I'm a member of the Mexican government and I totally presented that to the masses to troll the DOD while also selling all this merch I made with dog bones, teeth, paper mache, and cocaine.

by self admitted comparison, humans and bacteria have a difference of only 15%

And I wonder how this is counted. A bacteria has about 4000 genes. A human as about 25000 genes. So, humans have at most 15% genes IN COMMON with a bacteria (assuming that every bacterial gene is present and identical in humans).

Youre right to wonder. Those kinds of numbers (claiming to show surprisingly high similarity between humans and bacteria or bananas) are calculated in a bullshit way that overstates the similarity.

Those numbers are generally based on aligning all the genes that match, and estimating the percent similarity from that. Importantly they generally ignore the spaces between genes.

Since the genome is mostly spaces between genes, this means the resulting number greatly overstates the genetic similarity. Its like if you compared two books by only comparing the chapter numbers. "Wow, they have both chapters 1-19, but this one has chapter 20 too. So they're 95% identical!"

That's how MusicForFish MusicForFish had 8 UFO Encounters.
