The actual number doesn't rank the complexity of the organism. The point of what I was referring to, was that if we descended from simian primates, then why does every other (700+) primate have 48 chromosomes, while we have 46?
An animal with 46 chromosomes can't mate with or be the offspring of one with 48. UNLESS…genetic modification took place.
Like I said, two of our chromomes have been fused to others to make 48 into 46. This would enable an organism with 46 chromosomes to genetically interact with the one formerly with 48.
Notice the double helix imagery in a lot of the Annunaki artwork from Sumeria and Mesopotamia. They were geneticists. They even said they created us.
