Based on DNA, is it a pig or a chimpanzee that is the most similar to humans?

Me and my friend had an argument in which I have claimed that pigs have the most similar DNA to humans. My friend said that it's chimpanzees that have the most similar DNA. Who's right?|||The answer is Chimpanzees. In fact very recently a lot of knowledge has been acquired about the Y chromosomes from the studies of chimps. It has been shown that this is the fastest evolving chromosome in their body and this finding is believed to be applicable to the human Y chromosome as well|||A Chimp are our closest relatives, however medical professionals discuss the similarities of human anatomy and a pig's internal organs.





There has been many discussions on how a human heart and a pigs heart are almost identical in its functions.|||chimpanzees definately|||i'm guessing monkeys... but our bodies are somehow similar in proportion to pigs, so we can use them for some transplants.. so i've heard... but i don't really know.. :D|||It's a chimp|||Chimps win, but pigs are close to us in taste. Boiled or roasted.|||you x
