Humans share about 98-99% of their DNA with the chimpanzee, and about as much with the Bonobo, which is a highly sexual animal that regularly engages in homosexual behavior -- in fact, it only engages in heterosexual behavior when the females are in estrus.
Also, there's more genetic variation between two random people than there is between any human and a chimpanzee.
