It's, indeed, prety small. Only 4 bits of chromosomes switched diferensiate 
human and chimpanze.
One, relatively large, bit of one chromozome is reversed between human and gorilla.
And only 1 small chromosome bit differ between human and oranghoutan. 2 segment 
have ther positions inverted in one chromosome.
Looking at that, one can think that all 4 species can interbreed. Note that 
there are NO deffinite proof that they can't.
