Are humans related to slugs?

[UnknownGagsUser]

It's probably not that surprising to learn that humans share 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees–but incredibly, we also share 70% with slugs 😀

[Rachelspiks]

We're so much more than just DNA. In any case, the belief that we share 98% of our DNA with chimps is false.

We share about 70% of our DNA with Rose's, too.

It's hardly surprising. Most of DNA codons, from moose to magnolias, from rhinos to rhododendrons, from crickets to crocodiles, are common to all living things.

In terms of which invertebrates all vertebrate animals (which include us) are closest to, that distinction goes to echinoderms which include starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers.

That's right! As incredible as it sounds, we're closer to starfish than slugs.

The reason all organisms share a huge amount of dna is because dna doesn’t have a mechanism for getting rid of unused dna sections. So in actuality the portion of dna that is active in each organism is much smaller of a percentage. But it also shows everything is related and branches

You do realize that ever living thing on the planet is literally related to every other living thing on the planet, right?

[Bluemax]

Yyyep!

I think that's super!

[Ms_Vanderquack]

@Bluemax hell, mollusks and cordites are both in Kingdom animalia. Not even that far removed from each other in the grand scheme of things.

[Bluemax]

I think you mean "chordates?"

[Ms_Vanderquack]

@Bluemax Lol, voice to text fails me again. Didn't you know, gunpowder is the precursor to vertebrates?

[Bluemax]

Perhaps gunpowder is the cause of the Cambrian explosion! 😉

[Jake99999]

I don't know but I know a few humans who I think actually are slugs

[Anonymous]

[Kaneki05]

Of course. We related to everything that lives and even things that ain't.

[Manchild2018]

We don't come from monkeys. If that was the case the monkeys would all be human right now and we definitely have nothing to do with fucking slugs.

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

Well we shared a common ancestor around 600 million years ago.

[EaterPeter]

Some definitely are. Probably as we age most of us may look much more related.

[Pterodon]

It’s because all of us come from the earth. We all have iron for example

[Anonymous]

No. Im not even related to you and we share 99.9% of our dna lol

[slatyb]

Yes, in the far distant past.

[zagor]

Much higher for DMV workers...

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I guess we were once Namekians

[Better_off_here]

this is incredibly interesting and also gross.

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

Well, a lot of us tend to be slow and lazy, sooo

[shadowlunitic03]

I was expecting a poll

[Anonymous]

Nowadays
I don't want anybody trample me

[BattleToadBC]

the math dont add up

[princeofromance]

We are quite lazy.

[AkshiJanjua]

Yes I am a slug
