SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA Great apes are a lot like us or, rather, because they came first in our evolutionary journey, we re a lot like them.
We share the same bone structure and the same internal organs. The genetic difference between our species is minuscule; our DNA is about 97 percent similar. We get many of the same diseases.
