Good point and there is a lot of similarity between the DNA of people (or any mammal) and gum trees or grass or fungi etc too. I vaguely remember something about 20 to 30%. Not surprisingly, as the processes of many biological functions, such as the running of our genetic systems (meiosis & mitosis etc) and many very basic biochemical processes are still similar and common to all multicellular life. But that is getting a bit off the topic of Canberra birds.
