Who is a distant relative of humans?
Well...before humans were around there were this type of primate which walked on two legs and had the same things human have but with a monkey like face so that is the closest relative but the distant i'd have to say would be a type of fish because fish were the first animals on earth

What is your closest primate?
The bonobo is the closest living relative to humans. Chimpanzees are in a very close 2nd place.Often the chimpanzee is given as an answer, due to several reasons:1. Most people don't know what a bonobo is, but they are familiar with chimps.2. Chimps were the closest living relative we knew, before we knew much about bonobos.3. Bonobos used to be considered a type of chimpanzee (previously called a pygmy chimp). However, we learned more about them, and we now consider them their own distinct species.Please also note that both bonobos and chimpanzees are apes, not monkeys.

Which primate is the closest relative to the common ancestor of all primates?
The last common ancestor between Homo sapiens and their closest relatives among other apes (Chimpanzees) occurred around 6 to 8 million years ago. Because this field is such a new one, and because the information is so limited, as of yet it is difficult to assign a specific species to the common ancestor. Right now the closest we have come is Sahelanthropus tchadensis.
Which primate is closest relative of modern man?
Bonobos , Orang utans and Chimps. Bonobos share 99% of their DNA with us. Orang utans share 96.4% of their DNA with us and Chimpanzees share 98.5% of their DNA with us humans... who knows there might be a type of primate out there that has not been discovered yet that shares more of their DNA with us the Bonobos.

How old is the creature Bigfoot?
The stories of Bigfoot are at least centuries old, possibly older. Most sightings, despite the locale, describe the same type of creature. Now there has been enough samples analyized for DNA profiles and the conclusion is a bipedel primate, unknown, that is genetically between humans and chimps. Until this, chimps were considered our closest relative.
