M: Hey, Cathy. You didn’t say even a word in the last ten minutes. What are you doing on earth?
W: Well, everybody is talking about genes nowadays, but do genes determine everything about us?

That means that chimpanzees are more closely related to humans than to other animals, such as monkeys, whales, or cats.
