It has long been claimed that humans share 98.5% of their DNA with chimpanzees, though that estimate has more recently been reduced to about 95%.

Yet in a story today, scientists claim that 12% of the human genme can vary from one person to another.

So if one human is 95% similar to a chimp, yet only 88% similar to another human, are they more ape than man?
And if so, could they be Robbie Williams?
