One of the idiocies of the people who refuse to beleive in the Evolution theory of life is the beliefs that Humans do not really belong to the animal kingdom. We are somehow special and have our own place on earth.
Naturally in the last 10,000 years mankind has managed to become top dog on earth not fearing any other animals. Although one to one, quite a few animals would make a good meal out of a human.
Be that as it may, DNA does not lie. So which animals are cloley related to us from the animal kingdom.

Bonobos are also 98,6 to 99% DNA match
Gorillas have about 98 to 98.4 DNA match
Orangutans have 97% DNA match
Lemurs are 93% DNA match
