Does amount of genes even say something?


Uh, yes. The difference between the human and chimp genomes is only like 1% but that minute variance clearly makes a massive difference. Different expressions of individual genes can vastly change appearance such as eye color, hair color, etc. These are physical traits but obviously, a similar concept applies to other traits.
