It turns out that the software that Tomkins used was defective. He has since gone back to work on the DNA comparisons with three programs and obtained higher numbers than he had before, but still lower than the percentages of human-chimp DNA similarity claimed by evolutionists.
Interestingly, people are focusing on this DNA similarity aspect. But that is not all there is to the story, because there are obviously marked differences between humans and chimps, and those need to be taken into account as well. Tomkins is planning on publishing new information on the DNA research soon.
Here are several links for your research:
- DNA Study Contradicts Human/Chimp Common Ancestry - from 2011, before the disputed research by Dr. Tomkins
- Genomic monkey business—estimates of nearly identical human–chimp DNA similarity re-evaluated using omitted data - This is the one with based on faulty software
- Human lincRNA Regions Vastly Different from Chimpanzee - It's not just a case of comparing raw numbers for DNA similarities
- New Study Indicates Chimp DNA is 88% Similar to Human DNA - Dr. Wile's October 15, 2015 blog article on the controversy
- A Fresh Look at Human-Chimp DNA Similarity - from December 30, 2015
- BLASTN the Human-Chimpanzee DNA Claim - Dr. Tompkins' 2016 research paper
- Widening the Human-Chimp DNA Gap
- Evolutionists Stitch Together the Chimpanzee Genome
- Chimp Genome Research Supports Creationists - Using the genetic fallacy to reject research by creationists? Okay, it is supported by secular scientists as well. Happy?
