I think we can say that this study provides further support for the hypothesis that humans and chimpanzees should be in one genus, rather than two different genus' because we not only share extremely similar genomes, we share similar generation time.Soojin Yi
Even though mutations per se may arise in fewer numbers in humans than in chimpanzees, those that matter will quickly spread. Mutations that are advantageous to the human, such as intelligence, probably are under strong natural selection.
