 		 #151468 - Genetically distinct
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Andy Neil said:
You've really missed the point here!

Do you understand the concepts of sets and sub-sets?

"firmware" is a subset of "software", but chimpanzee and human are distinct sets.

IANAB but, AIUI, both chimpanzee and human are subsets of primates. This is a completely different situation


IANAB = I Am Not A Biologist;
AIUI = As I Understand It.


It doesnt required to be a biologist to have common knowledge . Everything started from a single cell through genetic mutations and somewhere in the evolution Chimpanze's genetic code could no further mutate and were left behind the race the mutated species became homo sapiens and finally what we are , we can call chimps our closest ancestors.

How can you call then a distinct sets? .

Anyways this isnt the topic of discussion . What I want to say is Andy is Andy and no one calls you a Human being though you are ?. Arn't you ? .Similarly we try to distinguish Software / firmware and dont club the two .
Your point is I want to talk to a person who is a type of Human ?, you dont want to distinguish the the two .
