Shared DNA in humans and chimps, art
Shared DNA between humans and chimps, conceptual artwork. The humans look surprised to see the chimp so close to them in the double helix of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Humans and chimps, our closest relatives, share around 99% of their DNA. It is thought that the common ancestor of humans and chimps lived as recently as five million years ago

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Shared DNA between humans and chimps" beautifully captures the profound connection we share with our closest relatives in the animal kingdom. In this conceptual piece, a double helix of DNA takes center stage, symbolizing the fundamental building blocks of life that unite us all. The image portrays two human figures, one male and one female, gazing at a chimp nestled within the intricate structure of the DNA strand. Their expressions reveal surprise and awe as they witness this tangible representation of our shared genetic heritage. Scientists have long established that humans and chimpanzees possess an astonishing 99% similarity in their DNA sequences. This remarkable fact highlights how closely intertwined our evolutionary paths are. It is believed that our common ancestor with chimps lived a mere five million years ago, making these primates not only fascinating creatures but also invaluable windows into our own past. Through this thought-provoking illustration, we are reminded of the complex biological linkages that connect us to every living being on Earth. The blending of artistry and scientific knowledge invites contemplation about our place in nature's grand tapestry and encourages appreciation for the wonders of evolution. This print from Science Photo Library serves as a powerful testament to both our shared ancestry with chimpanzees and humanity's ongoing quest to unravel the mysteries encoded within our genes.
