I was surprised I didnt get more denials. Only one out of the lot. Of course I had expected more answers. I didnt know about the 50th cousin thing that was very interesting, Thank you all very much. Wow 50th cousin to a vegetable. Carrot head must be a throwback. Kisses

OK DA - take it back to Biology class. It has been genetically proven that there are only so many human genetic progenitors on the planet and we are all 50th cousins. Sorry you missed this somehow.

Yes. The similarities between a carrot cell and one of your brain cells far outweigh the differences.

No, we are not related to plants, too. At least not most of us. I've met a few people that might have problems beating the average cabbage in a game of Chutes and Ladders, but it doesn't mean they're related.

Evolutionist is not a word.
Yes, we're related to plants too. After all, the same basic amino acids are inside all of us on this planet, they're just in different formations.

All life. The consistency of the genetic code is too striking.

Yep. We're related to every living thing if you go far back. And then to non-living things in the way that they contain elements that we contain etcetc

Ask one of them how life originated in an atmosphere than is poisonous to the particular amino acids that have to exist before DNA can form.

Of course we are. Plants have DNA and cells, like us.
