Show Notes

Is human DNA really 99% identical to a chimpanzee's? New genomic research is turning that long-held claim on its head. The real number may be closer to 85% similar — a difference so vast that evolutionary theory struggles to account for it. Four critical questions reveal why: How similar are our genomes? What happens when we count everything? How many mutations would evolution require? And could biology even survive that many changes?

Geneticist Dr. Robert Carter unpacks why the math simply doesn't add up — and what that means for our understanding of human origins.
