I have read in several places that the chimpanzee is the nearest to 
humans in that we share 98% of genes with the other 2% making us 
humans and chimpanzees apes. However it would seem that we are 
closest to the bonobos in our sexual behaviour (and preoccupation!). 
Have any comparisons been carried out between human and bonobo genes 
and what do the results indicate?

Great service. Thanks
