Why do they call common chimpanzees common?

In science, common has 2 meanings. The one that you know is the science definition in which it just means that you see something often. But, another definition is the one that means the usual species, or type of animal, in your case; a chimpanzee. When somebody says Common Chimpanzee, it just means normal chimpanzee but in a sciency way.Second answerThe reason a chimpanzee is referred to as a "common chimpanzee" is because it is one of two species that make up the genus Pan. The other species is the bonobo, also known as the "pygmy chimpanzee." This moniker is not accurate as bonobos are not shorter than chimps, just lighter built. Therefore, it is no longer an accepted term.
