Final answer:

Cyanocitta stelleri and Cyanocitta cristata have a lower genetic similarity compared to the common chimpanzee and Homo sapiens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cyanocitta stelleri and Cyanocitta cristata are only 85-90% genetically similar, while the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and Homo sapiens are 98.5-99% genetically similar.

This means that there is a higher percentage of genetic similarity between the common chimpanzee and Homo sapiens compared to Cyanocitta stelleri and Cyanocitta cristata.

Therefore, the statement is False.
