The bonobo (Pan paniscus) is similar to the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes).
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Troglodytes aedon.
It is the scientific name for the Common Chimpanzee, one species of the animal order 'primates'.* Pan is the name of the genus. There are two species within this genus, Pan paniscus (the Bonobo monkey), and pan troglodytes. * troglodytes is Greek for cave-dweller. 'Pan' was coined as the genus name by naturalist Lorenz Oken in 1816.Scientific Classification of the Chimpanzee * Class: Mammalia * Order: Primates * Family: Hominidae * Subfamily: Homininae * Tribe: Hominini * Subtribe: Panina * Genus: Pan * Species: Pan troglodytes For more information, see Related links below this box.
Pan troglodytes. Pan is a reference to the Greek god who was half-man and half-goat, a satyr. So basically, this refers to the way that Chimps are viewed as being half-man and half-animal. Troglodytes means "cave dwellers" in Greek. This refers to their perceived primitive lifestyle. Their is actually a community of Chimps in Senegal who cool off in caves, but this is extremely rare when compared to the activities of Chimps from other areas of Africa.

They have a different genus and species name. Humans are Homo sapiens, which means "wise man." Chimps are Pan troglodytes. Pan is a reference to the half-man-half-goat Greek deity of the same name. This genus name was chosen because chimps where looked upon as being an animal with human traits. Troglodytes means "cave dweller," a nod to their primitive lifestyle (which actually doesn't involve living in caves at all). Some scientists would like to include chimps in the homo genus because they are anatomically and cognitively very, very similar to us, but others have fought this reclassification. If that were ever to come to pass, I think Homo conscius, "the man who is aware," would be a good change.
