11 minutes and 35 seconds is the human record for holding their breath underwater.
I learned how to do this when I got free lessons from the United States Navy because my father was in the navy. Of course, I never came close to the record but I was surprised how long I could last at the bottom of the navy swimming pool and how far I could swim underwater.
At the same huge swimming pool I learned how to dive from a very high platform.

My favorite quote from the Smithsonian:
"No matter how the calculation is done, the big point still holds: humans, chimpanzees, and bonobos are more closely related to one another than either is to gorillas or any other primate. From the perspective of this powerful test of biological kinship, humans are not only related to the great apes – we are one. The DNA evidence leaves us with one of the greatest surprises in biology: the wall between human, on the one hand, and ape or animal, on the other, has been breached. The human evolutionary tree is embedded within the great apes."
