DNA sequences in many human genes are very similar to the sequences of corresponding genes in chimpanzees. The most likely explanation for this result is that .DNA sequences in many human genes are very similar to the sequences of corresponding genes in chimpanzees. The most likely explanation for this result is that .chimpanzees evolved from humanshumans evolved from chimpanzeesconvergent evolution led to the DNA similaritieshumans and chimpanzees share a relatively recent common ancestor
