"It is hubris to say what we currently understand about genetics explains all we see in nature." It is, and I think you'd be at pains to find anybody to make such a broad and obviously wrong statement. The point at genetic homology with chimps is much more specific (and thus testable) than a broad generalization as the above. The genetic argument is the strongest argument for humans and other primates sharing a common ancestor. That is the testable hypothesis. If it's true, then the anthropological family tree should correlate with the existing primate tree not only in structure but also along genetic lines. It does, whenever and however it has been tested.
