Humans share approximately 60% of their genes with bananas, not their entire DNA. This percentage is calculated by comparing the protein-coding genes, which are often involved in fundamental cellular processes necessary for both plants and animals. The comparison of the amino acid sequence of these homologous proteins shows a similarity of roughly 40%.

That's wild, I didn't realize it was specifically the protein-coding genes. Makes sense though, since a lot of basic cell stuff would be similar across living things.
This must be true. I know a few people who show their banana behaviour every day. 😜 !LOL
