Zuckerkandl noted: “From the point of view of hemoglobin structure, it appears that the gorilla is just an abnormal human, or man an abnormal gorilla, and the two species form actually one continuous population” (1963, p. One year following Watson and Crick’s Nobel ceremony, chemist Emile Zuckerkandl observed that the protein sequence of hemoglobin in humans and the gorilla differed by only 1 out of 287 amino acids. Nevertheless, the results were exactly what evolutionists were looking for, and as such, the claim has reverberated through the halls of science for decades as evidence that humans evolved from an ape-like ancestor. This genetic similarity in the proteins and nucleic acids, however, left a great paradox-why do we not look or act like chimpanzees if our genetic material is so similar? King and Wilson recognized the legitimacy of this quandary when they remarked: “The molecular similarity between chimpanzees and humans is extraordinary because they differ far more than many other sibling species in anatomy and life” (p. Just thirteen short years after Watson and Crick received their famed Nobel Prize, the declaration was made “that the average human polypeptide is more than 99 percent identical to its chimpanzee counterpart” (King and Wilson, 1975, pp. The field of molecular biology became invigorated with scientists who wanted to compare the proteins and nucleic acids of one species with those of another. By demonstrating the molecular arrangement of four nucleotide base acids (adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymidine-usually designated as A,G,C, and T) and how they combine, Watson and Crick opened the door for determining the genetic makeup of humans and animals. Just nine years earlier, in 1953, these two scientists had proposed the double helical structure of DNA-the genetic material responsible for life. In 1962, James Dewey Watson and Francis Harry Compton Crick received the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their discovery concerning the molecular structure of DNA. Neither of you people can be taken seriously cuz you ppl seem to live in your own lil fantasywhere everyone is either black or white and the rest are suppose to be "Mulattos". Nordicism & Afrocentrism are fantasy ideologies that have nothing to do with actual history OR People. What about Gorilla who are 98.4% Humans?!?!

There is a thin line between Hayawan, and Al- Nas. ^^^this other guy kind of looks white or puerto ricanĭamn why is it they look so human. The above chimp has normal pigmentation but is diagnosed with alopecia areata, an autoimmune skin disease resulting in the loss of hair on the scalp and elsewhere on the body.ĭespite this, she seems to get along well with the other chimps and lives a normal zoo life. Is this hairless chimpanzee black or white?Ĭhimpanzees have 94% identical DNA to humans. Topic: Is this hairless chimpanzee black or white?
