,<<Unfortunately, you and I both share about 99% of our genes with your local, garden variety chimp.>>

And the other 1 % permits us to communicate with another chimp on the other side of the earth in less than one second even if he speaks and writes a different language.

Even if we cannot understand one word he is saying,with words, mathematics and a computer we can tell him how to build a factory and produce all the components of a car or airplane so he can fly over here at 2000 mph or more and visit us.

Or how to change the genes of a plant to produce twice the efficiency or to be immune to plant diseases.

We can hand him a small hand -held device with which he can tell within 4 inches his position on the earths surface.

We can tell him when the pyramids were built, when dinosaurs became extinct. When a campfire was extinguished thousands of years ago.
How to dig some rocks out of the ground and rework their dust in a fashion that will produce nearly limitless power,or how to look back at the Universe 12 billion years ago.
