Chimps are our nearest living relative, correct? If I'm reading this correctly, 35 million single nucleotide differences and 90 million base pair insertions and deletions.

The supposed "split" occurred 5-7 million years ago. So that is a rate of 5-7 single nucleotide differences and 13-18 base pair insertions/deletions per year. Do we observe this rate of change today in mutations?
