I remember that humans, gorillas, and chimpanzees all seem to be about equidistant from some common ancestor on the evolutionary tree--that gorillas are as closely related to man as they are to chimpanzees; ditto with chimps. I do recall reading that human hemoglobin is close enough to gorilla hemoglobin (the difference is one amino acid in one protein chain) that it is virtually certain that some human has the equivalent of gorilla hemoglobin in his veins. david rickel decwrl!sci!daver
