Differences between chimps and humans

it that makes us so different from chimps? Quote from article:
The genomes of all mammals are so similar that "it's hard to understand how
they can produce such different animals", says Sue Povey, who works on human
gene mapping at University College London in England. If their genes are
alike, it's probably changes in when, where and how active they are that
drives the differences between species, she agrees.

While there is room in that 1.3% for purely genetic phenomena, I suggest the
big difference between humans and chimps is testosterone. Human males and
females produce more testosterone than chimpanzee males and females.

That is a silly idea easily tested and refuted. Make some "chimp
testosterone" and inject it in chimps. See if you can make humans that
way. Duh.

The argument has been made that the slaughter of June 2 and 4 was
necessary to clear Tiananmen Square. Then why did the indiscriminate
killing of innocent people continue for several days after
the martial law troops had already occupied the square.....
These young men and women are only a small number of the victims
of June 4 that I know of. Relatives of some victims, fearful of
official pressure are unwilling to reveal publicly the names and
circumstances of the deaths of their loved ones, and thus they
bear an even greater pain. Professor Ding,

Well, he said the "big difference" and not the "only difference".
Whether you agree with him or not, it seems you misinterpreted
his comment.

OK, fair enough. Inject "chimp testosterone" in chimps and see if it
reduces the "big difference" to a little difference.

between chimp and human testosterone. In fact, there is no difference
between the testosterone found in male insects and the testosterone in male
humans.

Cool. Take a lot of testosterone, inject it into some chimps, and note
the change. If that reduces the "difference" between chimps and humans
"a lot", your theory is proved. If not, try again.
