Chimps and Humans

Even from the outside, there are similarities between humans and chimps that are quite apparent. However, it is interesting how such a minor percentage of difference in our DNA can manifest as such a great difference in the development of each species in terms of language, technology, philosophy, the arts and agriculture etc. I'm not necessarily saying that chimps are necessarily inferior, but there are enough significant distinctions in development that lead me to think that humans and chimps should still be placed in their own genus.
