When the Chimpanzee Genome was published in 2005, there was a media frenzy suggesting that we now had proof that Chimps and Humans share approximately 99% of the same DNA. This misunderstanding has persisted for more than 25 years and was originally based on a comparison of protein coding genes between the two species. Nevertheless, by definition, this comparison could only be based upon protein coding genes that both species possess. We now know that humans possess hundreds of genes that are absent in the chimpanzee.
