Humans are more closely related to apes. In 2012 scientists completed the genome of the bonobo, an African ape. When added to the genomes that have already been completed for orangutans, gorillas and chimpanzees we now have a complete DNA catalogue of the great apes. The studies show that humans are most closely related to bonobos and chimpanzees. The three are more closely related to each other than any is to gorillas.

Why should humans and cats be considered more closely related than humans and any of the other vertebrates?
All mammals produce milk, have some form of hair at some point in their life, are warm blooded and have a 4 chambered heart.
What 2 animals compete for food in a forest ecosystem?
With the exception of the omnivorous chimpanzee, the other apes all compete for food. Another is the birds Horn Bill and Hoatzin that compete for fruits, nuts, and seeds. Their is another website that gives more but this is just a few.
Is influenza caused by birds?
The Avian "Bird" flu is passed to humans by birds and their saliva and feces. Other forms of influenza that humans can get are also mutations of viruses that birds have had, some are from pigs (like swine flu) and many are from a combination of various swine, human, other, and bird flu strains that "reassort" in a host animal. For more information about how a new strain of the flu can be created through reassortant, see the related question below about what caused the 2009 Swine flu.
Are birds colour blind?
No. birds are not colour blind. They have 4 types of cone, with the ability to see ultra violet as well. Humans only have 3 types of cones, and dogs only have two.
Who is more likely to survive amoeba or humans?
humans
What is the impact of the human doll in planet of the apes?
The human doll represents that humans talked - which took the apes by surprise. The apes had been taught that they were always superior to the humans so the idea that humans talked indicates that they used to be more intelligent - possibly as intelligent as the apes.
Is a gorilla a monkeys?
No, Gorillas are apes just like humans. Apes are more intelligent than monkeys and do not have visible tails.
Did apes come from black people?
Not exactly. 'Black people' are an ethnic group of modern humans, Homo sapiens sapiens. Homo sapiens is a species of Great Apes. Therefore, you, and all other humans, regardless of ethnicity, came from apes, are apes, and produce more apes.
What is wrong with the statement 'monkeys evolved into humans?
Humans share a common ancestor with apes and monkeys. Apes and monkeys are more like our cousins than our grandparents. Thus present day monkeys can not be our ancestors, humans can not be evolved from monkeys.
What things make apes similar to humans?
Human kind originated from apes, and there are some factors that differentiate us from other primates. - Our brain is more developed. - We have is less muscle. - The pelvis and knees are more evolved for vertical posture. - We have more complex thoughts, and extensive tool use. - We branched in a different evolutionary direction.
Are apes orangutans?
Yes and No, There are two types of Apes, Great Apes and Lesser Apes. Chimpanzees, Gorillas, Orangutans, and Bonobos are all Great Apes. Gibbons and Siamangs are Lesser Apes.
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
Are monkeys related to humans?
Yes, we both evolved from a common ancestor (which no longer exists).
Do gorillas evolve directly from chimpanzees?
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!
Where do the differences begin in your family tree between great apes and humans?
we have more population . Our brains are bigger
Why do people think humans originate from monkeys?
Scientists don't think humans evolved from monkeys. They do believe that humans are more closely related to modern apes than to monkeys, but they don't believe we evolved from apes either. Humans and modern African apes both evolved from a common ancestor. The understanding of human evolution comes from the evidence presented in the fossil records and similarities found with genetic research. Many scientists believe in Darwin's theory of evolution which states that organisms evolve over time to be able to adapt to the changing environment. He based his theory on the birds in the Galapogos Islands. There were birds on the mainland and on the island that were or used to be the same species, but the birds on the island had different features. They had these different features because of their environment. That is why some scientist believe humans evolved from monkeys, they think we learned to stand up straight and use weapons because it would ensure better survival in our environment.
What were early humans?
Early humans were animals that looked more human than the apes, but that didn't look exactly like we look today.
