Chimpanzee
Facts
Chimpanzee fact file
Chimpanzees are our nearest relatives, humans and chimps being 98% the
same.
Characteristics distinguishing humans
from other apes (especially chimps) are:
. bipedalism (humans only hominid
habitually upright)
. brain size (human's being larger)
. tooth structure
and wear (linked to diet)
Chimps and humas are
closer in DNA than chimps and gorillas, placing us clearly within the ape
family.
