Mutational 'genetic drift' is the formal term.

Chimps and people each share 98% of their genetic material, the ancestors of both species having evolved from a common ancestor, perhaps 20,000,000 years ago. The remaining 2% in man and chimp account for the differences between the two species. As Doug pointed out, this is called mutational genetic drift.

It altered over time while we were in different environments than our primate forbearers and primate cousins. It's not "extra", it's just the percentage that has changed over the past few million years.

yes, it came from aliens...
