chimps evolving faster then humans

I was reading through some of the discovery magazine articles on animal intelligence and came across an article about how the genes of chimps are evolving at a faster rate then those of human beings. The article also stated that this rate of change doesn't imply that chimps are going be gaining on humans in terms of intelligence, but the scientist involved in the study believes that the reason that the chimps genes are evolving faster is because there is fewer interaction among the genes. But I still think that even with 100's of years of homo sapien existence we still have yet to evolve into a species that can interact on a more diplomatic scale. We tend to resolve through violence and hatred rather then through words and compromise. The one thing that troubles me the most is the justification of murder through the use of a divine power, that killing humans of another faith is acceptable because certain individuals believe that it's an action that will be forgiven because the people being killed are not of the same faith, I find that to be the most unintelligent way to live. Anyway getting off my soap box here I still think that humanity needs a evolution in culture and understanding, we are all intelligent yet we seem to carry out actions that make us seem barbaric and primitive.
