Granted the persistence of humans provides quite a bit more, and implies the survival of (some) culture as well, which might matter more.
I’ve seen this claim before. Where does it come from?
Humans have 23† pairs of chromosomes covering 21 thousand genes; bananas have 11 pairs, triplets, or quads†† covering 36 thousand.
† Usually, but there is a surprisingly high frequency of different chromosome counts
†† I only found out about triploid and tetraploid chromosomes today, don’t expect me to know anything
If you count the exome, which is not highly conserved because it doesn't play much of a role that we know of other than coiling, it's more like 1%. So "50% of our DNA" is not accurate, it's our genes.
