Human and cats have about 90% of DNA in common. Here are some more facts and figures:
- Genome-wide variation from one human being to another can be up to 0.5% (99.5% similarity)
- Chimpanzees are ~ 98% similar to humans, depending on how it is calculated.
- Cats have ~90% of homologous genes with humans, 82% with dogs, 80% with cows, 79% with chimpanzees, 69% with rats and 67% with mice. Initial sequence and comparative analysis of the cat genome
- Cows (Bos taurus) are ~80% genetically similar to humans
- 75% of mouse genes have equivalents in humans, ~90% of the mouse genome could be lined up with a region on the human genome. About 99% of mouse genes turn out to have analogues in humans.
- The fruit fly (Drosophila) shares about 60% of its DNA with humans.
- About 60% of chicken genes correspond to a similar human gene.
@Gandalf the above list proves it is reasonable for me to pick any or all of these animals
Jews, Irish and Italians were considered sort of not-really-white in those days.
Cats were the incarnation of the devil.
