Since you can't be bothered with the details I will have to explain it to you.

The article I posted said that Mice and Men share all but 16 of more
than 700 genomes. If you average that out, men and mice are 99.98%
alike in their genetic makeup. They share common susceptability to
diseases and many of the same genes that control blood pressure and
heart rate are found in both species.

Conversly, this article says we are only 96% like chimps in genetic
makeup. Interestingly enough, Chimps are not susceptable to many of
the diseases that humans are. Yet somehow chimps become the "closest
living relative".
