comparing DNA sequences between humans and chimpanzees

Do people dissect chimpanzees?
We are not directly descended from chimpanzees, we share a common ancestor.
How are humans and chimpanzees phylogenetically related?
They share a common ancestor.
What does it say when humans and chimpanzees have similar DNA?
That they share a common ancestor.
How are human beings and chimpanzees phylogenetically related?
They share a common ancestor.
Is it rue that humans have not descended from chimpanzees but do have a common ancestor with them?
Yes, that's correct. Humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor that lived several million years ago. While humans and chimpanzees have diverged along separate evolutionary paths since then, they still share a significant amount of genetic material due to their common ancestry.
If evolution is true then why there is no species excisting in between chimpansie and human?
Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees, rather both humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor. A division happened with this common ancestor....some went on to become chimpanzees and some went on to become modern humans. There are common ancestors to both humans and chimps, but they are long extinct.
The sequence of amino acids in the cytochrome c molecule an enzyme found in mitochondria is identical in humans and chimpanzees This fact best supports the concept that?
human and chimpanzees have a common ancestor
How many years did it take for a chimpanzee to turn into a human?
Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees, but both species evolved from a common ancestor.
According to the fossil record it is not correct to say that humans evolved from chimpanzees?
Humans and chimpanzees, as well as all other animals, have been evolving over immense passages of time. Humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor and since the time of that ancestor both primates have evolved for the same length of time. To our eyes the ancestor would have been similar to a chimpanzee but only because it would have been hairier and smaller than us.
Were Humans made from Gorrilas?
NO please read the bible ======================== No. The closest primates to humans are chimpanzees. We all (humans, chimpanzes, gorillas, and other primates) evolved, over millions of years, from some common ancestor, but anthropologists have not yet identified that common ancestor.
Are we from monkeys?
No. We are not descended from monkeys. Genetists and paleoanthropologists say that the common ancestor, that we do share with chimpanzees, lived around 7 million years ago. However neither chimpanzees nor monkeys evolved until millions of years later.
What has evolution got to do with chimpanzees?
According to the Theory of Darwinistic biological Evolution, chimpanzees and humans share a common ancestor. This ancestor was a node leading to the development of a clade bearing 2 new lineages, one for the taxa whose modern representative is Pan, and one for the taxa whose present day Holocene representative is Homo
