The researchers discovered that humans and orangutans share approximately 97% of their DNA. This compares to about 99% sequence similarity between humans and chimps. The orangutan is the third nonhuman primate to have its genome sequenced, after the chimp and rhesus macaque.Feb 7, 2011
Are orangutans Asian?
Orangutans are found only in the rain forests of the Southeast Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra. They spend nearly their entire lives in trees—swinging in tree tops and building nests for sleep.
