If 98% of human genes are from the Rhesus monkey gene where do you think the other 2% fit in?

The chimpanzee and human genome diverged 6 million years ago. They have 98% identity and many conserved regulatory regions.
Humans and macaques apparently share about 93% of their DNA sequence and shared a common ancestor roughly 25 million years ago.

Thank you… there is 2% of the human population that does not carry the rhesus mokey gene where do they fit in do you think?
Are you serious? Just send me a PM if you are trying to be funny or something. I promise I won’t announce it. I just would sleep better knowing you were only joking.
Rh negative blood indicates no protein connections to the Rhesus monkey, whereas rh positive blood does carry protein linked to the Rhesus monkey…:)
Humans do not “carry the rhesus mokey gene”, they share DNA from a common ancestor. Big difference.
I’m afriad you have it wrong. It is not 98 % of the genes it is 98% of the total DNA. The coding section (genes) of the DNA is actually almost identical between humans and rhesus monkeys. There is not one antomical structure or metabolic pathway that we don’t share. The difference, the 2%, is actually in the non coding or junk DNA. Obviously there is some pretty interesting stuff going on in that junk.
@SillyGirl Holy shit, are you kidding me? Psychic abilities? Alien cosmonaut clones? Tell me you’re joking!

Most people have Rh-positive blood, meaning that they produce the “Rh factor,” an inherited protein found on the surface of their red blood cells. But about 15 percent of the white population and 7 percent of the African-American population lack the Rh factor. These people are Rh-negative.

Is it just me or is there a disconnect between the question and the details here? (also a disconnect from reality somewhere)
I will say again, that this writing style is familiar, as are the questions
And I repeat and prepare to be pounced on;
”@SillyGirl: You have a staunch team of defenders here; make them proud and stop being silly and belligerent. Earn our respect.”
Yep @gailcalled I’ve been pounced on here and in Facebook land for my viewpoint.
@gailcalled Hostile and aggressive?...sorry but no one can see the other questions where you were mean to me….none of what I say you approve of…what here is belligerent?...you are chasing people away from this site…because you make me feel that way….
Tell you what…I am done here…happy now??
Ah, that makes more sense.
@gailcalled and what is wrong with this question?...I like being different….
It appears you asked this question to post your viewpoint @SillyGirl.
Where’s that rubber mallet when I need it?
@SillyGirl If I were to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you truly don’t understand what it is that you do that upsets the other users, I would ask you to look at this link and think about how the first line might be applied to your posts. Even if that is not your intent, I can tell you that it is often how they are perceived. Knowing that, if you truly wished to participate in a positive, thoughtful manner, you may be able to modify your behavior adequately to create an environment of community discourse. It has nothing to do with your spelling or grammar, which you’ve made reference to, but rather your attitude and content.
And, please! Click on “edit your answer” to add additional comments rather than sequential post after post. I do believe that that was mentioned to you in your “ganging up” question.
@gailcalled I see….let the world see YOU your majesty is ALL right and I am the aggressor – why is there questions posted that the readers here did not see – because they were not of standard…yes?
@SillyGirl. I am not the arch villain here if you would take the time to read the other respondents.
Some humans, I am sure, have hundred percent Rhesus monkey genes.
@rebbel yes….I am not one of them I am 100% negative….:)
Rhesus pieces are what is left over.
The left shoulder blade of a fuck billed twattypuss?
It is much more complicated than that.
When people say that we share 98% of our DNA with Rhesus monkeys, it does not mean that 98% of people carry the “Rhesus monkey gene”. It means that out of all of our DNA (most of which is junk), 98% of it are identical to those found in the Rhesus monkey. And the important fact is that ALL people share 98% of their DNA with Rhesus monkeys.
Another important fact is that people didn’t evolve from chimpanzees, we split from a common ancestor that wasn’t either a chimpanzee or a human.
While the Rh in “Rh factor” does stand for Rhesus, it was later shown that the Rh factor is not the same as the factor found on Rhesus monkeys.
