So, and I think that gives us hope. People say, well, we should not be so haughty. We should not be so arrogant. We have, what, 50% of the same chromosomes as a fruit fly. Who are you to be? And I say, I'll do you one better. I think some bonobos have 98% similarity, but that should give us more sort of treat ourselves and think of ourselves in a way that's more...

you know, more elevated, I would say, because we're not that. There's many species of chimpanzees and primates. And so there's only one human, you know, homo sapien, which, you know, a lot of people don't know the word, you know, homo sapien, which is our species and our genes.
