I say that DNA does not have to be a record of relatedness.

So, the fact that you share most of your DNA with your parents is a complete and utter coincidence, and in fact does not prove they are your parents, you could be from an entirely different couple?

It does not logically follow that because one kind "human", share genes, that all creatures share genes.

I thought you said it was impossible to know waht are different "kinds" and what are the same "kinds"? Then why are you so sure this is the case? What if all animals are of the same "kind"?

You are applying a fact in the smaller scale, with the "whole".

But you don't know ow the whole is divided.

I could say, because your genes are pretty much the same as mine, on a comparison of species level, that you MUST be my brother.

No, you can say I am a member of the same species, however.

You have simply conflated the none-importance of "closeness". Our close genes only matter because we are both human. They don't matter because they are similar or almost the same.

Our genes are also very close/similar to chimps. Is that because on a family level, we are cousins?
