Since humans and chimps are from the same planet and have 98% of their DNA identical to one another would The Galactics even consider the two as seperate?
I mean when a Kanten or a Soro looked at the two, even to the point of looking at the genetics, wouldn't they simply think they were looking at two variations of the same animal?
I would qualify my response by stating I am not a zoologist.
I think the difference between chimps and Humies would be akin to the differences between, say, horses and deer. Both have similar design features, (hoofed animals), but under closer scrutiny have some very different structures. Similarly, the fact that chimps have different skull, feet, and hip structures would show enough differences to classify as something seperate. That 2% is an important 2%.
The very fact that the 2 species cannot interbreed would probably be telling...
