Guaranteed to Send Pat Robertson Over the Edge

Kissin' Cousins?

Australian researchers believe that humans and kangaroos shared a common ancestor about 150 million years ago.

From the Daily Mail:

'There are a few differences, we have a few more of this, a few less of that, but they are the same genes and a lot of them are in the same order,' said Jenny Graves, director of the Centre of Excellence for Kangaroo Genomics.

'We thought they'd be completely scrambled, but they're not. There is great chunks of the human genome which is sitting right there in the kangaroo genome,' she added.

Crikey! Can it be true? Can you trust an organization called the Centre of Excellence for Kangaroo Genomics?
