Which creatures are genetically similar to humans?

Basically all mammals are genetically similar to humans. But some more so than others like dolphins and the great apes, i.e. Chimpanzees and gorillas of which we are 98% genetically identical.

lions and tigers are one i know of. aka ligers/tygons. i believe wolves/dogs can be too. i would assume that there could be a lot more possibilities as long as they are in the same family of animal.

I believe that humans and gorillas are genetically incompatible, meaning they can't make babies.\n\nHorses, zebras, and donkeys can still make babies because they used to be the same animal, but have not changed enough to be genetically incompatible. Give them another 50,000 years or so and they will lose the ability to make inter-species babies.

gorillas are apes ,monkeys are not apes .apes are gorillas, chimpanzees orang utans and gibbons.A subspecies of chimpanzees is called Bonobo. Those are the ones most closely related to us humans

great apes from chimpanzees have got 96% similarity to humans

man and monkey evolved from a common ancestor

Older sources will state that the closest relatives to hippos are the pigs and peccaries.  Genetic evidence says that whales and dolphins are their closest relatives.  The ruminants (cattle, goats, deer, giraffes, mouse deer, pronghorn, etc.) are the closest relative of the hippos/whales.  This group along with two others, the camelids and the pigs/peccaries, unite to form the Artiodactyla (sometimes called Cetartiodactyla).\n\nIt's now thought that the hippo whale ancestors were the anthracotheres instead of the mesonychids.

The difference can be quantified by computing the similarities between the DNA sequences of homo sapiens and other animal species. He's right, the differences are very little. More than 98% of our DNA sequence is similar to the chimpanzee. The gorilla, orangutan and other old world apes are also extremely close. The new world apes are farther, then the monkies, and so on...

What species the questioner be about?

Pigs and humans: no.\nChimps and humans: maybe.\n\nHonestly, the scientific jury is still out on whether or not humans are able to crossbreed with apes.  Rumours have cropped up within the scientific community for years, but no definitive cases have presented themselves.  Check out the link below for some interesting reading on the topic.

No people, regardless of skin coloration, skull index or brain volume, were "made" from apes.\n\nThere is irrefutable evidence that humans and apes had common ancestors, evidence not in the shape of bones of a missing link but in the shape of shared genetic and developmental (in the formation of the embryo) characteristics. There is as irrefutable evidence that none of the modern apes that inhabit our planet today are ancestors of the modern humans.\n\n"White people" are descended from black people who bred from a limited gene pool in an environment where little sun light and cold climate favoured people whose skin had a high ultraviolet uptake and longer noses. In times of malnutrition, this slight advantage in access to Vitamin D may have been the difference between a healthy individual and a sickly individual to choose between for mating.\n\nLeaving aside the question whether evolution is based on random events, planned divergences by an active creator or morphic resonance, fact is that selective breeding is an accepted method to emphasize traits in a race. Among humans, who changed independent wolves into trustful dogs (not without cooperation from the first wolves-turning-into-dogs) and fierce aurochs into rather tame milk cows the idea of breeding themselves is ancient, too. Blood relation to successful leaders were selected as leaders just by this virtue, maybe because for some time the successful leaders did produce able offspring. Less able offspring then managed to insist on that tradition, and the concept of inheritable nobility was born.

Homologous proteins are ones that are thought to be related from a common ancestral gene.\n\nHeterologous proteins would not be related, even if they perform the same function in different species.

We share a recent common ancestor with chimpanzees and gorillas; we have many \nanatomical, \ngenetic, \nbiochemical, \nand even behavioral similarities with these African great apes.\n We are less similar to the Asian apes--orangutans and gibbons--and even less similar to monkeys, because we share common ancestors with these groups in the more distant past. \nOf course we cant interbreed!!!! we have 23 sets of chromosomes and apes have 24!!!!!

It seems that anthropologists have bones of austropethicus and ape-like people like the bones of an ape person called "Lucy" The skull cavity was for a large brain but the bone structures were more ape like than human like. There was neanderthal man which was believed to have been exterminated by homo erectus. Also homo habilis. I'm really not sure if people wiped out some smart ape people or if those bones are supposed to be us. But I personally believe humans are not apes. If anything I believe people are more closely related to bears than apes, though genetically speaking I'd be laughed at for that assertion.

Humans and chimpanzees are not in the same genus, and our genetic makeup is fairly far removed.  However, we may never know unless we try, and there are many ethical barries that would prevent that.  Humans and chimpanzees ARE apes, and closely related ones at that.  I wouldn't rule it out as a possiblity.  Asian and African elephants are in completely genera, and they can produce hybrid offspring.\n\nChimp/human hybrids, despite their questionable existence, even have a name.  They are called chumans or humanzees.  The chimp Oliver was claimed to be a manpanzees, but was most likely a chimp with genetic mutations whose affection toward women and human-like behavior was due to being raised by humans. \n\nHere's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manpanzee

Well, they are genetically the same species as the rest of us, but some of them do fail to live up to the name.

They are close, but the list is as follows:\n\n1. Great Apes\n2. Whales and Dolphins\n3. Elephants\n4. Parrots
