New Footage Could Be First-Ever Captured Of Colossal Squid Baby, Your Star Sign Has No Impact On Your Well-Being, And Much More This Week

June 1, 2024 by Deborah Bloomfield

This week, a report by whale scientists may finally explain why orcas have been attacking boats, a billionaire has plans for a new submersible trip to the Titanic wreckage, and a tiny fern has broken the world record for the largest genome of any organism. Finally, we explore how humans and chimpanzees are able to be so different despite sharing 98.8 percent of DNA.

Human And Chimp DNA Is 98.8 Percent Identical – So How Are We So Different?

Along with bonobos, chimpanzees are humanity’s closest living relatives, with a genome that is strikingly similar to our own.
