We.... Aren't. There are similarities in all types of life on Earth.

They promote things like Prometheus to discredit religion. They make you feel smart and scientific but also like you are just a piece of dust.That is the main reason for those such things. Aliens aren't even proven to be real yet you think they seeded this planet.

Interesting links. I will do some further reading for sure!

I agree, in all ways one looks at it, humans do appear to be a 'hybrid' or genetically created species. The 'magic' that makes us humanity is in the splicing of chromosome #2 of our DNA.

Human chromosome 2 is a result of an end-to-end fusion of two ancestral chromosomes

From your link

Learning this much about the pig genome is important because the pig is one of the closest large animal species to humans.

I would expect the pig DNA to be very similar to human, just like virtually every other mammal. Obviously not the same.

Tried to find a direct comparison.... not any luck. But see http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v491/n7424/fig_tab/nature11622_F1.html

Reference? I don't believe it.
