Relatedness can be determined by comparing the genomes of two species but that is a much more complex analysis than simply we share 50% of our DNA with bananas..
Best Answer: Yes--and I will elaborate. Humans and old world monkeys share a defective gene, known as the GULO gene. The GULO gene is responsible for the synthesis of ascorbic acid. Mammals that have a malfunctioning (broken) GULO gene include fruit bats, hamsters, humans, and many old world monkeys.ew world monkeys (south american primates) do NOT have a broken GULO gene. Nor do ALL old world (Africa) monkeys. We appear to be more distantly related to those primates with functioning GULO genes than to those with the broken gene.
