No. Between humans, we share around 99% of the genome. When talking about these percentages, they are not measured the same. You share 50% of your genes with a banana, and you share around 99% with every other human. The 1% that remains between humans, is what makes us different. So the differences between a third cousin and yourself are found inside that 1%.
If we take that 1% as a whole that varies between, 1% of that 1% is shared between yourself and your cousin.
Summarizing, you are way closer to any other human than to a banana, or an apple, or whatever.
