Chimpanzees have 0% human DNA, just as humans have 0% chimpanzee DNA. They each have their own DNA sequences. The fact that an estimated 98.8% of the sequences are similar just means that we are closely related. It does not mean that one of us is a slightly different copy of the other. We also share some DNA sequences with carrots, but no one would suggest that carrots are partly human.

One of the weirdest facts of biology is that our DNA consists mostly of stuff that isn’t genes. This pie chart shows that about 1.5% of our DNA represents protein-coding genes.[1][2]

A single human shares between 0.7% to 5% of Neanderthal DNA upon their ancestry, the human race as a whole shares with Neanderthals 45% of their DNA so far identified, on average a single individual have 2%.

Although figures vary from study to study, it's currently generally accepted that chimpanzees (Pantroglodytes) and their close relatives the bonobos (Panpaniscus) are both humans' closest-living relatives, with each species sharing around 98.7% of our DNA.

Unfortunately this question cannot be answered precisely because no dinosaur DNA has survived. The most optimistic estimates would be under 6.8 million years for DNA to survive, though at roughly 1.5 million years, it would be so degraded that hardly any useful information could be retrieved (http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v465/n7295/full/nature09014.html) . Dinosaurs disappeared roughly 65 million years ago.

NONE that come directly from humans. However some virii may have picked up some gene sequences that are in humans during their evolution.
Plus there is nothing mystically magically special about human DNA. We share gene sequences with mice, rabbits, chimps and pretty much every other organism in the world.

Approximately, one third can be assumed to be used / involved in protein synthesis. major part of DNA molecules (base pairs/DNA sequences) are considered to be in regulatory nature ,for various genomics functions regulations.

What percentage of human DNA is non-coding?
>98%
To be more specific, only about 1.2% to 2% of the DNA in the human (nuclear) genome codes for amino acids in proteins.
“In humans, only about 2% of the genome encodes proteins.”
Genetics: We are the 98%
“Our recent ability to sequence entire genomes, along with all of their transcribed RNAs, has led to the surprising finding that only [about] 1% of the human genome is used to encode proteins.”

What percentage of DNA do humans share with orangutans?
Humans and Orangutans share approximately 97% of their DNA. This compares to about 99% sequence similarity between humans and Chimppanzee.
