Before 2002, it was commonly claimed that humans differed genetically from chimpanzees by 1-2%. However, following the completion of the human All the DNA contained in an organism or a cell, which includes both the chromosomes within the nucleus and the DNA in mitochondria.genome project's complete genetic The order of nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule, or the order of amino acids in a protein molecule.sequence, and the beginning of the chimpanzee All the DNA contained in an organism or a cell, which includes both the chromosomes within the nucleus and the DNA in mitochondria.genome The order of nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule, or the order of amino acids in a protein molecule.sequence, we now have a much better estimate of the genetic difference.

These differences equal 3.4%. Therefore, the total genetic difference between chimpanzees and humans is now seen as being 4.8%1 - much larger than previously thought. Such a large genetic difference now brings into question the paradigm of common descent. References
