# DNA simply: the recipe in every cell, sentence 10

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
People share about 98 percent of their DNA with chimpanzees, our closest living relatives; we had a common ancestor about 6 to 7 million years ago, and small differences in the recipe make big differences in body and brain.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** People, we, small differences · **What happens:** share, live, have, make · **To what, where:** 98 percent, common ancestor, big differences, body

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of the lesson «DNA simply: the recipe in every cell» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (People, we, small differences), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
