Quote# 695

It is telling that if one compares the DNA of a human, a cow and a kangaroo one finds that the human DNA is more similar to the kangaroo (a marsupial, of course) than the cow (a fellow mammal). Why is this?

Marsupials are a type of mammal.

Because marsupials are mammals, dickwad. They just have pouches where they keep their young.

Something tells me he misunderstands the definition of \"mammal.\"

Um . . . actually I think your wrong. I think we share a closer common ancestor with cows than kangaroos. I don't know where you're getting this information, but I'm fairly sure you're wrong.

Also, marsupials are mammals. If you don't know that, really, I shouldn't be surprised if you got the rest of your facts wrong too.

He is wrong. Human DNA is closer to a cow's than a kangaroos. 85 million years instead of 140.
