The first complete gorilla genome has been mapped by scientists giving fresh insights into our own origins.
Gorilla are the last of the genus of living great apes (humans, chimpanzees, gorillas and orang-utans) to have their DNA decoded, offering new perspectives on their evolution and biology.
"The gorilla genome is important because it sheds light on the time when our ancestors diverged from our closest evolutionary cousins around six to 10 million years ago," says Aylwyn Scally, postdoctoral fellow at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge and lead author of the report.
Evolution? Bah! I didn't come from some dirty monkey! I came from a combination of god-magic and some guy's rib!
Now of course the religious community of nutbars will say that Sarah Palin has all the answers about humans living with the dinosaurs......can't you just wait for their response to this news.

Well, that proves it! There's no more mystery! The Guerrilla had the gene which allows, "OBESITY", just like us.
