How are chimpanzees gorillas and orangutans the same?

Answer 1

Well they are the same and then again they are not. All three species are a part of the classification called primates (which I'm sure you knew) Which is also the classification that we humans fall under. However each individual primate is only related by that single classification. Each species has there own temperaments and behaviors that is unique for their species I'm not quite sure as to what the difference are but what I can tell you is that identifying the differences would be quite easy when you think about it. Just of the differences between those three species and our species (humans) We are surprisingly different than others of the same classification. To be completely honest most others of the Primate species are surprisingly more civil than us humans and only show aggression for the use of dominance. And the theory that man was evolved from another primate species is a common misconception. If anything we are more closely related to a prehistoric rodent... odd isn't it... odd but true.

So to answer your question and save you another paragraph of my rambling the only major similarity that those three species have is their classification primate and well... being mammals of course.
