moment. Here we are at the table of discourse saying that Darwin is wrong. Let's say I grant the claim that Darwin was wrong. Now, how do we know or demonstrate if the devil exists? And, right after that, please, not before, how do we know that the devil is trying to convince our species that we are mere animals?


Hah! Nice one.

its 66.6%

humans and bananas share a surprising number of genes (around 66.6%)

Your right. A little blurb:

"The often-cited statistic that humans share a high percentage of DNA with bananas can be misleading. While it is true that about 60% of human genes have a recognizable counterpart in the banana genome, this refers to genes that perform similar basic cellular functions, not a direct measure of overall genetic identity. Proteins encoded by these shared genes are, on average, about 40% identical in their amino acid sequences. This similarity underscores fundamental processes conserved across diverse life forms."

And, from what is also shared:

"The evolutionary paths of humans and bananas diverged approximately 1.5 billion years ago, leading to the distinct characteristics we observe today. Despite this divergence, many essential genes have been conserved, highlighting the shared biological heritage that underpins the diversity of life on Earth."

Imagine if we evolved to resemble a banana in shape, color, and in how we grow as bunches while still possessing a brain, an emergent mind, and a passion for Soccer (Football in non-North American countries). It may be difficult to wear Winter hats as a banana shape.
