you didn't see my quote

they also gave multiple different sources as well

hey, i share dna with a steak which is why i eat it...doesn't mean i'm the same species as it

i went back and looked and didn't see a quote

you eat it because you share dna with it? xD

Genes are made of DNA, so if we match 50% genes we match at LEAST 50% dna

genes and dna aren't the same thing

Thats not what i said

dna is made up of genes from what i understand

I said Genes are made of DNA, so if we match 50% genes we match at LEAST 50% dna

Opposite @Meryl.140.15

Genes are made from dna

you read the article?

Yes

And again, Genes are made of DNA, so if we match 50% genes we match at LEAST 50% dna

that's not what hte article says at all

Ok.

1 sec

cripes. so this is the #notingeneralkansasanymore spoken of in legend

So you're counting other dna that has nothing to do with anything genetic. Which is the 50% we said right?

I think I'm just confused now. Too much circle talk. Can't keep it straight. Maybe people in the <#733947969765769237> room can help.

I dont think I can

i was gonna say i dont think either of us know enough about dna to really debate it lol

Lol

genes are dna or dna are genes

etc etc

Still debating on how evolution works in here?

so im guessing we didn't get the yellow gene from bananas then

genetic trait so like hair color and all that

I think we are arguing more semantics vs the actual point

Which is why this convo has gone nowhere

Dear lord. So now the argument is "Are genes DNA?". Well, they are one in the same, but they are different things, hence their different names. It's like arguing if the color gold is a shade of yellow or not

lol im just trying to understand evolution theory when the dna is so completely different

for example people have been talking about how chimps and whatnot have like 98% same dna as humans

i dont believe this, that's all, including the part where we were fish that grew legs

anyway i think we should move on now

There are many things that share genetic patterns with humans, but that doesn't mean we're related to those things on a level of like... two people being cousins. We're more like... 154th cousins or something complicated enough where we look totally different from them of course. Yeah
