English to Portuguese: Chimps are human, gene study implies / Chimpanzés são humanos, afirma estudo genético General field: Social Sciences
Source text - English The latest twist in the debate over how much DNA separates humans from chimpanzees suggests we are so closely related that chimps should not only be part of the same taxonomic family, but also the same genus.
The new study found that 99.4 percent of the most critical DNA sites are identical in the corresponding human and chimp genes. With that close a relationship, the two living chimp species belong in the genus Homo, says Morris Goodman of Wayne State University in Detroit.
The closeness of relationship between chimps and humans has become an important issue outside taxonomy, becoming part of the debate over the use of chimps in laboratory experiments and over their conservation in the wild.
Translation - Portuguese A última reviravolta no debate sobre o quanto o DNA separa os humanos dos chimpanzés sugere que somos parentes tão próximos que os chimpanzés não deveriam apenas fazer parte da mesma família taxonômica, mas também do mesmo gênero.
Este novo estudo descobriu que 99,4% das sequências de DNA mais críticas são idênticas nos genes correspondentes em humanos e chimpanzés. Com esta relação tão próxima, as duas espécies viventes de chimpanzês pertencem ao gênero Homo, afirma Morris Goodman da Universidade Estadual do Wayne em Detroit.
A proximidade do relacionamento entre chimpanzés e humanos se tornou uma questão importante fora da taxonomia, tornando-se parte do debate sobre o uso de chimpanzés em experimentos de laboratório e sobre sua conservação na natureza.

I studied as Primary School Teacher in Italy and passed Cambridge Advanced and Cambridge Proficiency English exams in London (UK). I now live in Brazil where I worked as language teacher for both Cultura Inglesa (teaching EaFL) and Centro de Cultura Italiana (teaching IaFL). In Brasil I took Italian as L2 from Università di Siena. I am occasionally working giving language tuition via SkyPE. I work as full-time translator, editor and ghostwriter for professors and students at UDESC and UFSC, the local Universities in town.
