Human , Neandertal, and chimp dna
In Cowen's History of Life l read on page 325 humans share 95 pc of dna with chimps,and page 339 we share up to 4pc with Neandertals. The latter seems to be referring to something different from the former, for we are obviously closer to Neandertals than chimps.
Can someone elucidate for me?

Re: Human , Neandertal, and chimp dna
Is no one able to help me with this? It is an honest query for if we have 96% chimp dna we must share more than 4% with Neandertals.
