You may or you may not know this, but a chimpanzee's DNA is approximately 99% the same as humans. That's right. Their DNA is almost identical to us. Now, here's a question for you It's a trick one. Who is more identical to chimpanzees, gorillas or us? Well, guess what? I'm not going to tell you. You're just going to have to listen to this episode Now I've been really blessed to have so many amazing guests and willing to join me on the podcast It's really pretty crazy how lucky I've been. Well today's guest, she's no exception She's a badass Jenny Desmond of the Liberian Chimpanzee Rescue and Protection Organization She joined me and let me tell you it was a huge treat for me There was so much to talk about it was really difficult to cover it all and really to be truthful We could have talked for hours. Now, here's some tidbits that I want to tell you Did you know that the Western chimpanzee is critically endangered and guess who caused it? Yep us Did you know how important they are to the environment? Wait, you hear that and think about this one So when you watch the movies and shows and see those videos and pictures on social media of chimpanzees wearing clothes and acting like us Did you know those are actually just the young guys are not even fully grown. So the big question you've got to ask yourself is this Where were their mothers and fathers when they were doing that heavy question I know in this episode we talked about all those issues and more. I Can't wait to hear this story
