A chimp is in the genus Pan.
Genus: Pan Species: Simia troglodytes
The chimp is an ape species, like gorillas, orangutans, and gibbons.
Chimps (along with gorillas, bonobos, orangutans, gibbons and siamangs) are apes. If you're asking gorilla versus chimp, then gorillas are MUCH bigger (over 2x as much for the males) but chimps can cooperate to aggress much moreso than gorillas, so one-on-one a gorilla male probably would beat a chimp male, but it's less clear if you let more than one male chimp in on it.
A Bonobo (Pan paniscus) is both a Chimp and an ape. Bonobos are considered a species of Chimp, whom they share 99.6% of their genes with. Chimps belong to the taxonomic family known as Hominidae, which includes all of the great apes (Chimps, Gorillas, and Orangutans, and humans).
No. In the beginning, these creatures were known as primates. From there they seperated into branches including apes, monkeys, humans. Over time, gorillas and chimp evolved from the apes. Chimp are smaller and live mostly in trees while gorillas have been in existence longer making them more evolved. This makes them closer to a human. They are larger, have a more similar internal structure to humans, and live on the ground. Hope it helped!
No. Humans, Chimpanzees and gorillas are all primates....but homo sapiens were the first modern human species.

It is an ape big enough to be called a monster. Bigfoot shares the same characteristics to other apes like gorillas and chimp but they walk upright.
Yes if a male silverback gorilla was confronted by a chimp or chimps it would be strong enough to kill the chimp(s) but now if a chimp or chimps fought a female gorilla that would be different with female gorillas being closer to human size
Chimps are primates, like we and monkeys, lemurs, gorillas, gibbons, orangutans.
Gorillas are one type of ape. Other apes are chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans, and humans. These are the Great apes. There are also lesser apes, called Gibbons. Ape is the category in which chimps, gorillas, are gibbons are in.
Food, territory, and mating rights. All of these tie into the "alpha" position.
