We share many things with chimpanzees. Jane Goodall has shown us this through her research at the Gombe National Reserve in Tanzania. We share 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees. They often use facial expressions that look uncannily human, although we will never know if they truly possess any emotions that correspond with the expression. Chimps often greet one another with a kiss, hug, or gentle hand touch. Babies stay with their mothers until they reach adulthood. Chimps are omnivorous. They can make and use tools. All of these behaviors were researched and observed by Dr. Jane Goodall for the last 38 years.

no, they have double-stranded DNA just like humans.


How much DNA separates humans from primates?

The difference is about 1.9% between humans and chimps.


What animal are humans more closely genetically linked to pigs or apes?

humans are more closely related to chimps they share 99% of the same dna and us


How does DNA evidence support the claim that chimps are the most closely related to humans?

You can see that chimps are related to humans from DNA. We share about 98% of the nucleotides with chimps. The ERV's between chimps and humans are reverse transcripted into both creatures in the same spots and that is not plausible by anything but a relationship with them. The Chromosomes are identical except for chromosome #2 in humans and that shows a fusion of two chromosomes from our ancestors. Chimps along with all of our primate cousins are going extinct. Like in comparative morphology, comparative genomics shows that in the nested hierarchies, chimps have the most homologies and the fewest differences in a nucleotide by nucleotide comparison of the genome.


Why are chimps intelligence?

Chimps are intelligence yeah I know but they are actually almost the same with us humans. Our DNA and there's are like ours that's all I know because of Internet problems that told me to give a message to highly trained chimps.....weird.


How many percent parts humans from the chimpanzees?

Our DNA is about 98-99% similar to Chimps


Are we related to the ape family?

Yes, chimps and humans have about 98,8% the same DNA. Others are less similar. It all depends on when we separated from each species of ape.


How similar is human and cabbage DNA?

While plants and humans are very different, they do have quite a bit of DNA similarities. Humans share approximately 40-50% of DNA with cabbage. Humans share over 60% of DNA with insects, and 98% with chimps.


What type of what type of?

They are just like you but chimps have the same dna as you 98.8%


What is the closest species to humans?

Depending on who is telling the story, chimps have close to 100% similarity in their DNA to our DNA (human beings). Some scientists believe it's 97% similar while others believe it is 99% similar. Because chimps have very similar DNA (the most similar of all the animals), they are the closest mammals to the human beings.


Why or how are our family members all have DNA that is nearly identical than ours?

Most of DNA is common to all humans. Even 99% is the same as chimps have. The rest is what makes us, us. However there is enough different that we can identify one person from another by their DNA.
