I did read a short piece by Jared Diamond pointing out that genetic differences were on the order of those found among species within a genus. I suppose this was based on Goodman’s work. Apparently Diamond was unaware that Homo has priority over Pan, because he was not clear on that point. I think there are enough morphological differences between present day Pan and Homo species to justify retaining them in separate genera. To be more specific, that is what I would think if they were fishes.
