What exactly has discredited the NCBI database? Is there a more recent database?
Thomkins study doesnt count, if he doesnt publish in real scientific places its just irrelevant. Noone knows if he even did anything or just made the whole thing up.
If you can find a credible link talking about the 70% difference, people working at MIT and Harvard and such, it would interest me. All the places i look say 98% though. I think the 70% figure is circulating in non-scientific places such as creationist blogs and webpages and the real figure is stil 98%.
But if i see a serious link with a real scientist saying 70%?

• Lanugo. This little-known developmental phenomenon is an important clue to our mammalian past. Lanugo is a coat of fine, downy hair that fetuses grow while in the womb, covering the entire body except for the soles of the feet and the palms of the hands. Typically, lanugo is shed by the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy, although premature infants may retain it for several weeks after birth. The question is why we grow it at all, and the theory of evolution can easily explain this as a vestigial characteristic retained from our furry ancestors. "]
That is an easy conclusion,but not necessarily so.It is considering Aristotle fallacy and spontaneous mutation could be happen arbitrarily.Intuitively,we will always relating an alien with a branch of evolution on earth if we never know what a natural alien is .
