Have you ever noticed a resemblance between yourself and an animal? Or maybe you have that one friend who just has to be directly descended from a sloth? The fact is, we aren't so far removed from animals as we might like to think. In terms of our genetic relations, we're not even that distantly related to carrots. Recently, some scientists from the University of Illinois finished the first full sequence of a pig's DNA. They found that human beings share 98% of the same DNA. Some days, you may find yourself relating more to a ferret than a lion, but most of us know what animal we best embody. Take our quiz to find out if your result agrees! Then, share this quiz with your friends to discover your group's unique menagerie.
Quiz Writer
Let us introduce you to the Listicle Liege, the Article Aficionado, the one and only Nathan. Since creating his first photo collage at the age of five with images clipped from his mom’s Chatelaine magazines (all of them), it’s been nearly impossible to stem this one’s tide of visual learning. Be it the annals of history or the latest celeb gossip, Nathan has probably researched it, likely already has a folder of relevant photos on his desktop, and definitely learned a lot of interesting facts to go with those images. Whereas most well-read adults have bookshelves full of classic literature, Nathan’s stacks are composed of National Geographic and TIME special editions and a curated section of first-grade readers (for inspiration). If you prefer picture books to wordy novels, listicles by Nathan are right up your alley.

What Was the First-Ever Animal?
It may shock you to know that humans were not the first, or even the tenth, animals to live on Earth. No, fossils and scientific analysis suggest that honor goes to the extremely strange-looking comb jelly. Where did the comb jelly (which looks a bit like a tiny jellyfish) come from? It seems it separated from the bottom of a tree! What makes this revelation so interesting that scientists used to believe the much less complex sponge was the first animal on earth. However, after several stages of peer review, scientists confirmed that the sentient comb fish, with its complete nervous system and connective tissue, gets the glory. Unfortunately, we don't have any fossils of the earliest ancestors of this pioneering creature.
How to Play?
Our personality quizzes are set up a little differently than your basic trivia quiz, but you’ve probably seen their kind around. Rather than having to choose the right answer from a list of multiple choice options, in this case, there is no “right answer”! (Two plus two will always be four, but every Golden Girls character is equally awesome.)
So, stop stressing. Just click on the answer that suits you best, and enjoy the ride. These quizzes are just for fun but who knows – you might just learn something about yourself along the way!
