Humans and slugs have a lot more in common than you may assume at first appearance. Our DNA is 70 percent identical to slug DNA. All creatures, like plants, have a common ancestor a long time ago: the DNA of a person and a banana is 50 percent same. As a result, a human is half a banana or 40% cucumber. To some extent, all living organisms on Earth are related — this just means that our evolution took a different course at some point in time.
