I got 31%. So I must be closely related to a monkey - that's about what a monkey would have scored on this MCQ.

Most of this quiz is just wrong. Dingoes are descended from feral dogs, bobcats belong to the subfamily Felinae together with domestic cats, while tigers and lions belong to a different subfamily Pantherinae, neanderthals are literally in the same genus as us, all birds are equally related to T. rex, both birds and crocodiles are archosaurs, which turtles are not. Overall, you just don't know how taxonomy works. Please do better the next time.
